A simple console app to download all your Flickr photos and videos. Instructions: - Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio community edition. - Sign up for a Flickr API key: https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/noncommercial/? - Make sure to set your app authentication to Desktop in the Flickr app manager. Last I checked, authentication parameters were on the right side panel. - Open FlickrDownloader.sln in Microsoft Visual Studio. - Enter you key and secret in the FlickrDownloaderApp.cs file at the top. - Press F5 to run. - First do step 1. This will get all your original photos and write video metadata only. - Next, step 2. This automates your browser (Chrome is ideal) to download all your original videos. - Finally, step 3 where it merges your browser downloads folder to the folder where all your photos downloaded, keeping video metadata intact! - *** IMPORTANT *** Clear out your browser download folder before running step 2! - *** IMPORTANT *** Let the program run over night. Make sure your computer is set to never sleep. - Last step: Migrate to a real photos service like Google Photos.
