Yahoo Photo Album Downloader2.6.1.6

Yahoo Photo Album Downloader is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you download photo albums, files and message attachments from your Yahoo! account.

Simple looks

The GUI looks clean and easy to work with. In order to be able to grab data from your Yahoo! account, you need to set up information about the authentication parameters (username and password). When you finish with the downloading process, you can log out directly from the program’s interface.

Downloading options

You are given the freedom to sort data by messages, files or photos, create subdirectories for each group or album/directory, preview items, as well as download single items or all files at once.What’s more, Yahoo Photo Album Downloader lets you start or stop the downloading process. In case you stop it, you should know that the download manager is able to remember last downloaded files and allows you to restart the process later.Several configuration settings are implemented for helping you select the directory where the downloaded items are stored, include or exclude files from the downloading task based on custom file extensions (e.g. BAT, CHM, CMD, COM, EXE, CRT), and pick the folder where the utility stores info about downloaded items.

Bottom line

All things considered, Yahoo Photo Album Downloader provides a straightforward set of features for helping you grab data from your Yahoo! account for offline viewing. Thanks to its intuitive design, it can be mastered by beginners and professionals alike. However, it hasn’t been updated for a while so it may cause errors on newer operating systems like Windows 8.1. During our tests, we have experienced bugs related to Yahoo! authentication parameters.
