Picasa or Flickr?

[james_tigerwoods]

I've got a Flickr account - a standard one which limits me to 200 images, not that big a deal, but I've got 180 odd (some of which I'm going to start deleting soon anyway).

However, I've also got a Picasa Web account - free image storage and up to 1Gb for free, a bit more versatile, easier to navigate and a bit more user friendly (IMHO that is).

I'm in two minds as to whether to move everything to Picasa or keep things as they are. What's the view of the PH collective?

I have a pro account at flickr.

I find it easy to navigate and upload to, plus I use it to remotely store images that I can later download should I have a hard drive (and a backup) failure.

The pro account was only $25py if I recall, and gives you unlimited storage.

I started with a flickr one and quickly ran out of space. In between starting it and filling it, I installed Picasa as a way of managing my photos on the PC - so when I ran out of space in my flickr account, instead of paying for an upgrade it seemed natural to try the picasa web option that was now available. I've almost never since used my flickr account, just find picasa so much easier - because I use the Windows software. A click of a button and the photos I want are on-line and very easy to manage. The added bonus is also installing such things as the facebook button so I can upload albums to there just as quickly if I want as well.
At some point I'll run out of space in picasa web, then I'll see what happens!

I use Picassa for viewing and basic editing of photos on my laptop so I use the web albums for uploading large groups of photos to share. The Picassa software makes it very easy so upload lots of photos and the web albums are quick and easy to use as well.

I also have a basic Flickr account for uploading the odd photo and it seems better for showing off your photos, but a bit crap for managing them.
