GPhotospace – gives you 7+ GB to store and share your photos

Posted by Constantin Chirila on Dec 2, 2008 in Photography

GPhotospace it’s a Firefox Plugin made by Google to complement the Gmail email service. This plugin offers you a space of 7GB and growing ( it increases based on how long you use the service) to store your photographs and share them with your contacts/friends/relatives/clients or keep them private.

I will try to point put some pros and cons:

Pros:

  • A lot of space to be used as a space to back up your photos
  • Amazing speeds in uploading photos (it took me like 2 seconds to upload 5 photographs)
  • It’s a free service
  • Secure sharing

Cons:

  • You don’t have a personal web page to share it with the world (at least until this version)
  • It work with Gmail, so you have to register for a Gmail account
  • You can only share the photos by sending emails to your friends
  • There is no community like Flickr has.

Bottom line is that it’s an amazing service to use it to present photographs to your friends/relatives, and  has an even greater use for businesses by having a quick way to present a bunch of photographs to your clients through email.

Seams that Google try to compete with Flickr. Even if its not rising to the expectation, i still give Google a chance. They have a history of improving their services so that its clients are happy. And lets not forget that it’s a FREE service :)
