I received notice that my Flickr Pro account comes due in about a month. I have used this service for many years. When I checked the cost, it turned out to be $50. I assumed this was for two years as it was the last time I renewed in 2017. Nope. The new owners (SmugMug) have doubled the cost. There is a free account, but that allows only 1000 photos and in twelve years I have accumulated far more images. It is not that I take so many photos, it is that I have accumulated photos over a long duration.
I already have all of my photos backed up in Google Photos. I will have to consider how much I value the full quality images Flickr allows me to store. I guess it is time to look at options. Perhaps I will take the time to outline the options I locate.
