Re: Photobucket Demands $400 Ransom to Release Photos
Is it really such a burden to store you own images? I never had such an account. It's spiffy for uploading full res images, but my life doesn't depend on it. Flash drives are cheap and huge, and external hard drives are dirt cheap. I get why people use such services, but backing up your own files is easy and important on many levels.
IDK, maybe because I'm old school, and remember using computers that had hard drives not much larger then a box of floppies that failed often.

Re: Photobucket Demands $400 Ransom to Release Photos
As I've mentioned in this thread before I have a paid photobucket (PB) account, gives me extra space for something like $29 a year. I've had it for a while now. It's why my "3rd party links still work, at least until my current paid subscription expires at which point I too would have to pay the $500 for 3rd party links.
I literally have thousands of photo's loaded to PB, not just my own, which I should still have copies of on my hard drives, but also appropriate photo's I've used in threads here and elsewhere in cyberland.
I wish I was better organized with my own photo's but I am not and not knowing which I still have, I have been downloading all of my PB albums, one at a time, no other way to do it that I can find. It's long slow process and I'm not halfway down yet. Recently downloading the albums won't download at all, keep getting error messages. Internet speculation is that's by design too.
For anyone trying to get their albums from PB and having a hard time, if they're able to download at all, I found an extension for Google that gets around the error and downloads them with no problem, still one at a time, but now I'm able to finish getting my photos before PB shuts me all the way out. Sometimes it's pretty fast too.
It's not free, it costs $1.99, but it's worth it if you want to be rid of PB and get your stuff. (only works with photos, if you have videos on PB too they need to be manually downloaded, if possible)
The Google Play Store app is called:
Photobucket Album Downloader (Unlimit)

Re: Photobucket Demands $400 Ransom to Release Photos
I have a dedicated 2 TB hard drive with it's own external backup drive for our photos. Every year I also burn that entire year of photos to a blank DVD as an additional archive. Unless my house explodes, I should be fine, and I don't have to worry about someone else having access to and control over my photos. Look what PB did to you...they're holding you hostage.
