About the Auto-Uploadr (Flickr app)

This feature is available to Flickr Pro’s only.

When you upgrade to Pro, you get access to our Auto-Uploadr tool which automatically uploads all of your photos & videos from your mobile device to a private folder on Flickr. 

What gets uploaded?

  • Only items from your device's default photo & video folder will be uploaded.
  • Only unique items that haven't been uploaded before get backed-up.
     
    • Transferring photos from an old phone to a new phone can cause duplication as the Uploadr sees them as new items.
    • Keep in mind, if you edit and save over the original image on your device, it may upload it as a new image. Edits may include: Editing the image within a third-party app, rotating the image, resizing the image.
       
  • Items that meet our upload requirements listed here

Note: Content is only uploaded from your device to Flickr. It does not sync both ways.
