My Photobucket account is 89% full, anybody in this same boat.

[JeffG]

I have used Photobucket for many years as my photo storage and photo posting site.
Now my free storage is at 89% full, and they want to charge a small fee for more storage.
Anybody else in this same boat and what did you do?, pay the fee or change to another site?

Thanks in advance.

Open another acct using a different email address

word press might be a decent option - I don't use it but I went to a web design seminar where it was mentioned several years ago.

Looks like 3GB free: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

I use photos.google.com and facebook, but the fb pics disappear after a while so that sucks. Videos on google disappear too it seems..... go to watch it and it just never comes up.

Instagram has limitations & funny computer interaction - I don't know much about it but didn't like what I was reading......

I agree with John. I have 2 accounts. One for my BBQ pics, one for family pics.

Thanks guys, now i just have to figure out how to add a new email address on a Mac. PC's were easy but the Mac plays games with everything new/different you try to do.
Any input accepted, i'm running OS X El Capitan.

Jeff, just set up a free gmail web account. You can access that anytime through any platform via the google web site.

That was quick, thanks Mark, ill give it a whirl.

I just go in periodically and erase the pictures out of the library I don't need anymore. Takes me about a half hour every couple of months.

I pay the $2.99

It's works for me.

True but I went to the recipe collection and found one of yours but alas, no pics.

I am sitting at about 75% as well. I prefer the ease of sites that let me use Tapatalk and link photos from my photos folder. This is the only site I post photos on that requires photobucket. I'll set up a new email account to setup a new photobucket account when required.

same happened to me with Picasa, so i pay 5 bucks a year for 20GB

Agree with Robert. I like to look back on old posts, both mine and others, for ideas and inspiration. Can't really accomplish that on posts that have the photos removed. I'm at 77% and will pay the fee for additional storage.
