1. Photo sharing platform: Instagram

The "Instagram" portal is present in the current pop culture like never before.

• Facebook's photo portal Instagram now has over 300 million users.
• With these you can share your own pictures by uploading them from your smartphone. If you want, you can only share your photos with selected users.
• You can also view, like and comment on other users' pictures. You can also follow particularly talented photographers or friends to be informed about new pictures.

2. Photo sharing platform: Dropbox

If you want to share your photos in a more private setting, Dropbox may be a good alternative.

• Dropbox is not only great for photos, but also for any other files. Over 400 million users currently trust the US service.
• With Dropbox you can upload your photos either via your smartphone, your tablet or your computer and save them in different folders.
• The folders can then be shared with different people by sending them a link or inviting them by email.
• However, "Dropbox" only gives you 2 GB of free storage. Fortunately, you can expand the storage space with a few simple tricks.

3. Photo sharing platform: Flickr

Flickr is one of the oldest photo sharing platforms.

• You can currently share your pictures on Flickr with approximately 93 million other users.
• It is also possible to comment, like and share photos. Another special feature of Flickr is the ability to create groups.
• Another advantage for you is that "Flickr" provides you with 1 TB of storage space, which enables you to share your pictures in particularly high resolution.

Tips for sharing photos

• Think carefully about how publicly you want to share your pictures and choose a suitable platform for your photos accordingly.
• You should also be aware that your images are not necessarily secure, even on apparently private platforms, as these can also be attacked by hackers.
• In general, do not upload anything that other people prefer not to see. Always consider this before uploading, because even after deleting individual photos, you can never be sure that the image is still stored somewhere else.
