Smugmug aquires Flickr

[Apple fanboy]

Take a look at Zenfolio; it's really quite convenient and easy to set up! Much easier and quicker than doing your own website via Squarespace. Linking my images to here or other places is convenient and I have never experienced any issues with that.

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a free option on smugmug? Flickr gives you 1TB free.

No free option for SmugMug. I believe it’s $70 per year for unlimited storage and all their excellent services.

No, its a paid only service.

The problem with Zenfolio (and the main reason I’m considering switching) is that they don’t sample hi-res images for Retina displays. I submitted a portfolio recently via my website and one comment was that some images were too soft of OOF. In LR they are tack sharp, but they do look fuzzy on my site.

It’s incredibly frustrating that this is an issue in 2018.

also I found that it was much quicker and easier to grab an image and share it on another site (usually a web-based forum such as this one) with Zenfolio than it was with Smugmug. Still is.

Don't know how you reached that conclusion, I literally click on an arrow icon on my SmugMug site, choose the size, copy the code and then paste it here. I don't know how it could get any simpler...

I find SM very easy to link my photos too. Issues usually are with web sites that have wonky posting procedures.

It has been some years ago now that I used Smugmug and undoubtedly they have changed their procedure -- I would hope so, anyway! It used to be rather cumbersome and I found Zenfolio's to be easier and faster. From what you are describing, it sounds as though the two services offer similar processes now.

That's a good thing, progress is always good! I've been with SmugMug since 2014 and it's always been this way for me. I think it's pretty much the same across the board now between all image hosting facilities.
