Use Google Drive Instead of PhotoBucket You Filthy Animals...

KvnKvnKvn · 12-21-2015, 12:19 PM

Hello, hope all is well...

Photobucket sucks monkey balls...As long as you're cool with the NSA looking at your cards, use Google Drive...

Sharing is simple, lots of space available, accessible from every device, no ads smacking your around left to right and way quicker than Photobucket...

Here is an example of a set of cards within my Drive folder. Click share, get the link and post...

If you don't agree with this then, go bucket yourself. hahahahha

What is the difference between Google Drive and my Google+ link? Looks like the image links are formatted the same. The only issue I have with Google+ is that you can no longer edit the photos (resize). The setup you have is very clean looking though.

Google Drive is online storage.

Google+ is a social network.

I am pretty sure Google+ ties into your Drive. I don't really use Google+ on a regular basis...Post the Google+ link below...

I work from within Drive, whereas you are working from withing Google+, I think...

If I were you, I would start doing all of your pictures from Drive, then share outward on the different platforms...

Here is a link to my actual Card Folder. You can see how I have stuff broken down.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?...ms&usp=sharing

Now if I ever need to share a file or folder, I just get the sharing link and post where needed...

I can share mine out as well. it looks like it all works the same. I am just wondering what the difference actually is now that you have shown me your folder. Strange.

I'm not sure where that link came from. It took me to one of my cards...Where did you copy it from?

Yeah, that is a bit different from drive in terms of layout and whatnot...Basically they are the same thing. I assume this is a free version. I do pay a monthly fee for 1TB in Drive. This is just called Google Photos, I assume it is tied in with Google+, right?

This should be the same concept, the links will be slightly different using photos and drive...

I would still say Drive is the way to go. I store all my digital stuff there...I make videos, stored there. I make music, stored there. All or my online payment receipts, stored there. It is just all in one for digital storage...And all of it accessible from every device.

With all that being said, always assume the NSA is looking at everything in your Drive, if you are cool with that, Google Drive it up. hahhahh

I think I kinda answered your question, maybe, probably not. hahahhahaah

Yeah the last one was not going to that at all. I use photos because it is easy.

No, the link you posted is just a direct link to Google Photos. Nobody (except you) is going to see your Andre Ethier collection with that link.

Yeah, I see that now. It says it in the upper left corner. hahahahahah

To me, Drive is a no-brainer, so clean and easy to go through, plus easy to share...

Want to know what I do not like about it? I can not manually arrange my photos. So it looks like I will have to rename everything within each folder to match all the rainbows and like cards.

Yeah, that does suck. I just name them as I scan them. Seems to be the easiest way. There is 1 minute of downtime during scans, great time to type the info in.
