Flickr 1 TB : Is there any upload restriction for FREE users

There is a lot of buzz generated by the recent overhaul of Flickr. Many including myself were surprised by the 1TB storage. We all know what 1 Terra byte means in simple terms it means you can keep lakhs of high-resolution photos. Isn’t it great! And the icing is that it’s for both free and paid users, no distinction on this front by Flickr. Now people are wondering if there any catch on this? Well, there is some like ads and no ads, but its quite obvious and we are not going into that. Most people are confused, particularly FREE users who earlier could only upload 200 MB a month, people want to know is there any condition like that. Good news is, it’s not. You can upload at least 200 GB a month, which is out of imagination.
We also tested it at our end with our own product PicBackMan, we uploaded around 400 MB to a free account and it got uploaded. Earlier it wouldn’t because of 300 MB limitation. So its great news to happen for all the Flickr lovers who want to keep thousand (and why only thousands, you can keep millions) of photos to Flickr, which earlier they couldn’t have.

Let’s see how it goes, for now, it does sound interesting and I am for it. So enjoy uploading without any restriction whatsoever, both FREE and PAID users.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.

Great tool for enduring your photos are always safely backed up. I backed up tens of thousands of photos and dozens of videos to Flickr in my 1st couple of months using PicBackMan. Would unreservedly recommend as it works seamlessly and copies your photos to Flickr in sets which reflect your folders.

This is a fantastic piece of software! I wanted to backup 100+ gigs worth of original sized photos to Flickr and after trying many many tools, PickBacMan was the one that finally worked. It worked flawlessly for 10 straight days uploading all my photos without a single error/ timeout/ crash. Absolutely amazing! I didn't try the other premium features but the ability to replicate stuff across multiple...
