Thanks for the mention. I didn't know about Picturelife, but now I do. This is pretty close to what I want. Namely, a "cloud" product that let's me get all my photos into the same account, download them back when I want them, and organize online. I don't want ever want to "sync" to local storage, nor rely in anyway on local storage. Local storage is temporary. I want durable "cloud" storage. But note, I want to be able to safely backup my entire digital collection wherever I choose. Perhaps backing up the Amazon Glacier, or something like that. I don't trust that a new dotcom is going to necessarily survive. Thanks for the pointer, going to check it out.

I don't trust that a new dotcom is going to necessarily survive. I completely agree. One of the features that I love about Picturelife is the ability to setup your own storage. Instead of paying for the service, you can connect it to an Amazon S3 bucket. All the photos you upload are stored in a bucket that you own and you only pay the S3 bills. Then, because you have complete control and access to the bucket itself, you could setup a backup to Glacier every week or something.

  This is great. Had I known about this couple of weeks back, I would have opted for this instead of singing up for Dropbox and going to the initial painful step of uploading ALL my local photos (hundreds of GB) to it. Do you know if PictureLife works with Dropbox?!

    Picturelife has an option to connect to your Dropbox account but I don't think there is an option to use Dropbox as a storage medium.
