DedupeHow to Use Flickr for Creating Backup of Your Photos?
Last Updated :Modern digitization in the field of photography has resulted in lesser number of people printing their photos. Rather, nowadays people are more interested in saving their photos on their PCs or laptops for future use. The general trend today is to save the images on some cloud storage facility available.
There are a variety of options available on the net. One of these is Flickr. Flickr enables its users to host their images and pictures on the net thereby preventing any accidental losses due to any problems in the PCs or laptops. Flickr is essentially an image as well as image hosting site that allows the user to store their photos online. It provides an online storage capacity of 1 TB which is among the highest available in the market. Even if you are not professional photographer this much storage capacity in the cloud is more than sufficient for your entire lifetime.
How to use it?
Flickr is a effectively a better photo storage service as compared to other facilities that are available online. It has browser based uploader that is not quite suitable for uploading photos in bulk. However, there are a number of software tools available to do that. For uploading an image with the help of Flickr just follow the steps give below:- Download and install Flickr app.
- Create an account on Flickr by providing the necessary details and then login to your account.
- You will see a camera icon in the bottom of your screen. Tap it.
- A dialogue box will pop up from where you can browse to the folders where your images are kept.
- Upload the desired image or images.
- Alternatively, you can drag the images that you want to upload and drop them in the Flickr folder on your PC.
- Lastly add a group name and your batch of images will be uploaded.
Flickr also provides a scheduler that goes by the name of Flickr Scheduler. This tool enables the users to schedule the uploading of their images and videos. However, if you are wishing to upload as many as 100 and 1000 photos then it may get stuck in between. This issue can be solved by using a third party desktop application which enables you to upload images in bulk. One such application is Bulkr.

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.
