The ability to upload photos on Facebook is one of the most popular features on the social networking website. Furthermore, not only can you upload your own photos to share with your friends, but you also have the ability to download other people's shots. So long as you can view a photo on Facebook, you have the ability to save it to your computer's hard drive.
