Transferring Photos on Photobucket

Does anyone know if you can transfer photos from one account to another?

Yes you can, you may have to do it as a "Copy & Paste" but it can be done as I have done it.

Steps?

We use only 1 account but isn't the public folder shared across accounts as it was in XP? (Shared Documents)

Edit: Sorry. I should have read the subject title!

Lol just realized "XP" looks like eyes and a tongue. XD

That's ok Yoda. I could just download the images and reupload them but that'll take weeks...and is a waste of time if I can just do like an "album transfer" you what what I'm saying?

I guess I'll have to show you how then...

First go to your account page in a new tabbed window, then open up another tabbed window and search for what you're looking for or whatever account you want access.

Second, in the second window when you find the image you're looking for then "Copy" from the Direct Link URL in "Share This Photo" box to the right of the image you've chosen.

Third, go back to your first tabbed window in your account and click on "Upload Now" Green Button in the top bar. Choose the upload from "The Web" selection in the drop menu and the Paste the URL from the second tabbed window.

Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy!

This is one-by-one for each image? Could I do all of them at once or say 25 at once?

Hold down CTRL to select multiple files.

Read the info in the Upload feature.

They allow you to upload like only 30 at once though, and adding up all the images from my 5 accounts...comes up to be around 300-400.

I really hope...I can transfer albums over? Basically, each of those 5 accounts have one album each.

I made a new Photobucket account that I wish will have the photos from those 5 accounts. Do you think I can transfer entire albums over by using the direct url to those 5 albums? Or some other method?

What you can do, is create several more Photobucket accounts. Of course, this will take several more email addresses, but those can be had for free. There's at least a half dozen major email providers across the net.

There's also ImageShack.

This will allow you to do more w/o creating more email addresses. The only other way that I know around the limitations is to go to the paid version of Photobucket.
