Upload photos to flickr even after upload limit ?

Posted on 20. Aug, 2006 by Sankaranand in Tutorials

You all know about Flickr one of the online photo sharing site which i use to upload all my family photos occasionally. Due to its very low upload limit of 20 mb per month i have to resize my pics in Picasa and have to upload it.

Lastweek i scanned new sets of our Goa tour photos and tried to upload all of them but unforunately i could only upload 3/4 of them. The upload limit is over and it requests me to upgrade for a pro account. Still 7 photos are remaining and i never thought that my uploading limit would complete this quick. So for an alternative back-up i uploaded all my photos in Picasa web Album which does not have a transfer limit but a storage limit of 250 mb.

After reading Ionut’s post regarding upload pictures from Picasa to Flickr, i got an inspiration and thought for a while that uploading photos from picasa to flickr via mail would make my work easier. So to try out that method, i just selected a photo and clicked the email button then by entering my flickr email address i successfully sent the mail. Now i navigated to my flickr photos list and i could see the photo which i sent by mail.

Ok that method works cool but wonder why i am posting about it ? Yeah see the title “Upload photos to flickr even after upload limit” hmmm see, i told you my upload limit is over but i could still able to upload my pics via email to flickr. i sent 7 pics after my upload limit got over and still able to send pics to flickr.

Is that Interesting ? Why dont you try and tell me if it works for you ?
