(Not a software, but a service) I'm looking for a good, non-invasive and lightweight app/webservice that I can use to quickly upload photos from different devices onto one central image folder. (self.softwareoptions)

As the title says, I'm looking for something I can use to access a cloud image folder from many devices. Something lightweight without much bloat and good privacy features and no ads with a decent storage limit (and that doesn't compress HD photos to hell)

Free is best but paid is okay too.

I feel like there's an obvious answer here but I've yet to find one.

On Linux I have always used vsftp. Under Windows you can just enable (s)FTP functionality through IIS, even on home versions of Windows. You will have to go to the "Turn Windows features on or off" applet in the oldskool Control Panel and check off "Internet Information Services (IIS)" -> "FTP Sever."

If you're hosting this through your home internet connection you will probably want some manner of dynamic DNS so you don't annoy yourself if/when your ISP randomly changes your IP address. I use no-ip, but in true BBC tradition I must point out that other options are available. They have a little client applet you can run on your machine that regularly updates your IP address so your dinky fake domain name always points to the right place.
