So, a quick google brought up a few options. Google Photos give you 15GB of storage. However, if you have a gmail email address, the 15GB includes Gmail, Gdrive etc so something to bear in mind. Imgur is another one but I can't figure out how much storage space there is. Seems to work okay. I uploaded this to try it out. It's hidden on Imgur itself but hopefully visible here. Wix.com is a website builder, but apparently also offers image hosting. But there's a catch with that one - you need to create a basic website which will host the photos. ETA: Apparently there is unlimited storage space on Imgur so this may be a good choice. You can keep the images as hidden on Imgur itself, but use the direct link to upload them here using the Insert Image icon.

Found I could access my imgur account that I set up in 2017 when we were looking for alternatives to PB. It still works, can't remember why it wasn't used, will trawl back through PMs & posts to see if that highlights anything. However in the mean time I checked their FAQs and think these could be useful.

This was the photo I uploaded in 2017, we'll see which method works:_ Posting using the Imgur image link & this forum's Insert image function. Using the Imgur Direct Link & this forum's Insert image function Using the Imgur BBCode link directly into this forums's post as we do for Flickr Using the Imgur Linked BBCode link directly into this forums's post as we do for Flickr

I've had that happen with some other software - I think it was Skype many years ago, only in that case it took several days to get through to me !! Although thinking about it, it was probably emails I was waiting for. I know that texts can take a while to get through on occasion depending on how quickly the sending computer system actually sends out a text, a lot use a scheduling system to send out texts/emails every so often rather than immediately.
Hopefully you're sorted now.
Interestingly you also helped me as I searched on the forum for "imgur" in posts from me & I found a photo of Roman from back in 2016 which is .I registered with imgur. But I couldn't find it in any of my photos downloaded from my camera or phone(s). I then searched my emails for imgur & found a few from Mark with links to photos on imgur which included that one. They were photos he'd taken. I'd forgotten the folder of the ones that I'd downloaded from his phone in 2018!!!
