"So we’re also giving our Flickr users one terabyte of space — for free."

This is incredible. I remember being blown away with the 1 GB of storage I got with my gmail account back in 2005. I couldn't even fathom needing a terabyte back then. What a fun time to be alive.



I worked at Yahoo at that time, and what I remember was the sheer panic from the Mail team trying to figure out how to respond...


Keep in mind as a non-pro user you can only upload 300MB a month: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/

277 years (or 7,242 fortnights) later, and you can finally use all of your space.

Edit: It appears they have removed the limit, disregard.


I think they updated the limits page, I don't see any mention of 300MB per month on there.


That limit seems to have been removed. In fact, you can upload 200mb for a single photo (with no mention of upload rate limits).
