For what it's worth, the Flickr app now automatically backs up every picture; so do Picturelife & OneDrive. They all are backed by a storage array that is quite a bit economical when compared to Dropbox's current rates.
- brians 12y agoI don't believe Flickr keeps and returns to you the same videos you sent it; OneDrive may, but I don't know. If yahoo shuts down Flickr tomorrow, it's users are screwed. If Dropbox shuts down tomorrow, all my pictures are on a handful of drives. Again, major difference in how it works. Dropbox turned down buying Everpix last year, who had been an extremely promising photo management startup---because DB we're working on this. Most relevantly, the author of this article gives lip service in the first few paragraphs to the idea that design is how the system works, then reviews them based on the surface UI. He doesn't seem to look at the sync protocols of sync-focused apps!
- Mithaldu 12y agoI find this claim fairly annoying, since the free Flickr service only allows me retrieve my photos in a very down-sized format. Or did they change that in the past few years?
- samastur 12y agoI don't know, but unless your photo collection is really small (few GB) you'll quickly have to pay for its Dropbox storage at which point Flickr will be much cheaper (25$ unlimited per year).
