In plain words
Raspberry Pi (auto) Flickr uploader is a Python script that automatically uploads photos to Flickr when a camera or storage device is connected to a Raspberry Pi. Designed for photographers who use Flickr as a backup repository, it eliminates the need to keep a workstation running or deal with bandwidth-heavy uploads on a desktop computer. The script triggers automatically via USB detection and handles JPEG uploads while preserving RAW files separately.

Usually I don’t like to have to leave my workstation on just to upload photos, and I don’t like to use it while photos are being uploaded because the bandwidth usage makes Chrome extremely slow, so I decided that I needed a way to upload my photos as automatically as possible (at least the JPG versions, the RAW/NEF files are a different story…). This seemed like a great chance to play with my Raspberry PI 3 . I googled around and didn’t find anything that did what I wanted, so I did a simple Python script that is fired up by usbmount whenever a mass storage device is connected and uploads the files to Flickr.
