cyaker I am considering installing Gallery on my web site hosted by Sitelutions. It is one of three they provide but don't support. I am sort of challenged regarding the size of files I can upload. As a full time RV'er ( Recreational Vehicle) I connect to the Internet through a Verizon MiFi device and am capacity constrained. I have used Adobe Bridge but it doesn't work on tablets without Flash so I am looking for an alternative. Gallery might fit that need but if file size eats up my monthly allocation I need to find another answer.

Your the first to ask that. Minimum file size: 1px. But i don't think that you would know what the picture was at that resolution. :-)
Resize on your local PC before you upload the items from your camera to a size that is acceptable to you and your viewers.

Just a suggestion (maybe not a deireable one) bit if you're challenged on the file sizes you can upload, then it doesn't matter whether your solution is Gallery or some other product. A 5 meg upload is going to be 5 meg upload. Perhaps you need to consider reducing the resolution of your camera or as you have already hinted, find something on your tablet to do some resizing (so you can upload the lower resolution images).

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry but I am not familiar with the file size of 1px and don't upload from my camera which ican be as high 500 Megabytes. I usually use a mac to reduce pictures to between 50 and 200 KB before uploading. From what I am hearing I will still be able to do that with Gallery.
