So I logged into my photobucket account and it tells me that I have used 100 % of my free storage.
It also keeps asking me to verify my email address,which I do,but it just keeps on asking me the same thing over and over.
But when I go to my Outlook and try to send the verification it wont work and just says that my message has been rejected.
Anyhow what I would like to do is to move my Photobucket pictures to my iCloud account but I cant figure out how to do that.
Can any one here help me out with this ??
Thanks
Guy

My old PC has Vista on it and Photobucket is just bonkers when I try to use it. My new PC has Windows10 and Photobucket works much better. It still wants me to log in repeatedly and buy more storage. I resist and just delete lots of old pics. I also get away with using the pics on here with no repercussions anymore from them. Good thing because I still have loads of these goodies......

I was just looking into similar so that I can dump them, I have to wait until I get home to give this a shot but seems that a lot of people have gone this route. Stick it to Photobucket

Seems to be the up to date method:
  1. Make a folder on your desktop called 'photobucket' - all lowercase
  2. Open a text editor ( i used text wrangler) and paste the links from the above instructions from the photobucket Link in to the text editor (try one photbucket folder first). If the Link won't copy it's because your browser may have pop-ups etc disabled, so turn that off for a moment while you do this - I had to turn off 1Blocker for example
  3. Save the text file as a text file (!) named photobucket_files.txt , make sure you use that underscore character & make sure you save it IN the photobucket folder you've made on your desktop
  4. Select all the command above after step 10 - you'll need to scroll down and sideways to make sure you select ALL the commands, then press command & C to copy all that to your clipboard...
  5. Open your Mac Terminal ,from the Utilities folder and paste (Command & V) in those commands...
  6. Press Return/enter and you should see the downloads start... you can see them in Finder in that photobucket folder as they complete
 
I got rid of photobucket I while back because it was so difficult most of the time. Good luck to you.
 
The other day i just right clicked a picture and downloaded it just fine, which surprised me with the way these guys lock your pictures up. Of course that was after entering my e-mail 3 different times for verification. Never got a verification email but it let me in anyway.

I'm interested to try mclellans suggestion
