<p>Flickr is a great tool to organize your photos and share them with the world. Plus, ever since Flickr got an overhaul and tons of free space, it's a great place to back up your photos too. Still, it can be even better with a few useful tools from the user community. Here are some of the best.</p><p>Even if you haven't been there in a while, Flickr is still really popular with professional and amateur photographers alike. You can use it to find your next camera, or use all of that glorious space for files, not just photos if you want. If you do want to use it for photos, there are tons of third-party apps and utilities that make uploading faster, managing your photos easier, and help you discover new and interesting people to follow. Here are a few. juploadr</p><p>juploadr is a cross-platform, java-based uploading tool to get photos off of your hard drive and up to Flickr easily. It's more than a bit dated, but it still works like a charm, and makes it easy to get your photos uploaded in batches, and keep them organized at the same time. It's not pretty either, but it gets the job done. Alternatively, you can just use Flickr's own drag-and-drop upload page, but it's a little on the slow side, and depending on your browser, it might not work terribly well.</p><p>If you're using OS X, you can use Flickr's old OS X uploader, which still works like a charm. If you have a few bucks, try FlickrExport for iPhoto and Aperture, which will set you back $20 for the iPhoto version or $24 for the Aperture version, but if you use those tools in addition to Flickr, it's worth the buy.Flickr Mobile</p><p><a href="http://lifehacker.com/the-best-tools-and-apps-to-make-the-most-of-flickr-1557281790">Keep reading...</a></p>
