Before, free accounts were limited to uploading just 50 photos every month. Going forward, free accounts get 2 GB of fixed storage for uploads. This means free users are no longer constrained to an arbitrary monthly limit and instead get more flexibility with a 2 GB bucket to play around with. Although it isn’t a great deal in the wider market (Google gives free users 5 GB of storage for instance), it will no doubt be appreciated by customers in the Adobe ecosystem....
