As Flickr is reducing the "storage" for the free tier to 1000 photos starting from next year, any good alternative to it? Main purpose is for storage & backup. The Flickr pro is a bit expensive (RM240++) for my usage, so looking for something cheaper/free. My current Flickr usage is around 12GB.

So far, I find Amazon Drive the cheapest at USD 11.99 (around RM50) per year for 100GB. Any other alternative (free or paid)? Anyone have experience with Amazon Drive?

Google photos are compressed for unlimited so not exactly an alternative either.

Multiple google drive. Allow with same phone number, but don't create accounts constantly, create google account once every 2 weeks.

In fact, it is most reliable site.

i thought of paying but the issue is, they are going to delete photos if it is more than 1000. meaning to say, if one day in the future, i am unable to pay for whatever reason, all my photos risk deletion

Google Photos Original quality. App to keep viewing anytime. 500px or other site like this just not good nowadays, the system changing randomly, unreliable or expensive.

Yeah that's right original quality via multiple accs

But when I upload it via drive, it doesn't show up on Google photos

How did you upload yours

I just want better album navigation compared to Google drive
