Download photo from Facebook album
Is it possible and legal for a website to download and store photos from a Facebook album?
This the process that I'mtrying to achieve from my website.
- A user browses to my website
- My website uses the Facebook SDK to display the user's Facebook photos
- The user selects photos
- My website physically downloads those selected photos and stores them on the server that the website is hosted on.
I need to download these photos so that other users can see them.

It's technically possible if you ask for the correct permissions when you authenticate.
Facebook allows you to download user data (including photos) for purposes of caching.
There are a lot of responsibilities that come along with being able to download user data and rather than trust my interpretation, you should really read the Facebook Policy yourself.
