if you are planning to purge free accounts - do not expect any appreciation or loyalty

Filed under: internet

I once used zoto (i do not give the link intentionally because i do not want to recommend this service) as a platform for photo sharing. It worked decently (not perfectly, but decently) and gave a lot of space for a free account.
One sunny day, they decided they cannot handle free accounts any more. They also said, that the photos can be downloaded and a way to do it will be published. Guess what, it never was. I even sent an email asking how to do it, and no answer arrived. Furthermore, my photos are not on the site any more.
The bottom line is - why will i ever pay them? Why? My bottom line is: do not use zoto.
Update: a comment was left by zoto employee which says they provide a way to download the photos. I’ll contact them and see what will happen.

  1. Hi, I work at Zoto and I just read this. I’m not sure what has happened. We do provide a way for users to download their photos. Please contact us and we can provide a zip file for you to download your photos.
