Feature Set:  

Picturetrail allows you to store 500 photos or 50MB, which ever comes first. After you’ve used up your allotment, you can purchase space at the rate of $10.00 for every 500 photos annually. We uploaded our first 16 photos and they consumed 7.6 MB of storage. The free account gives you 36 photos or 20MB of storage, whichever comes first. If you plan to upload many photos, you will be buying more space.

You can create a club for just about any interest you have, or join an already established group.

This site allows you to customize your homepage by adding “About Me” text, a cool avatar and select a page background to suit your personality. You can also include graphics for each album, picture borders and page backgrounds.

Picturetrail has some editing options including soft, bold, photo–realistic and occasion backgrounds that enhance the display of your albums. You can also add music to each album and view your pictures as a slideshow.

Ease of Use of the Service:  

There’s a members area after you log in that has easy–to–use tabs to take you where you want to go within the site.

Help/Support:  

PictureTrail offers a FAQ page along with a contact form for submitting questions and getting responses.

PictureTrail offers a good service for the money—their storage limits are somewhat smaller, but the site is quite easy to use. The uploading process involves a few more steps if you need to download their software in order to do batch uploads. They do offer some neat features that other photo sharing services don’t.
