Eshin Direct

I am a fan of Flickr but one of the nagging gripes I had about the service was that it was a lovely Herculean task to try and upload my photos. I was simply unable to just drop a folder with photos¹ in the Flickr Uploader and let it upload away. It would always fail to upload all the files and it would need constant attention²

With the release of 3.0, I’m quite a happy bunny as I can now upload in fire-and-forget mode and am comforted that I don’t have to wait and supervise the upload of my images to backup. Unfortunately my MacBook fell ill and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to recover two memory card worth of photos. Luckily I have the high quality JPEGs but it is still upsetting to lose the RAW files.

Now, I no longer have to wonder about whether the 300-400 photos, constituting approximately 1 GB made it to Flickr. And, I’m up to date now as I have all my photos on Flickr³.

1. Approximately 3-4 MB in size each [↩]
2. To be fair, it could have been my Macs but both being unable to sustain an upload? I don’t think so. [↩]
3. Yes, yes, I will make some more public eventually. [↩]
