Is any of the other major photosharing sites better than Flickr for the albums hierarchy? I mean the possibility to define a depth of more than two... If I'm not mistaken in flickr you can only define Collections and then Albums in those Collections, but you can't get any deeper.

Out of curiosity what is your organizational use case? – Shizam Nov 7 '10 at 18:18
I like to have my images separated by year, for example. – Carles Nov 7 '10 at 20:58

You can also tag your images by year, giving a way to look at them across that axis. – mattdm Jan 29 '11 at 17:13

Flickr does allow a collection to contain either sets, or other collections, giving you that hierarchy

Nice, I didn't notice this. I had some sets in a collection and it didn't let me add another collection inside... Thanks. – Carles Nov 7 '10 at 20:59
@Carles I found it "less than obvious" that a collection could only contain one type of thing, but I do do this myself with a few collections – Rowland Shaw♦ Nov 8 '10 at 8:45
@Rowland - now, if flickr would make collections shareable, that would make them significantly more useful. – bill weaver Aug 31 '11 at 19:48
@bill what do you mean by "shareable"? You can always send the link out – Rowland Shaw♦ Aug 31 '11 at 20:00
@Rowland, i mean to be able to send a guest pass to someone for a collection. flickr.com/groups/flickrideas/discuss/72157600044271250 – bill weaver Aug 31 '11 at 20:42

SmugMug allows for what is essentially three levels:

Categories
--Subcategories
----Galleries

You can completely customize the names of Categories, Subcategories, and Galleries.
