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…

I've talked too fast, the facebook sync doesn't seem to download the pictures you are tagged in.

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.

There is no difference between how iTunes and iPhoto work. They have a hierarchy internally (iTunes: albums, iPhoto: events). Then each element can be dragged into as many albums/playlists as desired, and dynamic albums/playlist can be created.

I haven't found anything in Everpix that I couldn't have gotten out of iPhoto... :(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

(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.

Its stored in ini files in each dir -- not that much work.

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…

+1 to this.

Are you guys A/B testing index.html? A: https://www.everpix.com/landing.html B: https://www.everpix.com/landing_video_explore.html

(Everpix founder here) Yes, we indeed are since last week. There's even another one here: C: https://www.everpix.com/landing_video_highlights.html

hey there! kudos for the simple explanatory, no-sound, no-parse-style-hollywood production videos! this is one of the examples where autoplay makes a lot of sense, and it's very easy to get a grip of what i can do with your product. Good job!

A comment about the website: For me at least, the huge, busy, out of focus video that can't be paused (Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows 7) was a major distraction - it took me quite a while to figure out where to look to find out what Everpix actually was. Something that might make the video more useful is subtitles saying what's happening.

Edit: I was at landing_video_highlights.html

Signed up, pointed it to the directory where I keep all my photos, and it seems unable to find the ones from the past year even though all my photos are organized by year. I have about 2 TB of photos (going back to 2000), and I shoot RAW+JPG. Is it possibly confused by the RAWs?

In that same vein, I don't see anything that says what image formats the service supports. Should I expect it now (or eventually) to support my RAW files or Photoshop edited or Lightroom edited files?

Everpix's support page lists the restrictions on file formats. RAWs are not supported. https://support.everpix.com/entries/20972951-What-kind-of-ph...

Supporting RAWs in a service like this is actually fairly difficult. Turning RAW files into something that can be displayed on the web or analyzed involves a lot of judgment calls by the software that does the RAW processing with regards to determining exposure settings, white balance, color profiles, noise reduction, etc. And processing them takes a lot more time than JPEGs.

At Picturelife (https://picturelife.com/learn, shameless plug, I work there) we support RAWs but the results aren't always perfect. Sometimes the image we produce appears too dark and sometimes the white balance is slightly off. Our solution has been to upload both the RAW and JPEG and show you in the interface which is which, with the intention of some day determining which file is edited/properly exposed one and displaying that while still allowing you to download the RAW. While we decided it's better to store all the originals including RAWs despite these difficulties, it's understandable that Everpix didn't.

I've been testing Everpix today. You guys have really nailed it: clean, nice interface, fast browsing, easy syncing, automatic organization. Everything just works. And your Photo Mail sharing is almost perfect for my needs.

Are you planning to allow mass export? I understood that you are using propriety image compression, thus mass export might be quite heavy operation, However, it's a kind of showstopper for me, if you are not going to allow it in the future.

Registered, 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 ?

Oh crap that sucks. All my photos are on a NAS too...
