How to Upload Pictures to Facebook From Your Hard Drive
Facebook makes sharing photos fast and painless. There is no need to send email with huge files attached to each person. You can share photos individually or in an album and you can choose who will be able to see them. Whether they are photos of your latest vacation, pictures of a high school reunion or your latest Photoshop feat, you are just a few clicks away from sharing them with the world.
