Image hosting with simple tagging options
-
I am wondering what people recommend for photo hosting with ability to tag items.
I know @scottalanmiller uses Flickr. What other solutions do people use?
I want the ability to let people easily add tags and comments about the people in the photos, but obviously cannot allow it to be open due to spam.
The focus of this project is posting of pictures taken from a family member's home after they passed and getting them all scanned in and published where other people will be able to identify some of the people, places, and things in the images.

I'm using Google Photos. Text within the photos are automatically searchable as well as what's in them without doing anything. Pictures of a dog can be found by searching dog. The Auto-Awesome feature I also use often with the stories, movies and animations it automatically created. If you want, descriptions can be added and then become searchable. Automatic tagging for people within the photos I do via Picasa.
-
Not much with tagging but Amazon Cloud Drive works for picture storage. Not sure if you can do meta information or not.
-
Google Photos for sure! I love Google Photos!
-
Easy for others to tag/comment is the goal. So Amazon storage is not really the desire.
I don't mind setting up a VM with some software package either. Just looking for options at this point. Want to do solid research because once started on something like this, it is difficult to change.

@JaredBusch What are you looking to tag? People? Location? Event?

If you want to host your own check out lychee

That looks pretty neat.
Looking at setting it up to test at least.

You want some almost never heard of solution that you think people will access to tag photos you post?
I suppose the idea is nice, but when things like Google Plus fails, I'm not sure how you get people to sign up and use yet another service and not have it just dry up and blow away in a few years.
I guess I'd go for Facebook or Google Photos.

Specific people will be driven to it. I could care less about the masses.
I hate FB.
Google Photos is limiting IMO.
Flikr is ok, but without tagging I am not sure I like it. It seems to revolve only aronud albums and not much arond metadata. -

I do Flickr tags, but I don't think that other people can tag my stuff there.

I do not like it at all. But that could easily be my negative bias to the killing of Picasa which I have used for years and years.

I suppose I can see that. I used Picasa years ago, but not of the last 2 years. Google Photos on the other hand.. I really rather like it.
I like how Google automatically searches and indexes faces. I haven't bothered to see if I could tag people or name a face to do a search by names instead.But one we know that Google Photos can do is share easily with others that have google accounts.

I spun up Lychee real quick last night and found it hugely lacking. The developer is obviously a hobbyist and has little desire to grow the product.
It currently has no mult-user support and when someone forked the product to add it, the main dev seemed rather uninterested with incorporating the fork in.

From a basic features as designed point of view, it is a nice looking product that I could easily see myself using. But a lack of multi-user support makes it just blatantly horrible.

Google Picasa was their competition to Flickr. From what I can tell, it failed. I'm loathe to depend on any Google systems as they don't tend to have any longevity. I've already been justified in avoiding Picasa and I wasn't even aware that they replaced it with something new. And that something new has a fraction of the press and attention that Picasa had... so the chances that it is going to stick around seems low.

I wouldn't say it failed. It was a desktop app and Google (and to a large degree, the world) has moved on from desktop apps to pure cloud based solutions. There was also Picassa Web Albums which has been superceded by Google Photos. The world moves on. That's a good thing, right?
I think Google Photos is much better than Flickr. Flickr's looking a bit dated now.

The problem I have with Photos is that there are a lot of features missing compared to Picasa.
Picasa had a pretty decent run and that is why so many feel abandoned like this.
