Made the mistake of thinking Flickr might be a cheap option for a commercial web site. Bought in just before going on vacation and unloading a truck of inventory. On my return I had to spend 7 days and over 100 hours unpacking, organizing and doing a big spread sheet on damage and missing inventory. The warehouse demands pictures of each damaged piece so I thought it would be convenient to insert hyperlinks into my Libre Office Spread Sheet to photos at the damage file when I load it into Flickr. What a nightmare! I kept getting "timed out" messages and files simply would not upload. Then I would be prompted to delete the offending files so the others would upload. Then the group file would fail to upload again because one or a group "timed out." What's with this timed out nonsense? So I deleted my account. Flickr may be good for casual users that can wait around all day. Now I have to burn the pictures on disc and do a mail report because I don't have time to research a picture host that doesn't suck with upload problems. Unusual since I did a preliminary load of 56 files without a hitch to test the service. I thought I had this part of my master plan mapped out for my new start-up before I went on vacation. But I don't have time for the site to straighten itself out. And I can't have a service that only works some of the time. Especially when I'm filing a claim. This isn't a casual thing where I'm uploading vacation photos of the kids and there's no deadline to get it done. For that, I'm sure Flickr is great. I see the reviews and many people like it. But for business? Absolutely not.
