TOTAL REGRETS for not jumping ship when all the red flags went up I have never been this livid with a company before. I am so upset about the Zenfolio's asinine decision to stab us and our customers in the back after promising unlimited storage for our VIEWING galleries -- and archiving our galleries and making it a full-time job to unarchive them IN LIMITED #s (we get 20??? ARE YOU SERIOUS). If I wanted a worst-case backup cloud, I'd have stuck with backblaze. They are now holding our pics hostage.... we can't transfer to another service without putting in months of unarchive requests, waiting for the download link AND THEN DOWNLOADING. and their archive viewer is the worst interface I've experienced since using AOL in the 90s. I'm livid about their changes and how much it has thwarted my workflow, client perception AND my own personal photo projects as a mom who has stored 12 years of pics on Zen, and now can't see any of them, much less share them with others, download them as I need them, etc. Everyone I've talked to said it is taking days to receive unarchive requests granted....and that is only 1/4 of the elbow grease required to get our pics back. 12 years with this company just smashed to smithereens. I've never been so utterly suckerpunched by a company.... after sticking with them through all their slow AF server issues, this is how they thank us for over a decade of loyalty.

So dissatisfied I was hoping to sell… So dissatisfied I was hoping to sell prints so signed up and spent hours building a site only to find there are no print labs in europe, this is not stated before you sign up so basically a scam. I shall be chasing a full refund. Really not happy that I wasted 10 hours if my life on this. Moving to squarespace asap. Update after a lot of support I have move to a UK account so can sell in UK using UK fullfilment not ideal but a move in the right direction, some of the support staff have been very helpfull

Been a client for over 10 years and I… Been a client for over 10 years and I have no idea what I am going to do moving forward. I can't stay with Zenfolio if they are going to continue archiving galleries. They started archiving galleries, I can't access images, this is a nightmare, you can only set so many galleies that won't archive overtime. This is NOT what I signed up for! Everything I like about Zenfolio is now gone.

Their archiving process is a disaster… My website hosted by Zenfolio right now is broken all over the place: galeries disappeared, collections broken, most of my blog posts lost their pictures and are now empty! I tried to "restore" all of the galleries with blog images more than 1 week ago, and the pictures are still missing! When this was going to be implemented, we were promised that all pictures used in blog and active galleries would not be archived, well that was apparently not true. We were told that galleries could be retrieved within 12 to 24 hours... another lie, it takes weeks, if it ever happens!!! Whoever came up with this didn't not really understand how photographers do business. The archiving process should ONLY archive galleries/pictures which haven't been accessed (viewed) by a customer for more than 2 years. The current implementation is completely stupid, I bet most photographers on Zenfolio are now are trying to unarchive archived galleries because: #1 their website is broken #2 customers can't access their galleries That's sad because I have been with Zenfolio for more than 14 years, and I won't renew with them after this fiasco.

Zenfolio is a SCAM I unfortunately have the same issue everyone else with negative reviews is having. absolutely unacceptable! I have already switched my services to another platform, but it's going to be a major pain reuploading galleries from the past 2 years. I was with Zenfolio for over 10 years and all of my galleries are GONE! unarchiving does not work. So frustrating. It feels illegal. We paid for a service and we should get the service we paid for. What a SCAM.
