Title: Download your own vectors? Shutterstock
Post by: mxjr on April 07, 2016, 10:00: I've been searching for hours for an option to download some of my own vectors because I lost the source and I couldn't find any.
I assume the only option is to buy them back. Is there some terms of use against it?
I'd really want to get them back because I wasn't able to throw them on the other agencies and they are "exclusive" to Shutterstock.

It's very boring and time consuming to back up. But it's worthy! I do the same system with more than one HHD. But there are other automated alternatives, like building a NAS.
