What are some of the free hosting sites for pix?
I posted some of this in another thread, but you might miss it because the title did not mention pictures.
I finally figured out how to do it with Google Photos. Working from a PC:
1. Log in to your Google Photos account, navigate to the desired picture (upload it from your PC of phone if you have not already)
2. Right click on it and "Open Link in New Tab"
3. In the new tab, right click on the image, select "Copy Image Location" (copying location from the URL window does not work)
4. Then go to your forum message draft, select "Img" and paste where the curser is sitting
Not sure if this helps regarding other photo hosting services. Google Photos is free and works pretty well, if you trust Google with your info.
From an Android smartphone linked to your Google account:
1. Open the photo, click on the "share" icon
2. There will be a bunch of options for places to share...select "Upload to Photos" (Googley icon)
3. It should display an icon of the file and your Google account name & email; Select "Upload"
4. Now the photo is in the Google cloud. You can link to it using a PC as described above. Or, from your phone:
5. Open Google Photos...find the image and open it
6. Click the share icon, among the many choices to share it to, select "Create Link", you should get a message that says "Link Copied. Share it in an app."
7. Navigate to the forum and paste the link into your message as described above.
The above smartphone steps work with my S7 with the latest Android update. Procedures for other phones my differ slightly.
