What’s your favourite photo hosting site?

I’m currently using Photobucket, but it’s inadequate for my needs. What I really want to do is to upload a folder from my computer, and have it copy the structure, with folders inside folders, and so on. With photobucket you have to create each subdirectory manually, and it takes several minutes each. It makes creating a directory structure a painful chore. Anyone know of a site that will do what I want?

Plus, it should be easier to move pictures from one folder to another.

Well, [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com) does let you organise photos by sets and by collections. (The difference is that collections contain sets.) However, you can’t upload multiple directories at once into different sets: you would have to do it one directory at a time into one set.
