Ask HN: Alternative to Flickr?

Posted by gls2ro on Monday January 16, 2017 @05:55AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am concerned about Flickr future. It might be just an emotional reaction to the news I've read in the last 2-3 months about Yahoo. It might be not. Still I want to explore some alternatives.

So far I used Flickr as a decent alternative to Google Photos and I stored there public and private photos from my projects.

Does anyone know a good decent alternative to Flickr? Meaning: - Possibility to have public/private photos - Setting license per image - A good trust in the parent company regarding privacy

So far my alternatives seems to be: iCloud, Dropbox, Google Photos

Smugmug comes to mind (smugmug.com), but I'm not sure about the licensing. I know that they are/were an alternative favorite for the pro-sumer photographer.

There is also http://www.photoshelter.com/

You could self-host with: https://github.com/Chevereto/Chevereto-Free

or something like OwnCloud

All this time I've been looking for something similar, and that one hasn't come up. But so far, it's my favorite. Thanks for sharing that!
