FAQs Related to Moving Flickr Album Photos

Can I move photos to another Flickr user's album?

Yes, Flickr allows moving photos between albums belonging to any Flickr user as long as the destination album permissions allow adding photos.

Will the photo URLs change when moved between albums?

No, the URLs or web links of moved photos remains the same even when you move the photos across albums.

You need to be the owner of photos OR have admin access to the album to be able to move photos from it. For destination album, you need "add photo" permission.

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.
