How is a Flickr Gallery Different than Favorites, Sets and Collections?

Last Updated :

Flickr is not a cloud storage service. It is a photo-sharing website where you can capture photos and videos to share with others. It allows you to organize photos into 'Albums' which is also known as 'Sets' and 'Albums' are organized into 'Collections'. 'Collections' are just groups of sets. Flickr allows you to put several sets together into one group. Flickr 'Favorites' are ongoing stream of photos which you like. Favorites are an easy way to mark a photo that you like. You can also create Galleries in your Flickr account. You can bring up to 50 photos or videos in one Gallery. To create a Gallery, go to a photo or video which you want to add. Click 'Add to a Gallery' link located in the More menu. This is how you can create a new gallery or add the photo to an existing one.

You can install PicBackMan's Flickr uploader for Mac from the website and start backing up photos and videos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
