Flickr is a famous photo sharing service where you can backup photos and videos. It offers 1 TB of free storage space to store photos and videos. Flickr free account user has a limit to upload photos and videos i.e 200 MB per photo & 1 GB per video. The advantage of Flickr is, it allows you to make friends and join groups.
