DPhoto is a good looking photo sharing site that also guarantees secure backup of your photos. It offers reasonably priced memberships which provide you with an ad and branding free platform for displaying your photos. The user interface is very well designed and galleries are fully customizable to allow your creativity to run free. DPhoto is a pretty good service, but we would also recommend checking out some of the entries in our top ten before committing yourself.
Uploading your photos to DPhoto is as simple and painless as it gets. There is only one method available - using the online web-based tool - but the interface is so well designed and easy to use that you won't need anything else. It uses Flash to provide a rich user interface, which you might need to install although most browsers will already have it ready to go. We were disappointed to see that there were no plug-ins for things like Google Picassa on offer, but it's only a small niggle.
When your photos are uploaded you can take advantage of the Director tool that DPhoto offers for organising your photos and albums. It is, again, a web based tool with a very well designed user interface which is easy to use. It also takes some of the hassle out of organizing your photos by automatically rotating them to the correct orientation and removing duplicates. This tool is also the thing to use for creating new albums and slideshows to show off your photos in their best light. The slideshows are particularly well designed and can be viewed full screen in most browsers. Galleries also adapt if they are being viewed on an iPhone to fit the screen properly and allow users to take advantage of the touch screen.
DPhoto doesn't provide much else in the way of sharing features, but it does let you have complete control over who can see your galleries by using passwords. Although there are no other features, we think it provides a good way of showing off your photos in an elegant manner. Galleries and slideshows are very easy to navigate for visitors and you are unrestricted in the amount of uploads and downloads that are allowed. As an added extra DPhoto guarantee the safety of all your photos by using Amazon's secure backup service to store them so you can use your account as secure backup storage.
DPhoto is a good looking photo sharing site which lacks a few features, but does everything you need to display your photos in an elegant and user friendly manner. There is no free option available to try, but the price plans are flexible so that you get exactly what you want. If you are looking for a good quality service which can guarantee the safety of your photos then DPhoto is well worth a look.
