That is where I would differ . Sub $50 a year for what amounts to data storage and a pretty handy back end that deals with plate solving and annotation plus a forum and image feed is not a "Professional" service in my eyes.

I really only ever used it as a handy place to host images for display elsewhere, with the peripheral benefit of plate solving and the ability to search out equipment. If I wanted or expected it to be a secure backup site I would expect to be paying a lot more to use it, and I would keep my own backups anyway.

I can however say I am writing this comfortable in the knowledge that everything I uploaded I still have on my PC and I could have rebuilt my gallery from my files in an hour or so if I had to. My only broken image I didn't bother with re uploading as it was a nothing image anyway.
