Upload a directory of media (pics/videos) to Flickr for showing off your pics.

And, most importantly, they’re not Google. Overall, I think Google Photos is the far superior product, but Flickr will be OK for my needs. In this blog post, I discussed my process of migrating from Google Photos to Flickr. That included waiting about 5 hours for the Google Takeout to be ready. Altogether I migrated around 9,000 photos, and I started and completed the process on a Sunday. I processed the 28 files from Google Takeout in 3 batches. Once installed, you can point it to the directory where you extracted the photos from Google Takeout and leave it to do its thing.

Once again, you need a Pro account for this to work, but if you have any significant amount of photos, you’ll have to get a Pro account in any case.

I chose to do a once-off export as a ZIP file and spread the data across multiple 2 GB files You can disable takeout of all products and then scroll down to Google Photos and select it only:Īt this point, Google will ask you how you want to export the data. Google allows you to export all of your existing data by making use of their Google Takeout service. With the swapping of the automatic uploads on my phone, I was happy that all future photos would be backed up to Flickr, so it was time to migrate my old photos from Google Photos across to Flickr. Next, I installed the Flickr app and enabled backup by selecting the Auto-Uploadr option from the menu: Then, I turned off the backup in my Google Photos app: First, I ensured that all my photos were backed up to Google Photos and the photos deleted from my phone (as I did not want Flickr to re-upload photos already uploaded to Google Photos). The first thing I did was to swap around the automatic uploads on my phone from Google Photos to Flickr. In any case, for me, the important part is that my photos are automatically uploaded to the cloud, and I can find them again later. They also offer a map search, but it is a bit convoluted and not as easy to use as in Google Photos where I can search for “Taipei”, and it will locate all the photos taken in Taipei. They make it relatively easy to browse photos by date which is how I usually locate old photos (for example I may want to look up photos from an old trip, so I typically go back to the date of the trip to look at the photos).They have automatic sync from my phone to the cloud (if you are on their Pro plan).I honestly did not even know they were still around, but it looks like an acquisition by Smugmug in 2018 has breathed new life into them.Īfter looking at various other alternatives, I finally settled on Flickr. Flickr was pretty successful at the time, but over many years it was acquired by various companies, and its fortunes seemed to have dwindled. Long ago, there was a product called Flickr. And that integrates beautifully with the products we already use. I think that is how they trap us in the first place by creating products that work great.

Not just the process of migrating away, but the products that one replaces them with will often-times not measure up to the convenience and ease of use of the products by big tech. But, since the whole aim of this exercise is to get away from these big tech companies, I have to look elsewhere.Īnd thus comes my first realisation: moving away from these big companies is often going to be painful. The only other products that come close to it is Apple iCloud and Microsoft OneDrive. You can search by the location, the content, photos of a specific person and Google Photos find it almost every single time. Uploading photos from the phone is seamless, and finding any photo five or ten years later is ridiculously simple. I have looked at various other alternatives, and nothing even comes close to it. As part of a process of limiting my exposure to Google products, I am migrating my photo storage from Google Photos.įirst off, I think Google Photos is an amazing product.
