Uploading photos to the cloud

With cloud computing software becoming more and more popular it may be time to see exactly what it is and how it can be used. There are now many cloud programs out there that allow you to upload content to a website and then access it from almost anywhere and even share these files with others.
Dropbox is an example of one of these said companies. With Dropbox you can create an account (basic one is free) and then you have a limit of how much space you have available to you.  Many people use this service to upload photos that they may want other people to be able to view online. You can create a folder and then send the link to that specific folder to another Dropbox user to view. There has been talks of how safe your personal files are on cloud programs, but generally they seem to be pretty secure.
