Flickr just hit the world by storm, offering 1TB thats 1,000gb of free online storage for your photos. In addition it has updated its web interface and mobile apps. The new look web is modern and snazzy.

Previously Flickr would always upload your photos full resolution, but only show your last 200. If you wanted the full res to show and be able to have more than 200 photos visible you needed to upgrade to a Pro account. Now you get full res and 1TB for nothing. You can pay to remove ads, or upgrade should you need more space.

I would imagine current Pro users would not be too happy, but I gather Flickr is offering pro rata refunds.

If nothing else, it is work using Flickr to hold a copy of all your digital photos.

And one more thing, if you happen to have an HTC One, within the camera settings you can turn on auto upload of photos to Flickr. All photos are private when uploaded, and you can chose the album as well. I have activated this features and turned off Dropbox now.
