Hey guys,

We're making some important changes to puush and want to inform you of how it will affect our service.

When we first conceived puush in 2010, we wanted to create a straightforward way to help us quickly share what was on our screens. Soon after, we extended puush to allow us to throw small files around too. Since then, we’ve seen a massive uptake and tremendous support from our users. The problem is that a tremendous majority of puushes aren’t being accessed again after 24 hours - in fact, only 10% of puushes are accessed after a month.

puush to us is a quick way to share things. puush is not a data warehouse.

We do not wish to become a file locker, file storage or backup service. There are plenty of other solutions out there that do a much better job of this (e.g. Dropbox), so what we want to do is this:

    Stop offering permanent storage, and files will expire after not being accessed for:
        Free users: 1 month
        Pro users: up to 6 months
    Remove the 200mb limit for free users
    Offer an optional Dropbox “sync” for pro users (i.e. automatically save a copy to dropbox)


How this will affect you after the 1st of August 2013:

    You will no longer have an account storage limits. Feel free to puush as much as you want!
    We are going to start expiring files. At this point, any files which haven't been recently viewed by anyone will be automatically deleted after 1 month, or up to 6 months for pro users.
    If you wish to grab a copy of your files before this begins, you can download an archive from your My Account page (Account -> Settings -> Pools -> Export).


As an example, if you have puush'd images which are being used on a forum, as long as that thread is visited at least once a month (or up to 6 months as a pro user) your files will always be accessible.

We have some more awesome changes coming to our service in the near future! If you have any questions about these changes, don't hesitate to contact us at support@puush.me.

For those interested in switching across to pro, we have made the payment options available again here.

Regards,
The puush team

tl;dr puush is no longer storing images permanently. if you're a free user any image on your account that hasn't been viewed in a month will be deleted. on the bright side though you can now puush an infinite amount of images, and they'll stay for a month.


great, now i have to find another image host


RIP Puush

~You were my best friend~

There's an imgur addon?

Shieeet.

these along with

these

when you first take a picture 1 it will be bound to shift alt and the number, you can change those and the first time you take a picture you will have to set it and set it to auto upload and direct link for imgur

Thanks, Nal.

Also, didn't puush start doing that a long time ago?

Got no issue with this. I use puush to send things to my friends so they only get a few views so it doesnt even matter.

Thanks, Nal.

the only disadvantages are from puush is
1. It uploads to clipboard after the sound unlike puush it copies immidiately
2. It's kinda slow at time
3. it crashes (occasionally)

I just use Snipping tool + imgur uploader :o

wow, screencloud looks better

stuff, now I'll have to stop using Puush to upload images on the forum. To screencloud, away!

I was scared, I thought maybe they were taking the service away for free users. Thank god.

Thanks, Nal.

Yeah, they sent out the notification by email at least a month ago.
