And that's why you don't use (free) cloud services as your only backup. I thought about storing all my family photos on flicker a few years ago... Would have been useless now.

Well your use case is exactly what they said that they didn't want.

That might be, but I couldn't have known a few years ago. It was just a free photo hoster back then.

Now I would be "forced" to pay, which in itself wouldn't be all too bad I guess.

I did that and I am happy about this announcement b/c I had lost faith in Yahoo a while ago and Verizon deal sealed it for me. I have over 80K pics there and no easy way for me to delete them, now they will do it for me.

Flickr is under new ownership (mine). We would love the opportunity to keep your 80K photos safe and let you share them with those you care about most. Please let me know if there's something we can do to help with this.

Flickr is no longer owned by Verizon or the remnants of Yahoo.

I do store all my family fotos on Flickr. I just pay for a pro account.

Thank you! You rock and we love you. :)

You just said, don't use a free service to back up. They said, "okay, it's not free" which is exactly what you just said was the right thing to do.

> I thought about storing all my family photos on flicker a few years ago... Would have been useless now.

No, it would have been exactly as you just said. You'd start paying and your backup would still be there.
