Ive been seeing a lot of BS about them lately. I was bad about taking build pics with my phone then uploading them and deleting off my phone.

Anyone know if theres any kind of app or script to download all my pics for me? One of the things on my to-do list to look into this weekend

You can still access all of your photos and download the complete albums. I've done that with mine today and then deleted my account. Their services have been on the decline since November 2015 when they completely broke the mobile app and never released an update.

The best thing to do here on SVTP is to just drag and drop the image from your device. No need for a 3rd party host.

That is my plan moving forward. Be a pain having to go back and edit my build thread on here. I live in the country and my internet is awful.

I downloaded all of my images about a month ago. I have 10+ years of stuff on their site, but I have been paying a subscription fee for a few years. I have not received and email from them about any changes yet.

You might be safe until renewal time.

I wonder how many build threads across countless enthusiast forums just became worthless?

My fear is that all these photo hosting sites are gonna pull the same trick.

This! So nice not having to use a 3rd party host. Thank you Travis!
