Question about sharing a photo on Tildes

Posted by worldasis
Tags: ask.advice, photography, hosting.image

What's the best way to link a photo from my gallery to share here? My go to with friends and family is a Google drive link. Is there something I'm unaware of that means I shouldn't create links through my Google drive for general public sharing?

    imgur.com is fine and won't show your personal info.

        I've been using Horizon for a while now because it has a decent free tier and doesn't show ads or an algorithmic feed like Imgur does. Here's a link to an image I recently uploaded:...

          Hey what’s in the image - looks cool, is it some sort of sim or game or something ?

            The game is Aurora 4X (the modern C# version). The screenshot shows the game's Economics window, specifically the Mining tab, stats for Earth. The map partially visible in the background is Sol. All the dots are the asteroids, comets, planets, moons, etc in the system, and the rings are the planetary orbits around the Sun.

            It's a pretty cool game. Definitely unique, nothing else like it out there, but it's also very tedious and complex.

            These two comments have more info, links to videos, etc:

            Hope that helps!

      Did they change it so they you can upload without having the app? It's been a while since I've tried.

        yeah, seems like it -- at least with Chrome on iOS.

    Seems like the standard these days for these sorts of shares is https://postimg.cc, if you just want to upload an image, no account, and share anonymously.

      Nice! I've been using paste.pics but they have gone downhill. I will give postimg.cc a try!
