Uploading and sharing images and

other file types over the internet can be
considered as content sharing. Using Web
2.0 in content sharing has grown
tremendously with the emergence of
social media. Purposes of content sharing
ranges from promoting business to target
clients, gaining recognition in particular
areas, and sharing their experiences with
friends in social communities. Whatever
your reason for sharing any form of
information over the internet, it is
expected that you remember to keep your
privacy settings right for your intention. Thinking twice before clicking should be one’s personal
commitment to responsible netizenship.
There are many ways to upload and share images using numerous online platforms like
Facebook and Instagram. Many photo sharing sites offer photo hosting, which means that photo
on their site can be displayed on your blog or website without needing to move them on your
server. This means savings in storage space which you can allot for other users.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING PHOTO SHARING SITES
Filipinos are among the top users of social media/ photo sharing sites in the world.

There are several things to consider in choosing the best places to upload or share videos and
images. The following are some of them.

 Storage space- Does the photo sharing site have enough storage space for your photo
uploads?
 Cost of storage – Does the photo sharing site charge you for storage or maintenance?
 Quality- When uploading photos, qualities must not be sacrificed, high resolution should
be preserved and not compressed.
 Ease of use- Is the uploading process quick and easy? Does the site have editing features?
 Ease of Access- Is it easy finding uploaded photos by date, tags, and other means without
any barrier?
 Share ability- Can photos be easily shared to other sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter?
 Printability- Are you able to print or download photos effortlessly?
 Privacy- Is it must be fully controlled by the user and should be password protected?
