Flicker iannounced free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos, or pay $50/yr. Shopping for an alternative photo sharing site with a good user interface. Have you found one?

Yes. For about $4.10 a month. It called Flicker.

Flickr does not back up RAW files. Any alternatives to back up RAW files also?

Although a I have a little over a hundred pictures on Flickr, I use Google Photos for sharing. I post a bunch of pictures, put them into an album, and then share the link with the relevant people. Easy peasy.

Zenfolio hosts raw files. Their plans are $$$ and website reliability is so-so. They are down right now. Am I understanding this correctly? Do you want someone to warehouse an unlimited number of your images for free?
[edit]
They are back up - their basic plan lets you host an unlimited number of files - but nothing larger than 36 mb - for $60/yr. It will also host raw files.

Zenfolio does raw - but for raw files larger than 36 mb you'll need the pro plan, which will cost you $120/yr

Thanks. Thought it timely to see if there was anything better out there since Flickr is charging.

I agree. I've had a Flickr Pro account for quite a few years now (I have 44,000 photos there) and one thing about Flickr I really like is their hierarchical structure: photos into Albums; Albums into Collections; Collections into higher-level Collections; etc. Someone going to my front page is faced with only about 50 choices (Collections) and they can drill down within those to find what they are interested in. There are more than 1000 Albums and it would be frustrating to attempt to wade through all of those without some better structure.$50/year is not bad for unlimite4d photographs.

If you are an Amazon Prime member you get unlimited photo storage (including RAW files), 5 GB of storage for videos, document, and other files for yourself. I use it as my main backup photo storage resource in the cloud for both my JPEG and RAW file photos.

If you get an unlimited Yahoo web hosting plan for about $15 a month, make your own website and store however much of whatever data you want with FTP and password protect SSL directories...

I've been paying for a Flicker "Pro" account for years. They've had a storage limit for as long as I can remember, above which they've charged that fee for unlimited # of images. I passed that limit years ago and forget what the max was in the past. I think the 1000 image limit now is just an adjustment, not really a new fee. IMO, it's a bargain at about $1 a week.
