- `storage/flickr` | fails-quota | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category media
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-03T15:04:38.758Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://www.flickr.com
- free tier: Free: at most 1,000 items, of which at most 50 may be non-public. Pro (paid): unlimited storage, full-res uploads with no monthly cap; $11 per month, $82 per year or $148 per two years in domestic USD (third-party price report). | unit: objects | metered on: object-count | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Free and unmetered for public images (staticflickr.com CDN). Non-public content on free accounts is capped at 50 and at risk of deletion, so egress is real only for public photos. | metered: no
- identity: email
- interface: rest, rclone
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 1,000 items in total; 50 non-public items [1]
- limits note: 1,000 items; 50 non-public items; free accounts limited to Safe content.
- binding note: the free plan stops at 1,000 items (50 non-public); an item count with no byte figure, so the nearest kind is volume-quota
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Flickr API (OAuth1), flickr-sync; no native rclone backend; ShareX and Lightroom publish plugins.
- composes with: Unlimited free accounts x 1,000 items. This is a per-record cap, not a byte cap — but 1,000 items x 200 MB max = ~200 GB/account at absolute best, and item 1,001 is deleted.
- reliability: Enforcement is real and documented: over-limit accounts are suspended or have content deleted. Pro is required for any bulk use.
- notes: FREE TIER IS 1,000 ITEMS, NOT 1 TB. The famous 1 TB was killed on 2019-01-08. Free = 1,000 photos/videos total, of which max 50 may be non-public. Pro (paid) = unlimited storage, full-res, no monthly cap.
- evidence note: the 2026-11-03 read covered the Flickr free-account limits article (the Flickr help article on free-account limits and enforcement on www.flickrhelp.com: 1,000 items, 50 non-public, suspension or deletion over the limits) and the plan-selection page (https://www.flickr.com/registration/plan-selection: Pro with no monthly cap); the Pro price is from a third-party page, https://www.toolsurf.com/flickr-pricing-2026/
