I'm looking for a free image hosting site that allows Flash (SWF) files and also has a decent upload size limit. I seem to have narrowed it down to MyFileHut and Photojerk. Anyone here using these sites?
I do not like those green links and spam.

You'd be amazed at how cheap hosting is. I pay $5 a month and have a half gig of space and a lot of bandwidth. I've never had any down time and I am allowed to create unlimited email addresses. I can place nearly anything on the space that I want.

I do have several hosting accounts. The needs driving this project are a little different, mainly anonymity, hence the free services. It's also a spec project, so I don't want to invest any cash in it as yet.

E's, I did check out photobucket, but looks like they have a 250 KB max. That's fine for photos, but not enough for Flash.

A critical detail would be the name of the host.

Very good service so far. Not a single issue.

I agree with Railroader about paying for a site. You'll find a lot less things go wrong. Another good pay site is Smugmug.com. with prices starting at $30 per year. (with unlimited storage!)

Since you are looking for something free because of the nature of the project, click on the link to a photo forum below. It provides other suggestions.

If you're paying $5 a month, why not just get a .Mac?

Because it's still cheaper, I can create unlimited email addresses, I have 3 times the storage, I have FTP access and a lot of other features .Mac doesn't have.

We all should support Apple though.

I will not support inferior service. .Mac was a good deal when it came out, but it's overpriced and has shaky service lately.

I support Apple by buying their hardware, which is vastly superior to anything out there currently (for what I do anyway).
