I am a novice at getting pics from my phone to this board, or videos

I dont want to use photobucket as i can be identified that way, i have pics and vids on my Samsung S5, i was at a protest march last night and i want to put those on a post here.

So the pics are on my phone, I have emailed them to myself and I have them on my desktop now, so please help me with that and then how about the video, i cant get it off the phone as too big unless i put it on my youtube account, which i did, but i cant link to that because that has my personal info on there too...

any ideas?

thanks

Just create a new PB account and upload them

Same w/Youtube... create a new Google account, I guess. Not as sure about this one.

If you don't want to create an account then be sure to copy the deletion link for each photo you upload. You can store the links in a Notepad file and should you choose to delete the photos later you'll have the links.

Not sure about the videos but I guess you could use a different service like DailyMotion or Vimeo and create a throwaway account.

Can't say enough good things about it. Photobucket was getting harder and harder to deal with, and Imgur is so easy.

don't have to register. click browse, look at the ad and upload, they will provide the text to link anywhere. Just like the golden dog pic
