Smile Best online photo storage?

Hi,
I am wondering what website you ladies think has the best photo storage. I have all of our pictures on an external hard drive, but would be devestated if anything happened to them...as we all would!
So I figured you all could recommend the best photo storage idea.
Thanks for all of your help!!
Annette

I'm going to use Shutterfly, I think. I have an external hard drive too, and also have online backup through my internet security suite. But that is not easy for photo sharing, while Shutterfly seems to be easy.

Shutterfly users chime in: what do you like? dislike?

This is a good question, I would love to hear more input on it. I have quite a few pictures in picasa, but also have used shutterfly and snapfish too. Picasa has a nice ap that works with the iPad (not free but worth the $4 IMO called photo uploader). Would love to hear more feedback on this!

I use Flickr Pro and their free uploader, which allows me to tag my photos all at once before uploading... love that. This info is from their site:

Flickr Pro ($24.95) is the best deal on the web for uploading and sharing your photos. No where else offers access to your original files, unlimited uploads, unlimited storage, and unlimited bandwidth.

With Pro you get:

Unlimited photo uploads (50MB per photo)
Unlimited video uploads (90 seconds max, 500MB per video)
The ability to show HD Video
Unlimited storage
Unlimited bandwidth
Archiving of high-resolution original images
The ability to replace a photo
Post any of your photos or videos in up to 60 group pools
View count and referrer statistics
Limitation of maximum image size available to others
Ad-free browsing and sharing

Compare that to what you get with a Free Account:

300 MB monthly photo upload limit (30MB per photo)
2 video uploads each month (90 seconds max, 150MB per video)
Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
Post any of your photos in up to 10 group pools
Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)
