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 suppose it's not a huge difference, other than Loom having a 50 GB plan and Dropbox not having one.
Dropbox: 200 GB / $200 ($1 per GB)
It's quite the difference
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'm sorry, but I think these startups just give other startups a bad name. I'm the CEO of Picturelife and I wouldn't dream of rolling over like this so easily. We have thousands of customers and just killing our service would be such an assault on their trust. All these services you mention are just taking the easy way out. There's a long road ahead for us and we'll going to keep making the product and experience bet…

Do you find Dropbox works for you with a giant library? I have ~1.5Tb of photos at this point, which seems too big for any of their accounts. How do you have it set up?
Ha, is "giant" relative or what... I am currently at ~98% of my 215GB Dropbox account and am stressing about what to do. The next tier doesn't seem cost effective for me and I don't have much room for clearing house. One thought I have is converting a sizable portion of old Canon CR2 raw files to adobe DNG since I've noticed that reduces filesize by roughly 20% for the files that I have. This isn't really a long term…

There's also Syncany for a more client-oriented approach:

"We are sooooo filthy rich now. So long suckers!" I'd be more honest =)
They worked hard for that, didn't they?
If you just made several mil I honestly doubt you're thinking about making the "transition as smooth as possible". You're thinking "should I buy a Lambo or a Ferrari?"
They probably got a memo from Dropbox saying "now that we own your ass, here is a press release that you'll publish asap"
This is really disappointing. I have been a paying Loom member since shortly after the service was released, it's too bad it wasn't enough to keep it an independent company. After DivvyShot, Everpix, Snapjoy, and now Loom, I don't think I can trust another photo management startup again.
I've noticed that these days I avoid all free services and, when the information is available to me, will pick the lifestyle over the vc backed company.
iCloud photos work much better than Loom. Loom is buggy. And it will suck more at Dropbox, just like what happened to Mailbox (seriously, what has Mailbox been doing for 6 months after iOS 7 has been released?!).

Glad to hear you at least want to be in it for the long haul.
