That sounds simple, and easier. Can I double check that if you upload an image directly from your computer in this way, that it isn't in reverse traceable back to your computer.

Full anonymity still exist in Internet, but cost a lot. In other more simple cases officials can trace everything. They may trace your phone, your money, your habits, your position on map. Microphone in your phone can't be switched off while you have battery in it, transmitter in your phone nonstop shows your location - do you care?
Short answer: when you upload file - it appears on sawatdee server and users watching it from server and know nothing about your computer, but if officials will need to find sender of file - they mostly will find unless you are using complicated system of proxy servers, VPN and Tor software...

You need to remove the Exif data from the image. Just did a quick Google search, and for example -- http://www.verexif.com/en/ No idea whether or not you can trust that site, and it's just what came up in a quick search.
Nonetheless, if you're worried about anonyminity, then you want to ensure Exif data is removed from your images. It's not difficult to do though, especially if you're a developer. The Exif data can include a wide range of things, such as manufacturer, device name / model, device ID#, resolution, GPS coordinates, date & time, and more. However, it doesn't include things like your name, phone#, or anything like that.
Nonetheless, if you're wanted by the police for example, there's a somewhat decent chance they can track you down by the Exif data. If not the GPS coordinates, then the device ID# if you registered your device for warranty reasons, which is basically always, because almost all shops require your name, address and phone# upon sale, and that data goes into the manufacturer's database.
