What is the best online storage/sharing site? I just signed up on SmugMug and Flickr but it seems there are many more with tons of different features and looks.

I've found several of Lightroom plugins for uploading to these sites. Which one is the best and most reliable?

I have had reasonable success with Flickr and Jeff Freidl's plugin

SmugMug says their fee for a Std Account is $39.95/yr. It goes up from there. A Basic Flickr account is Free. The Flickr Pro account is $24.95/yr. With the free account there is some restriction on how much you can upload a month and you are limited to three Sets, but AFAIK, there is no limit on storage. You can upload JPG, PNG and TIFF top Flickr.
Jeffrey Freidl has plugins for both.

Ron,

Best depends on your specific needs and what you want from the site. If you can elaborate a bit more, yyou might be able to get more specific recommendations.

I use SmugMug, but my needs are relatively minimal and I really like their customer service. PBase always seems like an interesting site, but I am not in the mood to switch at this time.

Ron,

Another thing to consider is what you really want from online storage. Storage and sharing can be two totally different objectives. Sites such as SmugMug, Flickr, and Zenfolio can be great for sharing but can be hard to use if your intent is to backup your RAW files at full size.

Amazon's S3 service can be an excellent choice for online storage/backup but not at all a sharing mechanism (unless you write a front end for your site).

As Ken suggest, please elaborate a little more.

I'm backing up all my raws to Mozy
I use flickr and ephotozine to post images. Nikon also has PictureTown which was quite neat (although I don't tend to use it)
