Everpix is Shutting Down

Very disappointing. I've been promoting Everpix to my friends and family, and had paid for an annual plan myself.

Will need to hunt down a new alternative.

I really liked Everpix and was a paying customer. A real shame. I appreciate that they're giving refunds.

I used it as my photo library in the cloud. I have far too many photos to put on my phone, but it was nice to be able to look them up to show people when I'm out. Not sure what to use now! Flickr? To be honest, there isn't another service I trust to keep my photos private, and that's what Everpix was billed as.

I've never used Everpix ... though I considered signing up a while back due to the critical acclaim they seemed to have achieved. But I've given up hosting my photos with paid services. The best alternative I've found is Koken. It is free software you host yourself, and provides great interface to manage, publish, and share your photos. Additionally, they have plugins from Lightroom to publish directly from your desktop to your host. I'm certain it lacks many of the algorithmic and aggregating features Everpix offered ... but for organizing my collection, and sharing it in a place I know won't decide to go out of business, it's worked well for me.
