DedupeHow to Fix Upload Issues with Flickr Mobile App?
Last Updated :
You can upload photos and videos to Flickr using Auto-Uploadr or uploading them manually. You can use the given steps to fix upload issues with the Flickr app, whether you are using Auto-Uploadr or manually.
Here are the steps to Fix Upload Issues with Flickr Mobile App:
Update the Flickr app: Make sure that you are using the upgraded or current version of Flickr app. If not, then go to your device's app store and upgrade it.
Update your Operating System: Make sure to update your device's operating system. Because, Flickr works best on the current version of mobile device operating systems.
Use a Stable Connection: If you are using low quality internet connection, then you will cause the upload issues. So make sure to use a stable and best quality internet connection. If you are having an issue on mobile data then use a Wi-Fi connection (or vise versa). If you are using Auto-Uploadr, then update your settings to use both Wi-Fi and Cellular connection.
Don't Access Flickr from Other Mobile Devices: During the upload process, if you try to access Flickr from another mobile device, then it can interrupt the upload stream.
Enable Background Refresh (iOS only): Background Refresh on iOS helps Flickr upload content while the app is not front and center. To enable Background Refresh, tap "Settings" app on your iOS device > "General" : "Background App Refresh". Move the slider from left to right to turn ON "Background App Refresh". Locate "Flickr" and then slide the toggle to the right.
Keep the app open (iOS Only): Keep your Flickr app open while uploading your photos and videos. You can use other apps while Flickr is uploading, but if you "Quit" Flickr app, then it can not upload your photos and videos. Do not double-press the device's "Home Button" and swipe up on Flickr.
Interact with the app regularly (iOS Only): If you are planning to leave Flickr in the background indefinitely, then make sure to open the Flickr app once a day and interact with it for a few minutes. Keep Videos under 1GB: Flickr has the upload limit for a video file i.e 1GB. So make sure your videos are smaller in size.

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!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
