![]() Perhaps PhotoDrive – or something like it – is becoming a Flickr product? We can only hope. “If you liked my products, I think you’ll love what’s up next.” “Managing a life’s worth of photos is a big task, and I’m thrilled to be tackling this with the talent and scale of Yahoo,” writes Bargmann.

In fact, TechCrunch had covered both of his two earlier mobile apps, Photoful and PhotoSocial. So technically speaking, PhotoDrive was still in testing at the time Yahoo snapped him up.īargmann has had an extensive history rethinking how consumers can interact with their now numerous digital photos. However, when March rolled around, he told us he was still working on “settling some things” before a more public launch. Bargmann was then targeting a spring release, he said. PhotoDrive first came across my radar in January when it was still in beta. However, instead of building out his own cloud storage platform for his latest creation, PhotoDrive instead let you tap into the 1TB of free storage offered by Flickr. This one-man startup machine had earlier impressed us with his mobile apps and newer photo uploading service, which worked something like Dropbox (or the recent Dropbox acquisition Loom) to provide you with an “infinite Camera Roll” of sorts. PhotoDrive, a fantastic photo uploading service powered by Flickr, is being shut down – but that’s because its founder, Jeff Bargmann, is now joining Flickr, as it turns out.
