Why Transfer Google Photos to Flickr?
When it comes to online photo sharing, Flickr and Google Photos are not new to us at all. When Google Photos was announced in 2015, Google promised unlimited photo storage space for free. However, Google on Nov. 12, 2020 announced the end of free online unlimited storage for Google Photos. Starting June 1, 2021, all high-definition photos uploaded to Google Photos will count toward the 15 GB of free storage space provided by a Google account.
Flickr has been around for a long time and used to be known as one of the best online image hosting and video hosting service, which allows you to upload photos and videos to share with others. Users can store 1,000 videos or photos for free.
As Google Photos ended unlimited free storage space, many users may be looking for an alternative to Google Photos. At this time, Flickr may be the best choice, because it has no quality restrictions on uploaded pictures (it will not force a reduction in picture quality). But, how to transfer photos from Google Photos to Flickr easily?

Step 4. Click the "Upload" button located at the top of the window. Click the "Choose Photos & Videos" button to upload photos.
Step 5. Browse and select the photos you want to upload. Click the "Open" button to upload.
Notes:
