Flickr as offsite backup

Opinion

Looking for a place offsite to store your valuable files but don’t want to pay exorbitant fees to an online backup service? Use Flickr. But that’s just for photos, you say. Not when you use readily-available stenography tools to hide data files in your photos. Keith McDuffee provides the how-to details here. Currently, Flickr does not put storage limits on its $24.95/year Pro accounts, but McDuffee hopes users don’t get carried away with his idea, leading to storage limits.

As you browse Flickr photos though, you’ll be wondering, is that just a picture of a dog or is it someone’s Microsoft Money data file too?
