Flickr Pro price rise

[RichardC]

I've just discovered this https://imgbb.com/ Works a treat. I'm just trialling the free version to see if I like it at the minute, but 3 years unlimited storage for $107 is a really good price I reckon. Very very simple & basic to use, just what I like. No compression or anything silly going on, it just seems to work. Very quick uploads. Maintains all the exif data.

How is their pricing structured? One lump sum or a subscription?

[edit] $107 is an upfront cost. Monthly is $10.[/edit]

It doesn't seem possible to find out anything about them or what they do without creating an account and no doubt finding my way onto a mailing list.

First impressions are important. All I'm seeing is adverts. Their terms are somewhat sketchy.

Call me a skeptic (actually, I have a nasty suspicious mind), but the top review on google says it's not clear who owns it and the first blog review looks fake. https://blog.bloom.io/imgbb/ You would sort of expect a screenshot wouldn't you?

It does however seem that they have been around for four years or more.

I don't understand the value of an auto delete feature either.

That's interesting, but what is the auto-delete feature for?

For sharing files with clients, that you don't want to be accessible forever I'd guess

Funnily enough, I'm not seeing any adverts. And if you subscribe, the ad's vanish. I created an account, not received any spam from them as yet. So far I'm happy with it. I'll let it run for another month or so, & see how it goes.

I actually went looking for reviews before I even considered it, the very first hit was this https://blog.bloom.io/imgbb/ Hardly seems biased to me

It's also crazy easy to set privacy for individual photos or albums.
