Interesting that Loom was less expensive than Dropbox, even with the value add photo stuff.

For those interested in comparing, here are the respective pricing pages for each: https://loom.com/plans https://www.dropbox.com/upgrade (consumer plans)

I think the photo management space is like blog platforms. They die so rapidly, I don't want to invest the considerable time to try out a new startup. Dropbox bought out Snapjoy and now Loom. Everpix is gone. I guess Picturelife is still around.

I'd just finished getting set up on Everpix & syncing everything I have when they announced it was going to close down. It's a shame - it was the most impressive option I'd seen so far. It's definitely makes me think twice about which service I use next.

Honestly, what else are you going to write?

"We are sooooo filthy rich now. So long suckers!" I'd be more honest =)

I've got a pretty big Aperture library, so it will take a long time to sync everything. Loom offered a Aperture import feature, so I was toying with trying them out. Now I don't know what to do.
