My company stores thousands of photographs of our work on an internal server, but we need a new photo management system. In an ideal world, we would have a program that:
- Is cloud-based for access anywhere ... easy to upload/pull images
- Searchable tags
- Lists photographer
- Unlimited file storage
- Unlimited file storage size
I've been looking at many programs online,but I want to ask real photographers -- what programs do you use or recommend?
Thanks for the help.

Each service has limitation that may or may not be relevant to your employer.
What file format are your images in that you must have storage for? Most online services mandate jpegs, though some RAW capabilities are provided at a significant prices.
What kind of security requirements have you? Multiple users each with their own password? Or a shared password for everyone which can bring more risk to the situation.
How should these be organized? and by what standards? And what processing and version control application interfaces do you need?
Make sure you have these and other questions answered prior to purchasing a solution. Group (company or corporate) solutions are a lot more complicated than those for individual consumers.
