Photographers and individuals looking to organize and share their photos online can now leverage OpenPhoto, a free service designed to simplify photo management. OpenPhoto allows users to upload their photos to various cloud storage services like Dropbox, Amazon S3, or Box.net, or store them directly on OpenPhoto's platform. The service is part of The OpenPhoto Project, aiming to help users securely store their important photos.

Key Features

OpenPhoto offers a straightforward upload interface where users can set photo tags, permissions, and licenses. The service is accessible via its website and has an iPhone application for mobile organization and sharing. Users can decide where their photos are stored, providing flexibility and control over their data.

Access and Availability

Users can register using their Facebook account or email address. Upon registration, users are given a subdomain (e.g., username.openphoto.me) through which others can view their uploaded photos. The service doesn't seem to have a clear storage limit when linked with external cloud storage services, relying on the storage capacity of the linked service.

User Experience

The platform provides a simple way to share and view photos. Clicking on a photo opens it in its original size, making it convenient for viewers to see the details. However, the overall functionality and user experience are somewhat limited, suggesting that the service is still under development.
