where to store photos forever

which picture storage service is the best?
I checked one of my picassa album and found many of the precious photos taken when I was at college. IT IS a total surprise to find some of the photos taken when I was still a freshman. The photos can be displayed with a timeline style. How wonderful it is to enjoy the old  memories  of the past golden days! Thank Google! Thank Picasa! Since I did not own a smartphone when I was at college ,the photos taken are not so clear to view. If it is convenient as the Apps of smartphone today, I think I can store more meaningful photos of the past. I once used Nokia’s new web service-one web album which is called ovi to store my photos but it is a great pity that ovi closed a few years later and I loose the photos stored there. I think we had better choose stable web storage service offered by large Internet companies. Flickr ,for example ,was opened in the year of 2004. It reached its apex when it hit 44 million visits per month in the first quarter of 2008. However, Instagram is a service boosted by the population of smartphones. It had just hit 1 million users at the end of 2010. But it reached the millstone of 3OO million users!
Flickr was acquired by Yahoo in 2005 but Yahoo has the intention to sell it. Instagram was acquired by Facebook in April, 2014. Instagram is more popular among people who use smartphones to take photos and share with others. And Flickr still sticks to be a strict photography sharing website.

If you wanna store your private photos safely for a long time, you may need to upload them to different service providers in order top back them up. For example ,we can use both Flickr and Picasa to store camera-taken photography ,and share n store pictures taken by phones with Instagram and Dropbox. Some of the most precious photos can be stored in our emails to store forever. And it is convenient to send it anywhere for a backup when the web service face the danger of close-up.
