One of the key features of Everpix was the "set and forget" capability. Also their dupe-detection was really good. Do any of those do that? I guess Dropbox is the most established... I'd hate to be in this same situation in a year from now with Loom...
Everpix was really really easy and I would have been happy to pay double what I was for it, its a real shame to see it shut down.
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.

If you look at the figures in this verge article it looks like the S3 costs were almost immaterial. http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/5/5039216/everpix-life-and-d...

As an alternative I'll probably switch to Dropbox, who have been improving their 'photo upload' features, one of which is the ability to automatically upload from iPhoto (similar to how Everpix did it). One of my favourite features in Everpix was the "1 year ago today" emails they sent, which picked a fe…

Will just say for anyone that never used Everpix that flickr, zenfolio and smugmug don't really do the same job. Yes they all host photos, but the whole point is that it's an automated process, imports from multiple sources and does magic like de-duplication.
Users of this service may want to consider setting up an installation of Trovebox (formerly OpenPhoto). You can grab the sources from https://github.com/photo and host it yourself, or sign up for a paid hosted account at https://trovebox.com/ .
