    Does anyone know of a good online photo and video storage site with good user interface?

    I'm happy to pay a fee, but so many I am finding limit video playback to a few seconds to a few minutes:

    - Flickr - 90 seconds
    - Photobucket - 10 minutes

    I just want somewhere I can store photo and video memories that I can playback easily on PC, iPAD, iPhone etc...

    I need the photo storage needs of Flickr, with video flexibility of YouTube in one place - plus be able to make all private so only I can see

    Anyone any ideas or recommendations?

    Appreciate the suggestion - although $500 yearly fee for just 500 GB storage seems quite steep.......I understand their are bandwidth charges, but Flickr allows 300MB space for free (and unlimited storage space for photos for $25)

    Do they store photos too - or just videos (just looks like videos to me)?

    Cant you just use a free vps?

    We got a seagate home share a few months back and it does all what you say.

    Any computer or mobile device can play them plus you can even wiressly watch 3d movies from it on your tv. If its wireless of course.

    2tb one less than £100 at pcwotld I think.

    I would store everything on a home drive as you say, 2TB for £100 is unbeatable. Then use DropBox to have up to 2.5GB (for free) of pictures you want to share with people.

    I used Dropbox yesterday to upload to, then a friend downloaded and saved to their iPad, worked a treat. You download the Software to your PC and App to Device, create a free account and off you go!

    For videos, create your own YouTube channel.
