Flickr is a service that allows you to upload, organize, and share photos over the Internet. Normally you manage your photos in Flickr via a browser, but now there is a Windows Shell Extension that integrates with Window Explorer and allows you to manage your Flickr Account right from within Windows.
Per the website:
- “This is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual drive around the Yahoo Flickr photo web-service. It creates a drive icon under your My Computer folder and allows you to browse your and other people's photosets on the Flickr web-service. In addition you can manage your own Flickr photos with the tool from within Windows Explorer. This virtual folder works in Windows Vista or better.
- The Flickr Drive tool allows you to browse and edit your photos as if they were located on your own hard-drive. Use features such as drag'n'drop to add photos to your online Flickr photosets. Manage your photos by editing tag properties directly in Windows Explorer.
- Browse photos from other Flickr users by adding accounts to the root of the Flickr Drive folder. Search for photos with specific tags by adding a Tag Search folder (similar to a regular search folder in Windows Vista). Under your own Flickr account, you can add and delete photos and photosets too.”
If you are using Flickr to share photos with other via the Internet and frustrated with the web interface, you may want to check out the Windows Shell Extension here.
