So here we’re going to discuss how to use its basic functions to upload, store, and organize your photos into Albums that can be shared with Collectionaire.įirst you'll want to set your photo permissions on Flickr so that they're not set for public viewing. Like many others, Flickr caters to the amateur and professional, so there are some features that we don’t need and don’t really want.

Flickr is one such web app, and it's one we use, especially for older photos that we've scanned and need to upload to create Albums. There are dozens of excellent photo management sites to store and manage photos. Storing and Managing Your Photos Using Flickr For some, especially for pre-digital periods where you've scanned photos but not added dates, this is a great feature. On the other hand, with Flickr you can upload one folder at a time into your camera roll and create an identical cloud-based folder as the one on your computer. This is because both Google and Apple Photos reorganize by date in the cloud and you may lose this present organization. After February 5, 2019, free accounts that contain over 1,000 photos or videos will have content actively deleted - starting from oldest to newest date uploaded - to meet the new limit.įlickr is still a great photo management site, especially if you've already organized your photos into 'folders' in your computer and if you are not certain that their order/sequence would remain intact if put in chronological order. After January 8, 2019, members over the limit will no longer be able to upload new photos to Flickr. *Free members with more than 1,000 photos or videos uploaded to Flickr have until Tuesday, January 8, 2019, to upgrade to Pro or download content over the limit. Please see this link for more info on this.

Because of this, Collectionaire suggests amateurs use Google Photos or iCloud Photos for their personal cloud photo storage. It previously allowed an almost unlimited free storage of photos for amateurs. Important Update for Flickr Free Users - November 2018įlickr is changing.
