Flickr received a massive update to version 4.0 today that introduces an auto-uploader, a new “elegant, approachable” design, easy photo edits, improved browsing, and better searching. The update isn’t just on Android, though, instead Yahoo is pushing this overhaul from the web and out to all of their properties, including iOS.
If for whatever reason, you aren’t a fan of Dropbox or Google+’s auto backup solutions, now would be the time to try out Flickr. Yahoo is giving everyone 1,000GB of photo storage, so you can auto-upload all of the photos on your device for safe keeping. So you know, the photos are all kept private automatically until you tell Flickr to do something else with them. Flickr also attempts to organize all of your auto-uploaded photos, makes it easier to find specific photos, and gives you access to a built-in photo editor.
Ready to give Flickr another chance?
What’s New
- Put your free 1000GB to work like never before – auto-upload all your photos and videos to your Flickr camera roll. They’ll be private, until you choose to share them!
- A timeline view with improved browsing, organization and sharing.
- Flickr got a facelift with an all new elegant, approachable look and feel to match your new camera roll.
- Unleash your creativity with photo edits straight from your Flickr photos.

Would be better if it would upload photos from the SD card as well.
When did they start allowing video uploads I thought it was photos only?

I love Flickr. I also love all things Google but G+/Photos is a horrible mess. The update from a few years ago totally ruined it. The forced “Highlights” section really annoys me and the whole UI feels cluttered and disorganized.

I dropped Flickr as soon as they removed the ‘Login with Google account’ option. I moved all of my photos to Google+.
The only reason I might use Flickr would be if it made posting to Facebook easier than G+ does. As it stands all my photos get auto-uploaded to G+ Photos but its a royal pain to get them over to FB from there. Google and FB don’t play well together.
I still don’t see the value of Flickr. I guess if I just wanted a dumping ground for my photos, a free terabyte would be great but it doesn’t seem like I can do much with them there.
It’s a place to share photos, like a mix between Instagram and 500px. What do you think it’s meant for?
The value is that you get a free TB, can easily share/embed multiple size versions of your images, easily make custom slideshows, and have a place to auto backup your phone photos.
