Large is beautiful

posted by Esher, on Jan 2nd, 2009

As long we do not run out of disk space: Please upload photos in the original large size and good quality. We know it takes a bit longer but please consider this:

We have longterm goals. The web is developing really fast. What seems large now might look small in a few years. Right now we are working on very cool slideshow where you can view photos in fullscreen mode.
Streetfiles can be your online photo backup. Our harddisks are mirrored (raid). If one fails, the others take over. We also do backups. Do you have something like that at home?
Photo sharing! Allow other Streetfiles members to download your hi-res photos. Download hi-res photos from others. Here is how to do that.

And: Yes we will also update the photo uploading process soon.

What are your "longterm goals"?

"What seems large now might look small in a few years."
Sry but this is the Internet and Photos can just be big as my Screen (don´t think that we all use wall-projectors 4 our Computers in a few years). Why should i upload a 8Mb Photos if you can see everything in a 300Kb Size? Makes no sense 4 me.

screens will have more resolution and more pixels. and why not zoom into a photo when you want to see some detail? as a next step we will release our slideshow very soon.

Something between 1 and 5 mb is okay.
