Can anyone recommend a good, free photo sharing site for sending my photos to friends and relatives?

Picasa is an excellent photo sharing site

Flickr is another good one.

You may want to google freephotosharing. Should come up with quite a few. You're bound to find one you like. I like flickr because it works well with DPS.

I've been trying out Picasa, mainly for the photo sharing capabilities. There are three problems that I can't seem to correct. 1. I get no menu bar at the top which limits what I can do. 2. It doesn't ask me what files I want to work from, it just pulls up everything on my computer, which makes for a messy listing to work with. I've downloaded it and deleted it twice thinking the download was done wrong, but it doesn't help. 3. The download doesn't seem to have all the automatic folders. I wanted to download some templates, but it doesn't have a folder for them. I forgot to mention I downloaded the Mac version as that is what I have.

personally I prefer Flickr. I suppose simply because I enjoy the community there. However, there are several out there. Snapfish and photobucket I believe are free ( although I could easily be wrong there lol)... but in my opinion Flickr has the most to offer. I have heard a lot of people who enjoy Picasa, but I haven't tried it myself yet.

I have picasa (but i don't use it often). I also have multiply.com account -- it's a complete package thise on (but not for a freebie -- they resize your files).. but you can have as much photo's album unlike flickr where there's a limit of 300.

that said. I prefer flickr as well. But I've grown to love picasa - because ones you manage to configure your things.. you can upload to picasa and sync the web/local files. There are buttons to export to multiply, facebook and flickr as well. But I don't use picasa for editing. just for browsing and a bit of file ordering stuff..
