doesn’t surprise me, this is the same company that held their free tier hostage when they decided to remove it by threatening the users that if they wanted their photos back they needed to buy their premium.
I get an email about once or twice a month telling me to recover my photos before their gone. This has been going on for the last year.
I’d like to message them to request access to my own data, I just haven’t gotten around to ir. I think they’ve been giving out a free trial for those that ask.
I finally looked deeper into this. If you follow the steps for account deletion, there’s a button at step 3 to request a download link to your content.
I ended up finding a way to delete the login/subscription window which gave access to the UI as if I was a premium member, I laughed, downloaded my photos and then deleted my account. Glad to see they at least have a link now
