Rails Photo Gallery Plugin for 3rd Party Hosting on Flickr or Picasa

Question

I don't want to store photos on the server. I'd prefer to use picasa or flickr, etc. I'm wondering what solutions are popular and work well. I've found:

• http://code.google.com/p/picasaonrails/
• http://code.google.com/p/loupe/

Has anyone tried these? Any alternative suggestions? Thanks all.

Answer 1

For flickr you can use flickr_fu or flickr. You should also have a look at this blog post.

Answer 2

I think you will find that most people will use S3 for this kind of storage. There is the amazon aws gem I think for doing this.
