Received error messages from the cloud.

[Lazy Farmer]

I deleted almost 2/3's of media last night to just upload a 800kb pic.
The cloud kept giving me error messages as well as BYC. Is there a 10 mb max?. If so, why was I allowed to upload 67 MBS before I finally received quota met notifications?
No worries.. No complaints. I have started a photo bucket account. Takes 10 times as long to illustrated but it is what it is.
Just curious, not upset...

I can't help with the cloud errors, sorry.
Can you be more specific about the error messages your were receiving here on BYC?
Possible upload a screen shot?

Never thought about screenshot! I was on the tablet that night and of would have been as simple as a single click.

I can not quote the cloud error but never the less of was bazaar to say the least.

BYC error message simply made me aware that a was way over the 10 mb quota. Almost 7 times over!
Had an explanation from aart which pretty much confirmed my suspicions about space and file size etc. aart is a gem! He helps me so much.
I have a habit of illustrating topics. So I will use photo bucket hot links for multi photo publications and use "reduced' size lower resolution photos from my BYC media files for simple shares.

Back to the cloud pop up, I first I thought it was perhaps a Trojan virus. I would close it and it popped back several times as I would retry the upload.
So I deleted my cashe and cookies etc. And proceeded to remove all the obnoxiously sized photos and albums to bring my quota below par.

"Never thought about screen shot.. I feel stupid now."

Also I would like to extend my apologies for my behavior towards you recently. I misconstrued your intentions and was not able to comprehend the situation. A lesson learned to say the least.
Anyway.. Looking forward towards a wonderful future within the BYC community.

BTW, if I get a cloud message in the near future, you can count on that souvenir snap shot!
Best regards,
Connie

Yes, more details (screenshot / copy of the error) would be great.

Yes, we have a 10mb max individual file size limit, but that's not an issue for most people since it's rare that an image is bigger than 10mb. If it is, resize the image locally first (to 2000x2000) and then upload it.

I wish I screen shot both error messages. The BYC message I thought said my file I was trying to
Load was only 800 KBS and my quota was 10 MBS. And my media was at 600 something MBS.
It is no big deal nor not trying to make a big deal about it.
The cloud was angry at me.. Haha? I never seen a cloud error before.
I hope it doesn't sound like I'm upset because it is no sweat.
I started a photo bucket account to hot link. A little slower but no worries! Really.
BTW.. Thank you for the site (BYC). It has giving me a reason to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Sharing and learning here has inspired me to take a longer peek at the wide range of benifits the site has to offer!
Best regards.
F.C.

I got an email from the other day reading important changes. Have not opened it yet. Thanks penny1960

This is the type of thing that is EXACTLY why we wish everyone hosted their pics (like coop pics, etc.) for their articles here on BYC instead of these 3rd party sites that can change the rules and/or close down at any time.

I just thought I was hogging up too much space. Just want to share, not take.
