Guys you don't even need to use a browser to use dropbox, just save to a folder and it uploads automatically, right click file for the public url.

So if you're resizing 10+ photos for example, set PS to export to the public folder, it's easy.

Is there a maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.

Yeah, I was going to say Flickr, and then also deviantART and Smugmug. I've seen pictures in excess of 14 megapixels and 10 megatyes in size on all 3 web sites.

I would offer some of my webspace but stupid 1&1 have changed my password (again) and have yet to let me reset it.

Ditto but I can't remember my FTP password! Sure it's written down, somewhere....

Mediafire wins easily.

What size files can I upload?

Free users can upload files up to 200MB in size. Pro users can upload files up to 10GB in size. Image files can be no larger than 25MB and 20000x14200 pixels in dimension for both Pro and free users.
