Flickr vs Pixelrights

Flickr has an app on Windows, OSX, iOS and Android, called Flickr Uploadr (available for download in the tools section) that can automatically upload images to Flickr. It can even pull images from external drives and other cloud storage services such as iCloud.

I mainly use Google Photos and keep separate local backup of all my photos, but also use the IOS app which transfers all new photos onto Flickr storage as well.

Flickr is capable of searching images by a combination of content, color, shape, depth of field, style, pattern, size, license and other options.

Flickr will automatically attempt to figure out the contents of a picture and tag them appropriately. This will allow you to look for, for example, all images of flowers, bridges or butterflies.

They run bi-monthly competitions just for members - to win a camera or prints.

If you upload your photos to Dropbox normally, you can just click on a box and all the photos automatically download and populate your gallery. Really simple and quick.

Their website builder is very simple. Depending on which of the programs you sign up to, you have access to some beautiful designs that really showcase your work. No need to fluff with a design builder, just intuitive tools.

Benefit from the live directory, upload your details, name, location and key words and be found by agencies, media, customers.

Photographers can benefit from not having their photos pinched. No one can drag and drop, copy and paste or otherwise steal your images.
