How to Migrate Flickr to Google Photos in Two Ways Google Photos offers 15 GB of free cloud storage shared with Google Drive and supports more photo formats than Flickr, such as .rm2.It can smartly search specific photos by typing into them, such as object name, site, and so on. Google Photos is better for exploring photos.And, Google Photos is more flexible in ways of downloading photos. However, uploading photos to Google Photos is much faster and has more options, such as, automatically uploading photos from external media and auto-grouping photos by facial recognition. As is known to all, Flickr’s uploading speed is very slow and it supports basic uploading way only.This change makes Google Photos more like an independent cloud drive service for storing photos just like Flickr. And the same goes to add new photos to Google Drive, either. That is to say, when you add new photos to Google Photos, these photos will not show in the Google Photos folder of your Google Drive. Under such a circumstance, it quickly comes to most people’s minds that Google Photos is a wonderful substitute among several clouds.Īccording to Google’s announcement in July 2019, the connection between Google Drive and Google Photos has been removed. So, users try hard to find ways to move photos from Flickr to Google Photos and other new cloud storage services. However, it is safe to say that nobody wants to lose his or her photos and videos under Flikr accounts at all. That is to say, free users will lose their photos when their accounts store more than 1000 photos. Another new change brings a more tight limitation: starting from February 5, 2019, Flickr will start to delete photos that are beyond the 1000-photo limit (It will delete the oldest one first).

On November 1, Flickr changed its free tier: it no longer offers 1 TB of free storage since January 8, 2019, and users can only upload at most 1000 photos and videos for free. Preface: Changes to Flickr and Google Photos
