Best web photo storage for Mac

I've tried the free Flickr service and I have a Picasa account. Flickr works well with iPhoto/Aperture but only lets me display the last 200 pics I've uploaded. Picasa doesn't have this limitation, but it doesn't interface inherently with iPhoto (without using the plugin). Are there any other options available for storing photos/albums online that work well with the Mac? I only need to store less than 2000 pictures, so paying for an account wouldn't bother me. I DO need to store pics at high resolution.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Terence, as I said in my original post..."Flickr works well with iPhoto/Aperture but only lets me display the last 200 pics I've uploaded". The only way around this is to use the the paid Flickr account, which lifts this limitation. Not sure why you don't have this limitation, but I'll go look again and see if it still exists for me. It did the last time I was there.

Well, now we have another problem. I haven't used Flickr in about six months, but am able to login just fine. But since upgrading to OS X Mavericks, now when I'm in iPhoto and select photos and try to upload them to Flickr, iPhoto tells me my Flickr account isn't associated anymore and would I like to set it up.


Click on SETUP, goes to Flickr, I authorize iPhoto for OS X to access my Flickr account, it says everything is fine, but iPhoto still won't upload, giving me the same error. Tried restarting...same thing. I'll get back to you after I fix this problem.

OK, that's solved. Had to delete the Flickr account in iTunes (even though it was the same one I have) and re-add it.


You're correct...they've lifted the 200-picture limit. It looks like Yahoo! is try to really make this a viable contender...I'm super impressed. For the newbie it's still more daunting than Picasa, but for those of us who've figure out how to use Photostream and sets over the years, as well as the batch editing, it's very nice. And who can argue with a free terrabyte of storage! Thanks for your help!
