Upload photos automatically to Flickr

Flickr is a great site to share pictures but the uploading task can sometimes be too tedious. For this reason a few developers have created their own Flickr uploading tools, in an effort to make this job a little lighter on you.

Foldr Monitr is one of those attempts to automate the uploading of pictures to Flickr. It works by monitoring a certain folder in your PC and uploading any new picture that is saved there to your Flickr account. There’s probably no easier way to upload photos to the web!

The program doesn’t require any user intervention. Simply authorize it to use your Flickr account (be sure to follow the instruction on the readme, it’s not as easy as it seems), choose the folder to be monitored and you’re done. Just one tip: be patient, because it takes a while to upload images, especially high-res ones.

Foldr Monitr is a free tool that runs in the background and watches a selected folder (and optionally subfolders) waiting for you to add photos to it. When photos appear in the folder, Foldr Monitr automatically uploads them to your Flickr account for you.

Set it to watch the location you transfer your photos to from your camera and they’ll be automatically sent to Flickr straight away. Photos can also be uploaded to a chosen set or to automatically generated sets based on the names of the subfolders in which they reside on your computer.
