Users are now complaining that Photobucket will not allow any access to the stored images until the $400 fee is paid, and are throwing around words like "extortion," "blackmail," and "ransom" in comments about the sudden change in the company's terms.

Hi Frankie

I feel, as do many others, that Photobucket is holding us to ransom. No warning, No options. They have even been twisted with the subscription. They will not let people purchase 1 month. They have to pay for a whole year up front.

These practices should not be rewarded.

Photobucket is RANSOMWARE.

They suck.....I deleted my pictures and I'm moving on. Since I already have a Yahoo account for fantasy football I'll try flickr. What about Google drive or Amazon drive do they work for third party?
