To be fair here: Flickr pointed out, that they are pretty cheap compared to them, and that is totally correct, but Flickr only allows hosting of photos and short videos. Of course, it’s not Flickr, but it’s storage. and all of them provide storage for your photos. Sorry, Flickr! And like a lot of other users, I do also have Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Amazon & Co.

And also as you know, storage prices are decreasing instead of increasing. In 2016 I paid 45$ for TWO pro years and as you know… I just needed a safe place for my photos, not the community or pro features.

No need for pro features like stats or anything else, even if the stats were interesting… sometimes.Īnd then SmugMug bought Flickr last year and now they force all users with more than 1,000 images to leave Flickr or to upgrade (again) to a pro plain, but this time for 45$/year (with a 15% offer, the original price is 54$/year), otherwise your photos WILL BE DELETED after February 5, 2019. Why? I just needed a safe space for my photos, but I didn’t interact with the community for a long time and I never really had. At that time I canceled my pro subscription. Some years ago they introduced their new free plan: 1TB photo storage for zero bucks and it attracted many new users… I guess. As pro, you could upload as many photos as you want.

And Flickr once had a 1,000 photo limit for free users and a pro plan. TL DR: Just use the app Adios for Flickr (Mac/Win) as the Flickr download options are pretty frustrating and time consuming.įlickr was a great website… around 12 years ago.
