PhotoBucket is one of the biggest free image storage websites. They require registration (which is free), and if at some point you feel that you need more space, you can always upgrade for a small fee (25$ per year)… But then again, we want a free files host, not a paid one, so we’d have to make do with what we were handed out.

Once you have registered, you can create your own gallery where you can as well generate flash preview galleries of your photos for websites, blogs and forums, make folders, and see, share and display all your uploaded images in your online, customizable gallery.  Max Image Size upload !MB, 17″ Screen (1024 x 768 resolution image).

The free account provides you with 1GB space and 10GB monthly bandwidth, which is pretty much a lot. Moreover, you can upload videos of up to 5 minutes lengt. The upload can be made from both your local machine or web URL (this is a new feature) and upload up to 20 images at a time. All files you hos on PhotoBucket automatically generated in thumbnails for a preview and offer URL ready to use in HTML and BB (forums) code, as well as direct URL for hot linking. I personally use PhotoBucket and find it to be a very fast, easy and convenient way to store images online which all can be easily accessed through your well organized gallery.
