Why Backup Flickr to Dropbox?

Share Photos and Collaborate in Dropbox

Flickr is more like a social media rather than a typical cloud drive service. You can get a great online photo album sharing experience by setting the privacy of photos and videos stored on Flickr. However, if you want to store and share your photos in a safer way, you’d better backup Flickr photos to Dropbox before sharing. Because Dropbox enables you to share photos with different levels of permission while collaborating with your team after moving your Flickr photos to Dropbox shared folder.

Backup and Store Flickr Photos and Other Files Together in Dropbox

Flickr only allows you to upload photos and videos to it up to 1000 pieces, and you could only upload each photo with 200 MB and each video with 1 GB. But Dropbox sets no limitation on file uploading while offering you 2 GB to 18 GB (after inviting your friends to register) free storage. You may still have to store some of your photos and videos in Dropbox when the storage of your Flickr account is already crowded.

So, why don’t you back up photos and videos from Flickr to Dropbox so as to gather all your photos, videos, documents, and other files together for better cloud file management? Please continue reading to learn how to backup photos from Flickr to Dropbox and also achieve Flickr Dropbox integration easily.

As the newest feature released recently by MultCloud, Cloud Backup can help you backup files like documents, pictures, videos, and others from one cloud to another directly.

You can choose one of the versions to restore to the source directory or a new directory with simple steps.

Step 2: Click "Options" and "Schedule" to choose settings about your backup task if you need them.

Step 3: Click "Backup Now" and MultCloud will run the Cloud Backup task immediately. Then you can close the website or shut down your device since MultCloud supports offline backup.

Solution 2. Backup Data from Flickr to Dropbox by "Cloud Transfer"

Cloud Transfer can also help you make backup from Flickr to Dropbox especially if you only want to backup once. Because you are not able to store different versions of backup in this way, but there's no limit to the number of adding files in Cloud Transfer. What's more, you can choose the actions about how to treat the source files when you want to transfer Flickr to Dropbox.

Step 1: Enter the “Cloud Transfer” page, and select Flickr as the source and Dropbox as the destination. You can also select photos, videos, or folders under Flickr as the source and a folder in Dropbox as the destination.

Step 2: Choose "Options" and "Schedule" if you need to backup photos and videos from Flickr to Dropbox.

Step 3: Click “Transfer Now”. Then the backup task will be operated by MultCloud.

Solution 3. Backup from Flickr to Dropbox by “Copy to”

This function is similar to Cloud Transfer that it is also suitable for one-time backing up. But by using the "Copy to" function, you can back up Flickr to more than one destination at a time without additional options and schedules.

Step 1: Open your Flickr account in MultCloud.

Step 2: Tick the box in front of the photos, videos, or folders you want to back up to Dropbox.

Step 3: Click “Copy to” in the feature bar above.

Step 4: Choose the destination of your backup in the pop-up window. Then click “OK” and the backup will be successfully copied from Flickr to Dropbox. 

Solution 4. Backup Flickr to Dropbox by "Cloud Sync"

Apart from backing up Flickr to Dropbox through the above three methods, you can also use Cloud Sync to back up and sync Flickr to Dropbox. Cloud Sync can help you sync files from one cloud to another no matter in one-way or two-way with 10 multifunctional sync modes.

What’s more, considering that there will be a lack of cloud storage after frequently backing up, you’d better try Incremental Sync mode with a premium MultCloud account.

After the first time to backup across clouds, the Incremental Sync mode will only backup the added and modified files from the source cloud to the target cloud instead of backing up all the files again. In this way, backing up from Flickr will not repeatedly take up storage space in your Dropbox account anymore.

Step 1: Enter the “Cloud Sync” page in MultCloud.

Step 2: Follow step 1 in solution 2 to locate the source and destination of your backup task.

Step 3: Click the “Options” button and select “Incremental Sync” in the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Click “Save” in the pop-up window and click “Sync Now” in the main interface. Then MultCloud will sync Flickr with Dropbox at once.

Conclusion

As shown above, the 4 optimum methods can help you to backup Flickr to Dropbox easily, safely, and of course, quickly without wasting any time and effort. Actually, it would be best if you could use the above methods to move files between cloud services as long as you add those clouds to MultCloud.

Besides backing up files like photos and documents through clouds, you could also use MultCloud to share Dropbox folder and file with its Public Share, Private Share, and Source Share functions.
