Kodak offers unlimited storage of your photos online and all you have to do is order at least one print a year. I just ordered my yearly order to keep all my photos online and safe.
If you have not signed up with Kodak, which is free, then now is a good time because Kodak will give you 20 prints for free. Get 20 FREE Prints of your holiday memories at the Kodak Gallery!

Last month in the post Stop Sending Me Your Photo , I recommended Kodak Gallery for storing your photos online and photo printing. One of our readers, Rastin, favors Flickr for online photo storage. So I thought that I would go more into depth as to why I recommend Kodak Gallery and also compare Kodak to Flickr.
Kodak is an international company with a long history and good reputation. It is not likely that Kodak will go out of business any time soon and taking your photos with them. There have been some photo hosting companies that have shut down without any warning.
Flickr is now owned by Yahoo. Yahoo is also a large company that is a major player on the Internet. Yahoo like Kodak will probably not go anywhere. Those that had photos on Yahoo’s site did have warning to move photos to Flickr before Yahoo shut down their photo hosting. Even with the warning, there was some inconvenience.
Both Kodak Gallery and Flickr have easy-to-use web sites. Although Flickr seems to have more photo layout options than Kodak, they both have the same features such as adding photo titles, tags or keywords, and sorting order.
Kodak Gallery has more editing options than Flickr. With Flickr you can rotate images, but with Kodak you can also remove red eye, crop, and “instant fix” your photos.
Kodak is free to use with unlimited storage space and no limit on the uploading photos. Kodak requires at least one purchase every 12 months to keep your account active. There is no minimum purchase to stay active, you can purchase just one print every 12 months.
Flickr has a free and a Pro account. The free account has unlimited storage space but there is a 100mb per month upload limit. The Pro account has unlimited storage and uploading. The Pro account is $24.95 per year.
