For several years, the picture is at the center of strategy of the internet giant. Flickr, long leading online photo storage is overtaken by the arrival of Facebook. Since the acquisition of Instagram by the social network, the race has accelerated. Google is also put emphasis on the photos on the occasion of the announcement of the new version of Google Plus last week during the Google I / O convention
For Yahoo, Flickr is one of the main services, highlighting photos, facilitating the online.... This is now done with a new version of the website and Android app putting images through frescoes, profile pages and especially the availability of 1TB of storage online photo widely for free . Google, through its Google Drive Storage System offers only 15 GB of storage for free, divided between files hosted on Google Drive and photos on Google Plus. Facebook meanwhile does not disclose the number of photos that can be posted by users.
The old Flickr Pro accounts included unlimited storage space, and that means it can exceed 1TB.
Flickr Pro users also get to view view counts and referrer statistics for their images. Lots of professionals often like this feature because it shows where a photo has been used or linked across the web.Flickr Pro users can replace photos (without having to reupload), archive high-resolution original images and enjoy an ad-free experience.
Although storage and bandwidth are unlimited, they do come with a caveat. Flickr Pro users are limited to image sizes of 50MB and video sizes of 500MB. If you want to upgrade to the larger file sizes, you'll need to convert from a Flickr Pro to a free account.
