There are many photo sharing websites out there but here are a few that are popular and easy to use.

Flickr
Flickr is an online photo management website that lets you do everything! Upload, edit, organize, view, it has it all. In order to upload your photos you will need to create a free basic account (there are other accounts available for a cost if you need more storage space). To view photos you do not need an account.
