Update: I've started the process of removing all my Photobucket of mostly Firebird pictures to a home PC file. Photobucket is now a struggle to use. Each picture has to be opened there, saved and then deleted individually while enduring an endless barrage of pop-up ads and messages. I suppose if you don't pay their huge recurring fees, they are going to make it miserable to even be there.
If Photobucket is considered a cloud-like service, I think I'll continue to stay out of the clouds.
