If you are looking for an alternative for AOL Pictures, I recommend DotPhoto.
You can download your photos to their original sizes. Also, there are several ways to upload your photos. **My favorite is the FTP upload, just drag and drop**
dotPhoto offers many ways to upload your photos!
Flash Uploader: Our easiest and most recommended uploader! Works with virtually all operating systems on all computers that can run Adobe Flash. Flash installation is required.
JAVA Multi-File (Advanced): For PC or Mac. Requires Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later running on Microsoft Windows, or Safari 2.0 or later running on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. Your security software must permit pop-ups and installation of an ActiveX application.
Email from your Camera Phone: Virtually any phone that is enabled for email and picture messaging can upload photos (and video) to your dotPhoto account.
Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card: Upload effortlessly from your camera directly to dotPhoto through your WiFi connection.
