However, I do shoot in RAW which means each photo is in the 15MB to 18MB range. I also have JPG versions of each for sharing to friends and family.
As I intimated, last year was a bit of an aberration in that I took 4,500 (actually I took far more, I kept 4,500). I'm also a nerd which mean I am shooting in RAW, editing in lightroom, require access from lots of devices.
This isn't an unreasonable request, flickr allows me to upload, store, and organize all of these photos for a mere $25/year. I'd happily pay them a bit more to give me a great way to sync a local library to their servers in a seamless and understandable way.
However, YES I want them do the same for photos coming from phones, from multiple family members. I then want to be able to curate them natively on an iPad or PC and have that be represented elsewhere. Flickr is already doing the expensive bit, I'm looking for services on the client side to pair with them.
I'm not saying that people like me are a huge market, but almost everyone is taking more photos these days and it does need to be easier for people to manage their libraries. The solution I'm asking for ALMOST exists today, but nothing is quite there.
