Dammit. That sucks. I am (well, was) a paying member of Everpix and I loved it. It was very great. It surprises me that this is how I found out about the closing. They haven't sent out the notifications to members yet, it seems.

Guess I now have to look for another similarly seamless remote backup of my photo library. Any suggestions?

We're sending out emails in batches. We will also be in touch about refunds and downloads.

Just got it. Thanks for your part in creating a product I loved. Best luck in your future endeavors.

FYI - I just got the subscription cancellation notice. It says "Your Everpix subscription has been canceled. You can continue using your account until [my renewal date, well beyond December]." You may want to change that to reduce confusion.

I am in the same boat :( so sad. Loved the product; checked the flashbacks everyday, shared through the easy photomail feature. It was way better built out than Loom and didn't have a storage cap. But yeah, what is that worth when it's not viable? :/

I'm using loom (loom.com) and its nice--very similar I think. hope it doesn't go the same way. Yes I am paying :)

I am another very, very satisfied Everpix user who is sad to see them go. They did such a perfect job of increasing visibility on old photos and I've been sharing pictures like I never did with Facebook or any other social network. Such a shame.

I'm Currently looking at loom.com as a replacement, though they don't have the same cool Flashback feature that I loved.

I just had an email pop into my inbox. Sad, indeed; I really enjoyed using it and paid money to help ensure they stuck around. I guess not enough folk felt the way I did. :-(

We're moving more into the realm of calling ourselves a backup service than the aggregator/viewer service we are mainly today.
