Yahoo! renews Flickr photos: 1 ... - The Republic

launched the new version of the photo-sharing platform, with the stated intention of making it new “formidable”. 1,024 gigabytes of free space for storage. Also released the Android app

IMAGES in the middle: more space for photos, preferably in high definition thanks to the archive of one terabyte: these are the pillars of the revival of Flickr announced by Yahoo! with the purchase of Tumblr. The differences with the previous version of the platform photo sharing are obvious at first glance: the homepage removes white spaces and offers a mosaic of images. The storage space rises for all users, free of charge, to a terabyte.

Novelty, the latter, which encourages you to share photos of increasing quality. “How big is a terabyte? – Reads Blog Yahoo! – Enough to contain the photos that you take every hour in the next forty years.”
You can choose the version without advertising (49 per year) or the pro, with 2 terabytes of space, for 499 dollars a year. More space to the video: You can load up to three minutes of clips in 1080p HD, as many as you want. The goal is clear: to broaden the user base allowing more storage space and attracting both the market “consumer” that the professional one, with that $ 50 a year can remove the advertising. The old tariff plans will no longer be activated, but users who have subscribed recurring subscriptions will (for now) renew though no longer present in the list of Flickr.

On the homepage there is a sidebar with the new flow of activities in which you log on to

recent uploads of your contacts, the activities of friends. Good news for Android users: after the iPhone app, Flickr arrives for smartphones equipped with the operating system from Google. Flickr is part of Yahoo! since 2005. Today it has over 87 million users who have contributed with 8 billion photos.
