Uploading Photos from Photo Library to Flickr
Last updated March 7, 2012
Photo Library or Photo Library Classic
When uploading photos that are in your photo library, you have two options
Photo Library: This is the option that you should use for uploading photos from your photo library, as with this option your photos will have EXIF information, location information, and they will be in high resolution. To use this option you need to grant location access to PhotoExplorer. PhotoExplorer does NOT actually use your current location, but your device requires this permission in order to browse full quality photos and videos for upload. PhotoExplorer will be able to display the location where the photos were originally TAKEN.
Photo Library Classic: This option should only be used when you don't want to grant Location Access to PhotoExplorer, your uploaded photos will be in medium resolution and won't have EXIF neither location information.
