I have been downloading albums as time permits for three days....still working on it.  Can't count how many times I've had to logout and back in. Their download process breaks constantly!

Just finished downloading the last one....65 albums. Arrrrrrgh.

Obviously we can't rely on cloud companies to keep to their original terms. Or for that matter, to stay in business at all. Remember Club Photo? They suddenly went down and never came back. Later they offered to sell its former customers CDs of their own photos. I remember that Steve Barr lost many thousands of photos, and even though he had been paying them hundreds per month for photo hosting, they still wanted several thousand dollars for CDS. He said forget it.

Fortunately all my photos are already on my hard drive. Only reason I even opened an account was for the 3rd party hosting.

Ditto.

Same for me. I notice that more forums (like this one) are enabling direct uploads of photos, which renders the need mostly moot - although you have to be posting from a device with the photo in it.

Just had the message drop into my in-box... bye bye photo-up-chuck...
