Try Flickr - you can upload both photos and videos, on a paid account ($ 25 per year, which is not very expensive for me), the volumes are not limited.

PIcasa with google+ connected allows you to upload photos up to 2048 in size on the wide side (with auto-squeezing) without space restrictions and with complete privacy.
And so, store an external hard drive separately somewhere at work and update it once a month.

At one time, I asked the same question, I didn’t find anything better than Flickr. I have been using the pro account for almost a year, no complaints!

I've been using Flickr for a very long time - one drawback - I can't save it.
I recently started using backblaze - very convenient - you can turn on an external drive, backup it and turn it off. but it's more of a backup than storage though.

My scenario is the following.
Shooting only in raw. Import into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, which is both a cataloger and a powerful photo processing tool. I get jpeg output only if I give the photo somewhere outside, upload the best ones to photo hosting sites, send it to print, give the photo to the participants in the events. In each specific case, different image sizes, compression ratios, the presence / absence of exif information, and also the degree of sharpness are applied. Exported jpeg (or maybe tiff) is secondary material, there is no point in storing it.
There is only one question - backup of raw files + Lightroom catalog file. For this I use an external drive. In total, I have two copies, one on a working computer, the second on a removable disk, which I try to keep physically in another room, for example, at work in a table, etc.
For backup, I use the Super Flexible File Synchronizer, which compares two trees and shows what has changed where, thereby I also control whether I have erased anything superfluous. Backup I encrypt the entire disk (partition) with TrueCrypt, because it is physically not at my place for reliability.

I'm trying Adobe Revel
pros:
+ iOS client, web access
+ unlimited uploading of photos for the first 30 days
cons:
- JPEG only
- after the first 30 days you can upload only 50 photos/month for free, removing the restriction = $6/month.
