Don't rely on Flickr to back up your pictures

Valleywag reports on user complaints about the reliability of Flickr's paid service. On more than one occassion, a paying Flickr user has lost thousands of photos, without warning or recourse. Deleted photos cannot be recovered under any circumstances, and apparently, Flickr's customer support has been less than helpful in resolving these situations.

Flickr is a photo-sharing site. It is not designed for storage or backup. If you're relying on Flickr or any other photo-sharing site to store your photos, you're putting them at risk. Instead, consider an affordable and reliable online backup service to store and protect your pictures, as well as your music and other documents. You can learn more about online backup by checking out our reviews and comparison chart.
