Sorry, I totally forgot to reply to this. The main reasons I went for
our ownCloud instance were:

 * It allows the Engagement Team to collaborate on curating the sets of images.
 * We can use it to keep our own copy of photos, in case they
disappear off the internet.
 * It means that the images can be stored alongside other team assets,
such as merchandise designs, screenshots, dummy content, and archives.

That said, I'm not dead against using another service.
