Some services such as Google and Flickr allow you to search for pictures with keywords you specify.
This facility extends to NitroDesk, where you can perform a query on either of these sites. The first 500 results are fetched to you, which you can browse, drill down and view.
If you like a photograph, you can choose to view the artists other albums and perhaps add the artist to your favorites list.
When connected to any photo sharing service, you can easily perform a backup of all your images from that service to your local hard disk
This is useful when you have lost, misplaced or accidentally deleted your original copies of your pictures on the site, or simply as a means to get back what you have uploaded.
You should note that some services down-size your images when uploading, and some may place watermarks on the images they let you download.

If you took a backup of your photos from a photo sharing site, you can also restore from the backup
This is useful if you accidentally deleted your pictures from the site
You can also restore to a site or account that is different from the one you backed up the pictures from. This is an easy way to transfer pictures from one account to another
or even between different services.

Uploading photos to your albums is easy with NitroDesk. Simply launch the MultiLoader, tell it where you wish to upload photos to, drag and drop photos to the upload area and begin your upload.
And of course there are the options...
You can choose more than one site to upload to. You can also choose to upload to existing albums or create new ones
You can restrict the image size when uploading. This will ensure faster uploads for casual pictures or when your site prohibits large uploads
You can also specify the title and description of the picture before uploading. This will ensure that the title and description will be set for the photos in all the services you upload to.
If during the upload, you close the program, shut down the computer, or somehow lose your internet connectivity, NitroDesk will resume the upload when it is restarted the next time.
* Limited functionality in standard version
This feature allows you to simply drag and drop photos and albums between different photo sharing sites you use
NitroDesk takes care of pulling the photos and albums from the source site to the target efficiently.
It also preserves as much information as possible when transferring images -
such as Titles, Descriptions, Tags, Geotags etc. subject to the sending and
receiving sites' ability to provide/accept them.
Once you have requested a transfer by dragging and dropping the photo or albums, the remaining work happens in the background, so you don't have to wait around.
If during the transfer, you close the program, shut down the computer, or somehow lose your internet connectivity, NitroDesk will resume the transfer when it is restarted the next time.
Limited functionality in standard version
NitroDesk Media Edition lets you set up any number of synchronization tasks.
These tasks enable you to maintain your online account and your computer in sync.
Any albums or photos you add to the synchronized folder on your computer will be automatically uploaded to your online
site. Any albums or photos you add to the online site will be automatically downloaded to the synchronized folder on your computer.
If you delete albums or photos from your online site, they will be
removed from your local computer.
(For safety, your online albums and photos will not be deleted
automatically by synchronization)
