As Yahoo announced its acquisition of Tumblr for $1.1 Billion, they have also shown Flickr users its redesigned lay-out and a big upgrade on each users storage. Yes, each Flickr user will have up to 1 Terabyte of storage. That means more than half a million pictures (on a 6.5 megapixel) can be stored on your account.
Previous users (free) are allowed of up to 300MB worth of photos in a month, but today that will not be the case anymore. Photo-addicts will rejoice to this good news from Flickr as they can upload without limits (except that you can only have 1 TB of free space). Though the thing is its not ad-free.
If you upgrade for $50 a year, your account would be ad-free. If you want to double your storage space (to 2 TB), you have to shell-out $500 a year. But heck, can you fill out 1TB quickly? I'm pretty sure a lot of photobloggers would be delighted with the news. XD

Well I need to sort some old photos on my external hard drive to upload them all. XD
I guess I need to start uploading ASAP. XD
1 TB storage capacity is really huge, More quality pictures can now be uploaded in Flckr.
ReplyDeleteYup. And I even have a 1 TB external HD as backup before.
DeleteSwabeng thought indeed! Haha. Thanks for this. This will surely come in handy.. :)
ReplyDeleteNot just handy, very handy. XD
Deletethis is actually a good news.. thanks for the share
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Time for you to make your own account.
DeleteI thought that Flickr will never cope up and be revived. It seems like everybody has forgotten about it.
ReplyDeleteI even thought of upgrading to pro just to have unlimited disk space then came the good news. XD
DeleteJust seen this feature last night. Sure this a good news for Flickr users. Just like you, ayos toneladang photos ang i-store ko LOL
ReplyDeleteYup. Tone-toneladang photos pwedeng i-post ngayun. hehe.
DeleteI actually tried Flickr some time ago, but never really had the patience for it.. lol! But I'm happy that users like you get to have 1TB of storage space for your photos. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Mai. Pwede mo na rin ipost yung mga travel photos mo sa flickr. ^_^
DeleteGood job yahoo.But,wala bang security issues dito?
ReplyDeleteThat we have yet to find out. May back-up naman akong 1 TB din. ^_^
DeleteYeah! I am an avid Flicker user and this is something really good news.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually good news for people who really have so much photos to store. Any positive development to improving user experience is always welcome.
ReplyDeleteI've had my 1TB hard drive for about 8 months now and I barely even used 400MB so I can't imagine having an online storage the same size. Does it only save pictures or can you add some other stuff to it? Because if it's restricted to saving photos then 1 or 2TB can get you a looooong way bud...
ReplyDeletefinally!! Yahoo did a great job!! 1TB is so large.. plus loving that new layout! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so refreshing, knowing you can have a free 1TB of storage.
ReplyDeleteI just heard about the bold move of Yahoo buying Tumblr. I'm not a Flickr user but I might give it a try now especially na kelangan ko itreasure ang mga photos :) I can't trust my external hard drive to do it. Lol
