A bit of caution here.  I have a Box.net account also, but once left a direct-access url open to a painting I had done that I wanted to show selected individuals.  A month or so later I got a note from Box.net that it had been downloaded more than 60 times in the intervening period.  One needs to be certain he's using the right url, and that the specifics of who can download the image are specified. 

Anyone can download anything from Flickr, and for Pete's sake never put anything important to you on Facebook.  Stuff is stolen there right and left, including from so-called art sharing sites.

The only image-sharing site I know of where your images can't be downloaded, even by right-clicking on the image, is Zenfolio.  Check out www.zenfolio.com.

Thank you. This Box.net sounds very useful. I will check it out for the future.

You can control the viewers and editors of anything you post to Box.net. I only have the free version, but I understand you can do a bit more with the paid version - still, the free version gives you lots of control about who can or cannot view, edit, and upload your content. Facebook photo albums have a pretty simple feature that allow you to copy and paste a URL for public viewing, and the viewer doesn't have to log in to Facebook. Probably Flickr is the same (so far, I've resisted the temptation to get involved with Flickr..!).

In any case, you would send the URL to people and they'd be able to view the image. On Box.net, you'd have the option of making the URL accessible ONLY to the people you specify - in other words, nobody would be able to somehow stumble across your image.

Thank you Wendy.
 
Do you have any cautions about using one or the other of these?
Who has access to these images?
Everyone, like having a website? Or only those you send the URL to?
 
Thanks,  Annie
