Free Web Storage/Display?

Does anybody have any suggestions for web storage/display of photos, preferably free.
I had been using Fortune City but I think a few people accessing that site have encountered problems with a stealth program the Fortune City use.
I have tried Yahoo/Geocities but they have really draconian bandwidth restrictions which seems to allow viewing of no more than about three photos in a given period of time.
MSN Photos doesnt seem tohave the facility to global share photos, only by individual invitation.
Failing the free option what about a paid for service? any recommendations?

Bravenet?

I post my own pics on my own site but I also keep a gallery on Bravenet.

I use www.freeola.com

+ easy, cheap, no popups/ads/banners.
+ its reliable too.
- need to dial in with their local rate number tho.

just been trying Bravenet...it is horrible for pop ups and prompts to set obscure sites as my homepage...I never get affected by Fortune City pop ups for some reason

Bravenet isn't so bad. If you want something for nothing you have to be prepared to put up with the occasional innoccuous pop-up. I've certainly never had any prompts to adjust my homepage. Horses for courses, I guess.

I decided to stump up and upgrade to an ad free version of fortunecity plus a domain name too

Well, I'm glad you've found a good solution Paul. Hopefully it won't be long before you're enquiring about "affiliate" status!

Hopefully their pay version doesn't stealth-install Xupiter/OrbitExpress like the free one did. (I can't install updates for IE on my work computer - don't have access - so the OrbitExpress thingy was able to get on to my system without my permission. Anyone who keeps up-to-date on their browsers should have no problem, though)
