Flickr Uploadr

Social media has greatly evolved over the past several years, and is now heavily focused on multimedia sharing. However, most of them require you to rely on a web browser for every operation you want to perform. Luckily, there are various dedicated desktop utilities, such as Flickr Uploadr which let you, in this case, upload photos directly from your desktop.

A neat advantage is that you don’t even have to install the application on your computer for it to properly function. This means you can easily carry it around on a USB flash drive to upload photos from other computers as well. The target PC’s health status remains intact, because registries are not a dependency, thus not modified.

In order to gain access to the set of features, you first need to sign in with your Yahoo! account, or create one through the built-in options. Once you’re successfully logged in, a few initial steps let you pick folders you want to upload to Flickr. Unfortunately, you can’t select pictures alone, so you need to make sure nothing other than what you want to upload is found in that specific folder.

Several common locations are put at your disposal by default, such as the desktop, the pictures folder, or downloads. You’re free to add more, and even remove existing ones. When changes are confirmed, the upload process starts, and Flickr Uploadr can be minimized to the system tray, so it won’t take up any desktop space.

What’s more, you don’t have to rely on the main window to upload photos. In fact, the only thing you need to make sure is that the application is running, and your Internet connection is active, while the upload process automatically triggers once new image files are detected in the folders you select for monitoring.

Bottom line is that Flickr Uploadr lives up to expectations by providing a simple environment with which uploading pictures on Flickr becomes an easy, and effortless task. You can always start from scratch if you don’t already own a Yahoo! account. Sitting quietly in the system tray, the application lets you focus on more important activities, automatically handling photos you add to the target folder.
