Download Your Flickr Files

I found this software program today: FlickrDown. This is amazing stuff! I have about 2,000 photos and videos on Flickr, and wanted to make a backup of my stuff there. Unfortunately, Flickr offers no means to download your files from their site. So a guy named Gregg created a little software program that does it for you. It’s an absolute breeze to use, and I can now sleep at night because I know that my photos are backed up.

The software is completely free to download and use, and there are no ads for stuff like Lipovox on it, either! You do need to authorize the program to access your Flickr account. Authorizing the program is easy– sign in to your Flickr account with your browser, and open to FlickrDown to authorize. Flickr will ask if you want to allow the third-party program to access your account. If you say “no,” FlickrDown won’t be able to download your photos.

I’ve been using the program all afternoon, and I just love it. You can choose which sets you want to download, or which photos, or all. It’s a terrific and simple little program that saves a lot of headaches!
