Where to host photos the average joe won't be able to copy?

put a semi-opaque watermark in the middle of it.

I think flickr recently did an update where you can't right click, or get info/save image, but if you know how to read the source it circumvents it easily.

Thats what I was thinking. If someone really wants the photo they can rip the link from the source good or just take a screen cap and bust it out photoshop(or the like).

If I know the kind of people that the OP is talking about (I think we all do), print screen isn't much of a threat.

No...But File + Print then Scan is :whiste:

People can choose to disable it (not sure if it is account-based or album-based or what), and IIRC the image will then be turned into a background-image instead of a <IMG>. This is still easily defeated by Opera, but Opera (or Chrome) is not exactly what most people use...

Yeah, Opera pretty easily defeats a lot of those protection scripts.

I use Skydrive and have all of my picture folders marked private so no one but me can see them. This gives me all the advantages of setting up photo albums and viewing the pictures online, and by setting the permission to me only (or a few family members for some albums), I don't worry about them being copied. 25GB of storage for free.

Came here to post this.

I'm looking for a place that will make copying the picture I upload a bit more difficult for other people. You know, something that your uncle wouldn't figure out how to do.

Anyone knows a site like that?

Photobucket/Picasa with folder set to private. Zip photo's and store in Dropbox or Minus.

This. Flickr allows about as much lockdown on images as is possible.

Which is to say none for anybody who knows what the print screen button does. I wish sites wouldn't bother with that sh*t, it's just annoying but doesn't stop anything.

OP, file storage or file sharing? Most of the photo sharing sites will let you set a gallery to private so only your account, and those you share it with, can access it.
