It seems as if I have uncovered a Kodak secret (it was for me anyways). The terms of service have changed as of March 13th for their online storage site: kodakgallery.com formally known as Ofoto. While this affects previous users who were told it was totally free, and new members. There is a notice on the site at the bottom right of the main page, so it's warning isn't totally secret.
Now on to the actual changes. There is a mandatory minimum purchase of 4.99 a year for users. While users with more than 2 GB of disk space used must spend at least 19.99 a year. You ask what are the penalties? I quote: "If you do not meet the applicable minimum purchase requirement, your photos may be deleted." Now be careful, you can't rush this purchase and think everything is fine. You must ensure your purchase is in your "Kodak Imaging Network" cart and not another cart from a 3rd party meshed with Kodak services (ex: photostamps).
Thats not all folks, you better log on once every two months, because they may delete your account. Aww, so nice of them. They also delete your videos thirty days after you upload them, period.
If I convinced you to sign up... have fun.
