Swabeng Thoughts: Flickr's new design and free 1 TB of storage

If you were given a free 1 Terabyte (1TB) of free storage online, would you say no? 





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

You could read more on Petapixel, PopPhoto and DPreview.

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

  4. I thought that Flickr will never cope up and be revived. It seems like everybody has forgotten about it.

  10. I'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...
