Does anyone use Flickr

I used it once when I was nervous about being away from home (without my external hard drive) and loosing all of the photos we were taking at Disney. But I only used it for those pictures so I didn't renew when my subscription was up. Now I have Carbonite and really like it since everything including my digi stash is backed up.
 
I have a pro account with Flickr only really use it for posting pre-release CT LOs as somewhere to pick up their URL from. I certainly don't put all my photos on - this would take HOURS, also, I'm a little worried by the public nature of it all and the fact that it's very easy for anyone else to download your image as protecting the image seems not to be the default setting. Just last week I posted a photo of my daughter in her new school uniform and had to hunt around to find the "friends & family only" button.
 
I also have a pro account, but I really only use it for CT lo's as a jumping off point to put the lo's on Facebook. I use Carbonite for my main photo and digi stash backup on my PC, and Time Machine for my Mac. You can set a privacy setting on Flickr if you use it for photo storage, but ITA wih the prior poster that it's not the most intuitive setting and you have to really work at it to be sure it's set to private.
