Why Transfer Photos from OneDrive to Flickr?

Copy Photos from OneDrive to Flickr

Microsoft OneDrive is a popular cloud storage service that allows you to backup and sync files like photos, videos, and documents online via websites, desktop applications, and mobile applications. It provides a free 5 GB of free storage space for storing your data and offers basic sharing features for you to share photos online with other OneDrive users individually by adding email addresses or sending sharing links.

Flickr is also a famous old photo storing and sharing service that allows you to upload up to 1000 pieces of photos and videos for free. But a free Flickr user can only upload less than 200 MB per photo and 1 GB per video. However, similar to other social media, Flickr offers different viewing permissions for you to set up with your photos, videos, or albums so that your friends, family, and other Flickr users can view the content according to the permissions.

If you have a large demand for storing and sharing photos and videos online, it would be best if you could learn how to move OneDrive photos to Flickr.

Store Photos Online with Better Order

As a well-known file-sharing service, Flickr provides different areas to exhibit your photos and videos that contain different information so that you can find the one you want easier than using OneDrive.

Better Photo Sharing Experience

After the OneDrive to Flickr transfer, you don’t need to share photos individually with specific links anymore. Because Flickr provides a better way to show your photos and videos with one person or a group of people according to your needs. Flickr even allows strangers to view your shared photos (with permission of “Public view”) so that you can make friends and join groups easily.

How to Transfer Photos from OneDrive to Flickr: 2 Different Ways

Neither OneDrive nor Flickr offers any direct way to transfer files between cloud storage services. If you want to migrate OneDrive photos to Flickr successfully, there are two different easy ways for you to choose from, including one manual method and an efficient method.

Traditional Way: How to Move Photos from OneDrive to Flickr by Downloading and Uploading

If you have enough local storage to temporarily store the photos and videos that you want to transfer from OneDrive to Flickr, you can download photos from OneDrive and then re-upload them to Flickr manually. But this method would be annoying if you have lots of photos and videos waiting to be transferred. Because the process would be very possible to let you wait for an endless time and cause some trouble.

Step 1. Log in to the OneDrive website with your personal OneDrive or OneDrive for Business account.

Step 2. Select the photos, videos, or a folder and click the “Download” button above. Then wait for your browser to download the photos as a zip file to the browser folder.

Step 4. Click the cloud icon above, then drag and drop the downloaded photos and videos to the Flickr interface. Or you can click the “Choose photos and videos to upload” button to upload the downloaded photos through the pop-up window.
