This automation scenario allows you to connect Flickr and Dropbox
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Flickr and Dropbox can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Flickr
This Trigger fires every time you upload a new public photo to your Flickr photostream.
Then this action happens in Dropbox
This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to Dropbox at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Save photos you upload to Flickr in Dropbox.
Part I
First, we need to connect Flickr and Dropbox to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Flickr to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Flickr account, using Flickr credentials.
Connect Dropbox to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Flickr
Choose the following trigger: Any new public photo (This Trigger fires every time you upload a new public photo to your Flickr photostream.).
Then set up an Action for Dropbox
Choose this action: Add file from URL (This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to Dropbox at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Flickr and Dropbox.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Save photos you upload to Flickr in Dropbox!
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.
This Trigger fires every time any file is saved in the folder you specify. NOTE: will process up to 15 files per polling period.
New or modified file or folder
Triggers when a new folder is added. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.
Triggers when a file is added in a folder being watched. This module retrieves number of files/folders till 4000.
Triggers when a new file is added to a specific folder.
This Action will upload a new public photo, from a given URL to an image, to your Flickr photostream.
Upload a photo
Add a photo to a photoset
Delete a photo
Remove a photo from a photoset
Create a photoset
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
