I am looking for a photo sharing website...so far, they are all missing something. I need these features:

1) Unlimited storage of pictures (no expiration time either, like yahoo).
2) Can pick up the pictures in-store (CVS, Walgreens) instead of printing or having them shipped.
3) I want it so other people don't have to sign in to the service to see the pictures, but i should have some control over this. For instance, like a password that will have to be input in the link given.
4) Has to be Free (ofcourse).

I found these sites so far:

1) Shutterfly: Has almost all, but alas no store pickup nor can you password protect.
2) Kodak easyshare: No password protect, site is extremely slow too.
3) Snapfish: Users have to sign in to see a shared album or picture. Boohoo.

I think there are plenty more, but i sort of doubt that they will have all of the above features.

Thanks.

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure you're not going to find all of those qualities in one hosting site. There's a saying in the bicycle component world: "Light, strong, cheap. Pick any two." Seems to me like you're trying to pick all three. If you want unlimited storage, you're going to have to pay. I would think that the best compromise would be to go with something like Smugmug. Should be just $30 a year, but then you can't pick up pictures in a store....yeah, more I think about it, the more I think a site exists that will meet all your your requests. Let us know what works out for you though.

I think i have to cross out Kodak and Snapfish from the list....they don't retain your pictures if you don't buy a print in a certain period of time. Shutterfly does retain them forever with no limitations, presumbly...
