I am trying to decide whether or not it is worth the expense of turning my Flickr free account to the Pro version. Currently the 2 year plan would cost about $107 Australian dollars per year if I take up the 2 year plan. It would basically just be for the storage and for sharing with friends and family ad free.
Does anyone use Flickr Pro?

I have Flickr Pro and honestly, since I upgraded I have had significantly fewer views/comments then I had before. Not sure about other people's experience.
I don't have any ads though and the community is excellent.

Thanks srmoment for your reply. I'm not so concerned about the views or comments, but the idea of no ads and a friendly community sounds good. |

I thought I responded back on this thread, but apparently I didn't. I have the Pro version as I use Flickr to share photos with family (and have been for quite some time, which is why I need the storage). I really don't use most of the Pro features, and I rarely share content publicly.

Thanks for your input @andy, it’s the storage that’s got me interested.

Jackstrap, I have been using the free version of Flickr for many years. I don't know if I will ever upgrade to the pro version. If all you want is free online storage space so others can view or download your pictures, there are some other free alternatives. 1- Dropbox. The free account gives you 2 Gbt of storage. www.dropbox.com/basicPut all the photos you want to share in a folder either by uploading to the Dropbox cloud or on your PC (if using the PC Dropbox APP it will sync to the cloud) When you share a folder with someone who does not have Dropbox and they open the link, they can view the pictures in a gallery and download all of them or just the ones they want. 2- Mega.io. The free account gives you 20 Gbt storage. It gives you similar options to Dropbox. It also has an optional PC app to sync to the cloud. But you can login and upload directly to the web and share the links to the folders you choose. mega.io/There is also Google Drive and One Drive but I don't use them much for file sharing. I find Dropbox and Mega.io much more user friendly. Kind regards Chris |
