I manage a number of sites and I have lots of images that I use. I have, until now, stored these photos in my computer on my hard disk and uploaded them to the various sites when required. Now I am creating of online stores on Etsy and eBay and I think it would be simpler to store the photos on a site that would assign a URL, so the image could be reused on a number of different sites.
Here is what I have done so far, I have three possibilities that I am experimenting with: Picasa, Flickr and Box.net. Each assigns a URL so that I can reuse the asset. Who has experience doing this? Are there other suggestions for sites that have greater flexibility???
Any of the sites mentioned would serve your purpose. Personally I'm a huge Flickr fan, but may be overkill if you only want storage + persistent URL.
I've been thinking about this as well. The persistent URL thing is very important. I'm trying to do an e-commerce site for products that I source from overseas. I love using SmugMug but am not sure it'll work for this purpose.
