While you can purchase additional storage, 1T (offered for free from Flickr) will cost $50 a month. Larger images count against your Google Drive storage allotment, which allows 5GB per month across Google Drive and Google+. You can upload an unlimited number of standard-size photos (2048 pixels along the longest edge of a photo), which is an optimal size for sharing on the Web. For instance, if you upload a series of related images, Google can turn those into an animated GIF or into a panoramic shot.Īnd for those who have large collections of photos, Google has added a new visual search, which means that instead of searching by tags (the tags you have to add as you upload each picture), you can type in a search term such as "flower" or "snake," and Google will find the images for you through what it calls "computer vision and machine learning." Better yet, the Google+ update includes a number of automated features that will appeal to casual photographers. But at least there’s an active community forum that you can use to discuss problems.Despite its primary use as a social network, Google+ photo tools make it a good place to collect your work and it's easy to confine viewers to a limited circle if you're concerned about privacy.
In saying that, you can contact the support team via Flickr’s Twitter profile.Īdditionally, there is a selection of self-help resources, but they are neither as useful nor as plentiful as we would have liked.
All users can contact the support team via the online contact form, but there is a notable absence of live chat or phone support. Unfortunately, Flickr’s support services aren’t nearly as good as they could be. If you just want to use the platform for pure cloud storage, simply set your files to private. For starters, you can specify a range of privacy settings to determine whether or not people can download, share, or find your files via public searches.Īt the same time, Flickr’s servers are protected by a range of advanced security integrations. The Flickr dashboard is simple and intuitive (Image credit: Flickr) Flickr review: securityĪlthough Flickr certainly isn’t the most secure cloud storage provider, it still comes with the basic settings needed to protect your files online.
