Photobucket - Reviews and experiences

I had a really bad time trying to pay for my subscription on this photo storage site. They sent me an email saying they would delete all my photos and videos if I didn't pay up. I was suspicious at first, so I checked the email to make sure it wasn't a scam, then I went to the website. When I logged in, they only gave me two payment options and I couldn't access any of my stuff. Even though I picked a plan and paid, they told me my account was already deactivated. I lost all my pictures and videos, and it was a super frustrating and disappointing experience. I felt like I got ripped off and I'm not happy about it.

I've been using this platform for a while now, and I'm really disappointed with the way things are going. I keep getting emails threatening to delete my photos because they don't support free accounts anymore. Trying to get my photos back has been a total nightmare. The steps to stop the deletion don't even seem to work - I can't even log in half the time. It looks like you have to pay to get your account back, download your files, and actually delete your account. Good thing I had all my files saved somewhere else, so I didn't lose anything. There are way better options out there than this platform, and I really hope nobody feels forced to give them any money in the future.

I was totally caught off guard when my account got shut down out of the blue, no heads up or anything from the service. I was so annoyed and let down because I couldn't get into my account stuff without shelling out some cash. Really bummed out by how Photobucket dealt with this mess, didn't seem to care about us customers at all.
