storing pics on the web only

i have way too many pictures saved on my computer, every time i see something funny i save it, or every time i find i good hi, res picture, or when i have something i can use in future projects i save it. but when i have way too many pics on my computer. i wish there was a good easy way to save images from the web and store them not on my computer but on a website, not like flickr or photobucket, but something where it would be as easy to store my saved images there as it would be to save them to my computer. that's the idea. when you use photobucket, you have to first save the images like normal, then go to photobucket, then upload them, add tags etc, then finally delete them from your computer. what i want, is something where i download and save an image, then it's automatically BOTH on the website and not on my computer.

i'm thinking something like dropbox, which lets you store things and make them available on other computers with dropbox or the web, the difference is, i want my pictures (or anything really) to not be on my computer, but only on the web, things that i don't hold too dear (funny pictures, stock photos & video). if i could say save images to a dropbox-like web enabled folder, the pics would be automatically uploaded to the site and stored in a hierarchy of folders the same as inside your main folder, once you chose where to save (just like you normally would) the pics get saved temporarily at that location, then would be automatically uploaded to the site, then deleted from the folder. you wouldn't have anything ever permenintly in the folder but a substructure of other folders that are all empty, the whole contents would be online. if you ever wanted a local copy for editing or other reason, you could just save a copy to another folder.
