Upload from outside source

Did a search and could not find an answer to this: I am looking for a photosite that will allow uploads from other sources. In other words, let say I want to set up a family photo album. I would upload some photos to the album but would also like to be able to allow other family members to upload to this album as well. If it is possible for uploads to come from other sources, is it possible for them to create an album and upload to that?

    Your family should be able to upload to a basic account using e-mail. See:

    I haven't tried it myself as I have a pro account and use the guest password feaure instead, but it should work. It looks like the images get uploaded to a single e-mail folder, but you could move them from there pretty easily as the account holder.

    I use another site at work that lets you e-mail upload to specific galleries (fotki.com). Fotki is a nice service as well, but when it came time to vote with my own wallet for a personal site, I picked smugmug.

    Here's my referral link if you want to save $5 when signing up at smugmug (helps me too :):)

    We're perfectly fine with multiple family members sharing a single login to an account.

    Basically, if it's someone you'd trust with your priceless photos (with your password they have the ability to delete your photos as well as see your personal information), that's fine by us. :)
