“Our foremost priority is to be certain that every Flickr member is aware that photographs may be at risk for deletion if they are stored in a Flickr Free account that has more than 1,000 photos,” said a Flickr spokesperson to Time. Still, the new rule jeopardized the existence of any extra images its 100 million users had, prompting an outcry from those who have yet to save their images.
According to the company’s announcement, users with fewer than 1,000 photos - 97% of Flickr’s free users - will not be affected by the change. By comparison, Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage charges $6.99 per month for one terabyte of storage.Īfter its acquisition by SmugMug in April, Flickr updated its photo storage terms, imposing a new of limit 1,000 photos for free users.
That’s enough space for anywhere from 250,000 to 500,000 images, a far cry from the previous free user limit of 200 photos. In 2013, Flickr, then owned by Yahoo!, expanded its storage option for users, offering them one terabyte (1,000 gigabytes) of storage space for photos for free.
