I use both Snapfish and Shutterfly. As time goes by, I've realized that Shutterfly is probably the better choice because they run specials so often. Every couple of months they have 101 free prints. So I just go into my newer files and print what I want and just pay shipping.

I'm with B. I store all of mine on our firefly external hard drive.

This also helps protect the quality of the pics. :)

I store ours on external terabyte drives. Then, when I get a change to turn them all the right way and delete the horrible ones I burn them onto discs as an additional back up.
I don't trust virtual clouds. The iCloud ate up my husband's pictures off his phone and refused to give them back. You also have to pay money for more than the very small amount they give you for free.

I just let carbonate back it up everyday, along with everything else.
It's saved my life several times!

We have an external hard drive. Anytime new pictures or videos are downloaded onto the computer, we back it up on the hard drive. It then goes in the fireproof safe with our important papers. I wouldn't trust websites, who knows what/if they will be around for the long haul, and I would hate to have to try to transfers thousands of pics from one to another.

There's photobucket, which isn't to bad, and fine for everyday photo's.

There's Flickr, but after the first ? amount of pictures you have to pay. They are the best in my opinion. Very little picture distortion.

I believe Picssa also has had photo storing option.
