> My first thought was Apple or Google is going to buy this. Love the UI, but nobody is going to pay a subscription fee for it (and I doubt that is the business plan anyway). I think the price is fair, especially as a dedicated backup service (i.e. a third backup dest.). If their terms & features are strong enough they'll likely pick up a following from enthusiast photographers who are tired of Flickr/500px and want…

I tried it two months back but didn't go premium as there's essentially no organisation. I am used to store pics in sync-date folder names like Picasa. I just went for Picasa, which tags people efficiently, has other features and costs $2.49/month for 100 GB! Though I left Picasa once they started uploading to Google+ by default. Private or not, I didn't like that. It also lacked some features as compared to Picasa W…

I also paid recently, because this is the only service that I know of that lets me share e.g. baby pics with my family only, and creates attractive web albums automatically, but still let them download everything as a zip file.

I too was stumped by the seeming lack of organization, but if you use a tool like iPhoto or aperture, you can organize things by events as opposed albums. I hadn't really used events previously, so that took some figuring out.

Look for me it works pretty well once I did. I can generally let it just sync all my pictures from all my PCs and phones and so forth, but when I need to I can make an event in something like iPhoto, and then share that as a photo page with the zip file download option for my sharees.

Well worth the money so far, although we'll see what happens to their 'unlimited' storage when I really try to upload my 500 GB Aperture collection (which is only that big because I'm too lazy to ever delete photos)...

(Everpix founder here) BTW if you love what you see, come join the team:

Our goal is to build the photo platform of the next 10 years, designed from the ground up for people's larger and larger photo collections, and today's photo taking patterns.

We have infrastructure scale (millions of full-res photos synced per day), cutting-edge photo science like nowhere else (3 level deep convolutional network type of semantic image analysis), and pixel-perfect design. We also have revenue and above average subscription rates.

We're looking for backend devs (Python + MySQL + Linux), sys ops (AWS) and Android devs. Sorry position descriptions are not posted yet, but if you're interested, ping us at info_at_everpix.com!

Couple of things:

- REALLY needs an Android uploader

- I'm using Picasa on the desktop. The sync tool works if I direct it to my Picasa folder, but things like photo rotations aren't applied. My lens doesn't record orientation so I have to manually rotate some photos in Picasa - this info is lost in the uploader so some of my pictures in Everpix are sideways - this is a showstopper for me.

Solve those two things, and take my money!

(Everpix founder here) WRT Picasa orientation, that's certainly unexpected (first time we hear about this). Please use Contact Support from the uploader menu to file a support ticket so we can track this down. Thanks!

Great thanks - I think Picasa stores this as meta data rather than in the image file so it might be quite a lot of work.

BTW the onboarding user journey is first rate, as is the creative and design work - great job.

Sync as many pictures as you want—there's no limit^1.

1. Everpix reserves the right to limit excessive use and the unlimited photos offer pertains to your personal, non-commercial use only.

Cut that shit out!

Advertising "unlimited" but having limits is illegal here and probably where you are too. Having fine print that contradicts large print is also illegal here.

So this looks amazing... and I want to buy into it... but I was just burned by Snapjoy several months ago. I feel like I'll pay the money... spend my time syncing my library and getting everything organized... and then someone else is going to snatch you guys up and shut it down. Clearly you guys have a business model and a product you're selling. If I can't even rely on you guys being in business long-term, what can…

I'm waiting for someone to do this sort of thing the right way by setting up an endowment or trust and legal instruments that can guarantee preservation of hosting (as much as possible) for at least a decade into the future.

I signed up to Everpix a few months ago and haven't looked back - the organisation takes some getting used to, but the support team are very helpful and they seem to be improving it every week. Highly recommended.

I've been waiting for something like that for ages. Since nothing has been made I just bought a dropbox membership... damn. But I guess I can use both.

I'm testing it now:

* The facebook feature is awesome! Since you can't download the pictures you've been tagged in through facebook directly I manually download them. And it's a pain.

* The hidden feature scared me at first since I thought I deleted them. Then I found how I could reveal them, but I was expecting a "config" link or at least an icon resembling it instead of a dropdown under the date.

* The moment thing is great. I wish There was an "album" thing as well where I sort my stuff by folder since the moment thing is kinda broken for me (I have pictures from a lot of different sources : facebook, camera, phone, old phone 1, old phone 2, camera of my friends...).

* no android and windows phone version ? (I own a windows phone but a Android app should be your priority).

* enter your mail -> continue sign up. I really like this way of signing up, I'll have to experiment that on my websites as well :))

* if all the pictures of a moment are hidden, the moment is hidden and you can't seem to undo that.

* I have a folder inside my principle Picture folder that I'm uploading that contains... pictures from my exes :D I really didn't want to upload that!

* The moment thing is broken. Maybe if I could change the way it sort the moments to month-group the pictures it would be better.

---

Overall it really misses an ALBUMS section in the menu where I can manually classify my pictures.

Hope you guys will keep on, you have an amazing app here.

This is brilliant. iTunes killed hierarchical organization for music, but we've still been stuck with it for photos (albums = folders). This could get rid of "albums" as we know them.

Can you explain how iTunes killed albums? It certainly hasn't for me.

you can do playlists easily. Sort songs not accordingly to their albums etc...
