Upload photos to flickr even after upload limit ?

You all know about Flickr one of the online photo sharing site which i use to upload all my family photos occasionally. Due to its very low upload limit of 20 mb per month i have to resize my pics in Picasa and have to upload it.

Lastweek i scanned new sets of our Goa tour photos and tried to upload all of them but unforunately i could only upload 3/4 of them. The upload limit is over and it requests me to upgrade for a pro account. Still 7 photos are remaining and i never thought that my uploading limit would complete this quick. So for an alternative back-up i uploaded all my photos in Picasa web Album which does not have a transfer limit but a storage limit of 250 mb.

After reading Ionut’s post regarding upload pictures from Picasa to Flickr, i got an inspiration and thought for a while that uploading photos from picasa to flickr via mail would make my work easier. So to try out that method, i just selected a photo and clicked the email button then by entering my flickr email address i successfully sent the mail. Now i navigated to my flickr photos list and i could see the photo which i sent by mail.

Ok that method works cool but wonder why i am posting about it ? Yeah see the title “Upload photos to flickr even after upload limit” hmmm see, i told you my upload limit is over but i could still able to upload my pics via email to flickr. i sent 7 pics after my upload limit got over and still able to send pics to flickr.

Is that Interesting ? Why dont you try and tell me if it works for you ?

    Didn’ work for me, BTW what is Transfer Limit and Storage Limit. I thought they were same. Isn’t it ?

    Transfer limit is the amount of photos you upload by which the flickr api counts the bandwidth rate and calulates it whereas the storage limit is the total space that flickr allows you to store your photo say like hard-disc space. Regenerate your email address in flickr and try to send again …. it worked well for others..
