Do you have google photos and wish that you could use them here?

Yes, but only since I've been incapacitated, and it's harder to get to my PC. I've been having trouble with flickr on my phone.

Google provides free photo storage to anyone with a Google/gmail account. Lots of people use it to store or back up their photos.
However, Google Photo doesn't seem to work for image hosting on forums. You can post the image just fine, but the URL is temporary, so the photo disappears after hours or days. (On another forum I frequent, there has been a big thread with people experimenting with trying to use Google Photo for image hosting. Their conclusion was that it just doesn't work.)

I have them along with my gmail account, like Laura said. But I really don't use them much. I had to go and look to see what was there, and was surprised to see all the old photos and videos I have taken on my cell phone for the last year. Mostly junk reminder shots of things I was pricing while shopping! Nothing I really want to keep. I have a really cheap Tracfone, so camera quality is also not what I would use for pictures worth saving. I thought there was an option whether to save to the cloud/GP, but I must have left it at default.

The photo sharing system here works fine for me. We have a google account but rarely use it. For Christmas we got a Google system that turns on/off lights and we can ask it questions, etc. I guess we had to have an account to make it work. Kicking and screaming into the 21st century...we are getting used to it but is it getting used to us?

I don't use Google photos and I use Flickr for posting to forums. It's really easy.
I keep all of my photos on my computer and occasionally back them up on a data stick so I don't use any cloud storage for photos.
It may sound old fashioned but I would rather keep my stored photos under my control as much as possible. I don't really need to store them out in cyberspace somewhere.

I do love photos. My technological skill is, uhm... low. Very low. I tried to post pics here, but it didn't go well. So I just use the link to my blog on my Disqus site. That way, ya'll can see my garden and I don't take up too much space here.
But I do love photos so much. I'd love to see pictures of everyone's gardens, and take them to sleep and dream of walking through them.

aqua, if you love photos and would like to post some, please read the instructions that I posted here notjusttomatoes.proboards.com/thread/3746/adding-photos-postsIt is super easy to use flickr and I will be glad to help you through it if you have any trouble. I have helped others who thought that they could never post photos and now they post them all of the time.

I strongly dislike Photo Bucket. They have ruined so many older threads on various forums by making previously posted photos unavailable. That's all.

I do have google photos on my iPhone and can't figure out how to share them anywhere. I wanted to get the photos off my phone so I put them in google photos and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to move them around. My grand children can't even figure it out.
