This week, Flickr announced that they are taking away one of the key “free” functions: the ability to auto upload photos from your computer directly to Flickr. Now you need to sign up for a “pro” account for access to the same function.
Now, we don’t have much to complain about: they still give you a free terabyte of “free” storage, and the new interface is slick. But when I heard the news, it made me realize: do not trust or put all your eggs in these “free” online services.
Why?
First of all, any of these companies have the power (and right) to change any of their terms and conditions at any time. If tomorrow Yahoo announced that they are shutting down Flickr, there is nothing we can do about it.
I highly recommend Flickr to all my photography students but, as the article says, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. And, if you are looking for a Flickr batch uploader without having to pay for a Flickr Pro account, I’ve used F-Stop for years.
So, time to make money, eh?
I can hear Marissa Meyer saying, “Pull your weight, or die.”
…or you can batch upload without a pro account by going to https://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/

It is a testament to how awesome Flickr was that Flickr still remains one of the best platform agnostic photo sharing sites around. Amazing that after, holy crap, over a decade of Yahoo ownership and nearly complete stagnation, Flickr still leads.
Shawn, I’d also like to introduce you and your reader to Zilla http://www.zillaupload.com – a super fast Flickr uploader that is available all Flickr users and they can use Zilla for all Flickr upload needs without having to upgrade to the paid account. Please take a look and I’d love to hear your feedback.
