Uploader Competetive Analysis
Flickr (October 2008)
- Notice no buttons/choices once you start uploading.Â
- I accidently chose a folder of 473 images (rather than the subfolder), hit upload before I realized what I was doing and then there was no way to stop it (perhaps I could have just closed my browser?).Â
- File names seem to pop as most important after selection (first page). We could do more to make our filenames stand out.

- drag and drop files any time to queue.
- can remove items from queue while upload is in progress, but can't remove the files being uploaded
- pause button will stop the upload once the current concurrent uploads are completed.
- Above image shows the upload being paused. 2 files are finishing uploading before stopping.
- Resuming the upload.
