i've used filecloud for screens for years..
can anyone suggest an alt img host similar to filecloud?
hopefully free.. can hotlink and manage your files..
thanks
me too, it's a horror renewing all these pics
From the allowed pichosters, the following have a hotlink option that works at least here on forumophilia. Sorry, but none of them has a management function as filecloud.

the most reliable one, fast and is working most of the time, but has an annoying upload page
Code: |
http://imagesocket.com/ |
not quite as fast and has an annoying big replacement-pic if you have caused too much traffic, so have to check from now and then if it still works

works very well, never had problems, french site, no porn allowed, but if you set the pic for private use (not in the public gallery) the images live very long
works too, but is re-compressing the uploaded (also jpgs) pic again, so not the best quality if your preview is already web-optimized
I'm using the first three hosters alternatively, so that if one is down or hard to reach, you don't have a whole page without previews.
I used to upload the previews when i uploaded the vids, and with filecloud the pic still lives even if you posted it three months later. That doesn't work with these hosters anymore (imagesocket kills unused pics very fast), so that i'm now uloading the pics right before posting the vid
bigpichost is not allowed anymore, unfortunately even not for hotlinking
