We've looked at various means of syncing a folder with your Flickr account, including Flickr's own [improved web uploader][4], a [Firefox extension][2] and a [Python script][1], but FlickrSync provides a nice GUI interface. + +Perhaps the nicest feature in FlickrSync is the ability to match a local folder to a Flickr set, which means you can auto-add images to existing set as well as create new sets from local folders. + +Other useful features include the ability to define Flickr permissions for each folder, previews of your uploads before applying them and the ability to synchronize image metadata like title, description, tags and geo data (it appears that this support extends to Vista’s built-in tagging and caption system, though I haven't tested that). + +Using FlickrSync is fairly straightforward. Once you've installed it, you'll need to authorize it to access your Flickr account and then select the folders on your computer that you want to synchronize with Flickr. Once you've selected the photos and folders you want to +synchronize and set the permissions and metadata just hit sync and you're done. + +FlickrSync is Windows only (it works on Vista and XP) and can be downloaded [here][6] (note that it is a beta, but I haven't had any problems). + +If the Flickr hounds out there know of something similar for Mac or Linux users drop a link in the comments. + +[via [CyberNetNews][3]] + + +[1]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/05/auto_upload_ima.html +[2]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/upload_to_flick.html +[3]: http://cybernetnews.com/2007/08/30/cybernotes-synchronize-photos-with-flickr/ +[4]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/08/flickrs-new-web.html +[5]: http://flickrsync.freehostia.com/ +[6]: http://www.codeplex.com/flickrsync/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=6319
