From the iStock forum:

Posted 48 mins ago
Regarding the images you've seen added to the Google Drive library over the past few days, I can confirm that no additional iStock content has been added since the initial batch.

Can the oldladybird confirm the total number of images added to Google Drive's stock image library?

I don't know if I've missed an answer to this, but I'm still puzzled why the kga.me site can identify the copyright holders but people are still saying that the EXIF data has been stripped when they download the images. Can anyone explain at what stage of the process the copyright info disappears? Is Google doing it, or Getty?
Getty Images supplies Google with meta data imbedded in the images. Google deletes the meta data when a user imports a thumbnail into their document.

Was sorry not to see Blend Images' name in there after the snotty response that their CEO had to Sean trying to get them involved in fighting Getty on this 
What snotty response? Is it posted somewhere? It's utterly amazing to think any stock agency (besides GI) would see this as a good thing.
I'll ask if it's OK and then I'll post here if it is - it wasn't an open forum.
I'd like to know more about that response to Sean as well. By the way, Blend Images currently has 35+ high resolution images available through Google Drive: kga.me/gds/contributor-search/blend

I don't mind at all.

The thumbnails used to link to the full size. Did you change that?
eta: Never mind, it looks like it was just the ones I was looking at. I also see meta data now listed for each image that does include, at least, the name of the contributor - for mine at least.
etaa: However, when I find the image myself on Google and download the full res, the meta is not there. Where did you find your full rez images to have ones with the meta? Are they removing it when they insert it in an application?
Yes, Google deletes all image meta data when you click the Select button or double click a thumbnail to insert the larger file into your document. To download a thumbnail with meta data... If you want a link to the thumbnail with meta data copy the url in the 'Location' field. For visual reference click on link #2 above. Here is a link to the thumbnail with meta data: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6E39j_cy4EE/ULTQ2bUBFOI/AAAAAAABr_k/vrN-Tel3ul8/h120/143919444.jpgTo get the high resolution file with meta data simply alter the thumbnail url above. Change 'h120' to 'h3200'. Here is a link to the high resolution file with meta data: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6E39j_cy4EE/ULTQ2bUBFOI/AAAAAAABr_k/vrN-Tel3ul8/h3200/143919444.jpg

In the past 2 days I have downloaded 7,000 digital files from Google Drive Stock to my computer FOR FREE! All of them are high resolution with a maximum width/height of 3200 pixels. You can browse and search through them at http://kga.me/gdsHover over a thumbnail to view additional image information: title, image number, image pixel size, contributor's name, Google search link, and a link to the high resolution file. I am absolutely disgusted by these shady online tactics to sell more images at the artists expense. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help.

Only getting it with firefox
Try deleting that cookie or all your shutterstock cookies. I think that cookie may be corrupt.

Thanks for clearing that up Biedy, I will try to do better research before posting in the forum. I'm not really accustomed to seeing the same image twice in search results. For some reason I automatically associated those search results with some kind of database script issue. Most stock image sites offer the vector and raster files together on the same page to avoid displaying duplicates within the search results. Well, at least the following ones do: 1. 1 2 3 RF 2. Can Stock Photo 3. Clipart of 4. Deposit Photos 5. Dreamstime 6. Fotolia 7. Graphic Leftovers 8. Pond 5 9. Toon Vectors 10. VEER

I haven't been selected for this yet but I must say the least they could do is help promote featured contributors by publishing their name and portfolio link along side the free image.
I'd be okay with giving an image away for personal use but if they allowed commercial use that would be crossing the line.
I would also want to know how many visitors downloaded my image.
What are the terms of use for the free images? They aren't clearly listed on the free image page: bigstockphoto.com/free-images/

Do they calculate their total number of images (18,062,076) on how many unique images they have, or by how many different download options there are for each unique image (different file types & sizes)? In other words, does this photo ( http://x.co/glW0) count as 1 or 6 images in the ShutterStock Stats?
