Flickr users

Flickr is being sold to Verizon. Not sure what this will bring, but with Verizon it probably won't be good.

If you haven’t heard, Yahoo plans to sell its operating business, including Flickr, to Verizon Communications Inc. We anticipate the completion of the transaction to occur in June 2017. Upon the completion of this proposed transaction, Yahoo products and services, including Flickr, will be provided by a new Verizon-owned company called Yahoo Holdings, Inc.

In connection with this proposed transaction, Yahoo is updating its Terms of Service. You can review the changes by visiting our Terms of Service

These updated terms will automatically be effective on June 8, 2017, unless you cancel your Yahoo account before then.

That’s it! We look forward to continuing to deliver your favorite products and services.

I gave up on Flickr at least a decade ago.

Is that why Verizon is no longer providing email after June 17 2017?

No. Just Verizon being Verizon. If they can charge the same while providing fewer services, that's what they will do.

According to the information on their web site, they are doing it (in part) to reduce their electric bill for their servers.

Thanks for the info. I've only been using it as personal storage for the last year or so, but I have a lot of history on there I guess I would like to hang on to.
