#32My 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).
People pay for Dropbox and iTunes Match (I did and I usually NEVER pay for things on internet). And since the price seems fair, I'm really considering buying it right now. So if this works on me, this is going to work on a lot of people.
Re: Everpix
#33Nice design. Really like it and the interface. But before I commit to [any] new service, I would like to understand my future time commitment to [1] start with you and [2] stay with you.
I would suggest that you add a couple of Starting Up tutorials - smth like:
Tutorial 1/2/3
"I have my collection of photos on Ubuntu/Windows/MacBook"
Level Beginner
Time estimate 5-10-15 min
Goal: in 5 min your collection is backed-up and synced with your mobile device.
ToDo....................
If starting up with you is easy, then make it easy for people to discover this in the form they already got used to (most good libraries and plugins announced here have Quick Start Up section).
Re: Everpix
#34(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…
Are you looking for people to work remotely?
Also, I'd suggest adding (or switching to) a different model for pricing instead of mirroring Flickr's model. Something more oriented around charging for adding new photos so that if someone "lapses" on their subscription all their old stuff isn't suddenly inaccessible. For example, charging $100 a year for permanent image hosting for anything uploaded while under that subscription and then adding some sort of rate limit for adding new photos if the subscription lapses, or something like that.
Second, the site design is great but I think it could be improved significantly by making more bits actionable. For example, clicking on different parts of the pricing widget should take you to the appropriate page.

#35So 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.
Or provide an AMI?
Re: Everpix
#36My photo collection is over 300 GB (I shoot raw) and I have a relatively slow internet connection; can I do a first sync by sending a hard disk somewhere?
Re: Everpix
#37Also I think that you should not offer unlimited. What if someone will dump his favourite 100 PB of photos? If I would be using your service, I would not want you to go down due to abuses of your service's normal usage, i.e. normal users would be fine with such limit.
Just put it in.
Re: Everpix
#38This fills a need, I'd say. I currently use a service (smugmug) that does this sort of thing and love the way the everpix interface looks. My primary complaint of most of these sites is speed, so this is worth a look.
I've never understood the aversion to paying for cloud backups. Even with a mirrored NAS and some (probably no longer readable) DVDs I feel like I could easily lose photos. These services are so much easier/cheaper in the long run.
Re: Everpix
#39Registered, downloaded app, attempted to sync "This folder doesn't appear to be on a Mac disk - Please select a different folder". So, why is it not OK that I keep my pictures on my NAS ?
Re: Everpix
#40Sync 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.
Seconded. Say 500gb or 300gb and tell me what i need to pay to use more.
