Flickr’s desktop Auto-Uploadr tool no longer free

PanARMENIAN.Net - Flickr has made a change to its $5.99 monthly Pro membership plan that will affect those using the photo-sharing social network for free. Starting Tuesday, March 8, its desktop Auto-Uploadr tool will be exclusive to paying customers. The company, however, is offering a 30% discount to non-paying members to upgrade, VentureBeat reports.

With the desktop Auto-Uploadr feature, users can automatically upload all of their photos from anywhere, while also making them accessible from any device. Introduced in May and available for Windows and Mac computers, it promised to take images from your hard drive, iPhoto, and any external hard drive and store it on Flickr’s servers. This was intended to tout the company’s increase in free storage capacity of up to 1000GB.

A couple of months after Auto-Uploadr’s debut, Flickr brought back its Pro plan that offered discounts on Adobe software, free shipping on company merchandise, improved analytics, and also a Pro badge.

Those with free accounts have 14 days before they lose access to the Auto-Uploadr feature, but if you use the coupon code FLICKRPRO30, you’ll be able to regain access.
