What does the DropBox feature do?

It let's you download bought images from Fotolia directly to your Dropbox account.

Opt out for all subscriptions!
Which micro agencies, which actually sell, let you do that?

Currently no one, so far I know. Last year it was still possible in Fotolia... good old times. ;)

For me it would be better to have ability adding some files to DPC (but some , not all). Everyone have some files with 0 sales after over 12 month. It could give oportunity to sell them with lower price.

This is exactly what I would like to see as well.  That, better commissions, and a higher minimum buy in.

I'm amazed to see some of the big collections are still on DPC.
Pressmaster, Syda Productions, olly ...

I'll make sure next time when buy images they are not on DPC and are not from contributors who support DPC!

Thanks Fairplay! It's Fairplay!!!

Looks like I'm blocked from posting anything else on the Dollar Bin's Facebook page.  Gee, I guess they didn't like something I said.   ;)

Well maybe all the contributors here can go flood the fracking FB page with lots of disgruntled comments.

I'm furious with the "ooh top quality photos for $1" comments

TELL IT LIKE IT IS OLEG IT'S A FRACKING DOLLAR BIN!!!! >:(

Go on.
I'm already blocked as well :)

I wasn't rude I was just pointing out the fact that most image copyright holders don't know about their work being offered under completely new conditions.

I've just posted a calm comment basically saying buyer beware - there will be far fewer images in a few weeks time

Looking at the page, they've left some comments there about the boycott - that were made to a buyer-initiated topic. I assume the page moderators didn't notice...

The other thing is there are several complaints that the site doesn't say clearly that VAT is added to the price making it $1.20 per photo, not $1. DPC replied that this was standard but buyers felt it should have been made more clear up front.

The other thing I noticed is that there are several complaints about problems logging in or signing up:

I notice that the comment count on lots of posts is a lot higher than the visible comments - I assume because they've been deleted by staff?

Yes, a lot of deleting have been going on. That's where comment counts show bigger number.

"I'm furious with the "ooh top quality photos for $1" comments"


What infuriates me are the "ooh, can we make prints of somebody else's photos and sell them?"

is it part of the T&C that FT can use images for their own advertising without crediting the photographer, or a little watermark? clearly paying for the use is ludicrous, but perhaps offering a link to the photographer's portfolio would be polite?

I can't find any relevant agreement/contract/T&C on this page which allegedly lists "all their agreements":
http://en.fotolia.com/Info/Agreements
And I don't see them allowing themselves to help themselves to images for advertising in their T&C:
