Please suggest a service that will provide a link to an image

[relztrah]

Occasionally I need to post a link to a screenshot or PDF file when the blog or forum doesn't allow attachments. This is also the case when contacting a vendor on their website where there is a comments box, but no option to attach an image or file. I've been using imgur but it's very cluttered and has become more of a Vimeo-type service where you post videos and such. The ad-free version is complicated.

So, is there a paid service that will allow me to upload a screenshot or PDF and provide a link to it? I don't need to upload videos, only still images. Any ideas?

I use OneDrive which comes with built in sharing options and the ability to embed links.

Embed files directly into your website or blog - OneDrive (home or personal) (microsoft.com)

Share OneDrive files and folders - Office Support (microsoft.com)

I would say any file sharing service such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox will allow you to host images.

This is the one I use. It's straightforward and simple. For images, not PDF files. Anything other than images I'd use one of the ones recommended by the others.

Postimages — free image hosting / image upload

I use this for images Fast, Free Image Hosting - ImageBam
although it shows videos, they now only allow images.

As far as pdf files, I might upload to google drive and get a share link and post the share link. I don't post the share link in the forum. Rather I send it to the person that requested the pdf by personal message. After they have obtained it, I remove it from google drive.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Imageshack is an excellent paid image host. I used to use them when their website was free.

An update to my post #5. ImageBam has a different server. The entire interface has changed. I've contacted support about quite a few problems I'm having. At least I got a response that the devs are looking into it. I won't recommend this to anyone until the issues are fixed.
1. Some images appear twice
2. I can not upload anything to my existing galleries(folders); I have to create new names. Example I have a hardware and tech gallery. I had to create hardware2 to upload an image because none of my galleries are show as a possible upload location.
3. Not all my galleries appear when I click on My Galleries but the images appear when I choose to view My Images so they are on the site but I can't get to them directly by viewing My Galleries.
4. Some items I had previously deleted (before the site was changed) appear as removed but waste space giving 3 links to a non-existent image.
5. I tried to delete an image, under the new set-up It said it was deleted and yet it still appears and shows the 3 links.

I might try this
imgbox - fast, simple image host

A few days later and a review of the above site: I uploaded an image, and posted it on one of the forums I look in at, no need to create an account at imgbox to upload and get a link to post an image. A removal link was generated should I wish to remove the image later. (I'll do that once I find where I actually tested the image. )
