I just rely on Flickr's auto-upload feature. If it doesn't happen fast enough for my impatient self, I will sometimes fire up the Flickr app on my phone. (I don't know if that helps, but my impatient self thinks it might.)

Yesterday was a bit different. I took five photos. It uploaded four successfully, then got stuck on the fifth. When I looked in the app on my phone it said it was "finishing up", but never finished. Eventually, I saw a fifth photo, but it was from some previous upload (Campy hub locknuts vs the Frejus pix I was trying to upload). To make matters worse, at one point, I looked at my camera roll, and instead of the four pix plus on incorrect one, I got five grey thumbnails. I now see six thumbnails, the four originally uploaded, the locknut photo, and the true fifth one. That is one I believe I downloaded from Google Photos, then manually uploaded to Flickr.

Weird, but in the end I didn't lose anything.
