Everpix was one of the best $5/month I spent. I would have been willing to spend far more for their services. I wish they would have tried to bump the price up to save the service. Having one place for all my photos made me exceptionally happy. Even my wife absolutely loved Everpix. I guess I need to find an alternative... what are they?

    Will just say for anyone that never used Everpix that flickr, zenfolio and smugmug don't really do the same job. Yes they all host photos, but the whole point is that it's an automated process, imports from multiple sources and does magic like de-duplication.

      sounds exactly like zenfolio, flickr etc. They all supposer set and forget and they all do duplicate detection. If they didn't and everpix had a real value proposition they might still be going.

  One of the key features of Everpix was the "set and forget" capability. Also their dupe-detection was really good. Do any of those do that? I guess Dropbox is the most established... I'd hate to be in this same situation in a year from now with Loom...

    I think Loom does.

    Every time a startup I like fails I find myself less and less likely to use another one. Everpix was really really easy and I would have been happy to pay double what I was for it, its a real shame to see it shut down.

    The problem with Dropbox is that photos are eating space on my local hard drive, unless I manually manage them. Everpix was perfect from the syncing perspective. Sharing could have been improved and I think they should have put more effort to private sharing experience and that would have helped with growth too.

      You can selectively unsync particular folders in your Dropbox Advanced Preferences; that's what I do with my Camera Uploads folder.

        That still presents the problem of frequent uploads: you have to sync a folder on your hard drive, and then follow up with unsync when it gets too large, and then set up a new folder for the next batch.

  Dropbox would be ridiculously expensive to host photos with. Not a valid option.

    I'm sorry, I must have missed the link to the requirements document.

  I just rejoined Thislife.com, now part of Shutterfly. For Smugmug lovers, I also created Smugsync which will sync iPhoto to Smugmug => smugsync.net

  For what its worth Flickr gives you 1 TB for free now. Thats what I'm using. I have friends that are happy with the smugmug app that uploads to a private album..

I wish they would have tried to bump the price up to save the service. The bump would have to been at least something like tenfold to solve anything. According to the article they were -$2,294,818.17 south at the end and their subscription revenue was only $254,060.57. I'm quite confident that would have eaten their 12.4 percent conversion ratio badly.
