I have about 200 photos about my school and I uploaded it in my school google maps but there are just 10 photos by me so what should I do to google Maps show all 200 photos in my school google map?
by the way, all photos are in my profile but they didn’t show in google maps
it names: هنرستان نمونه شهید دارا or speacial techniacal high school of shahid dara
Hi @kambiz7567
Thanks for asking. Your question fits better in the How-to section than under Photography, so I hereby call on @sonnyNg to move your post. Don’t worry it, is not a big problem.
I can see your 10 photos, but there is a problem. You have uploaded them as what looks like word pages with the photo at the top and some text and a lot of white empty space at the bottom and around each photo on each page/photo. This is not how we are supposed to upload photos. Only upload photos with nothing extra like text and white space/margin. Also, the resolution does not look great.
I suggest that you delete all 200 and reupload them as ordinary photos. This will increase your chances of having them shown publicly.
Cheers
Morten
I can see 12 photos, @kambiz7567 , because one of them has been uploaded 3 times.
I have a few questions for you:
Why do you need to upload 200 photos (two hundred)?
Do you think all of them are necessary to explain to a visitor?
You are showing a lot of people faces in your photos. Do they know you are posting them on Google Maps? Did they gave you the permission for publicly posting?
Google Maps is not a place to use as a personal album. We are Local Guides because, with our contributions, we help others to be informed about a place.
What if you visit a place in maps with 200 photos likes yours? Will you find the photos helpful, or will you report them, like I will do?
I want to share with you a couple of posts, to explain why, apart of the clear explanation given by @MortenCopenhagen , may help you to understand how and when to upload photos:
Hope this will help you
Hello @kambiz7567
Looking at your profile, I find you are getting credit in points for 212 photos. However, only twenty-five are visible to the public.
Thus, the automation is marking your photos as spam & making those private.
Your problem would continue till the time you remove the photos which are not visible to the public.
Hi thanks for your reply
I’ll answer all of your questions
I’m a student and that place is my school so i want to graduate and get a diploma anyway my headmaster of the school said upload all pictures
Yes they know I want to publish their photos it’s by order of headmaster
Its Like ads I advertise photos to more student attract at my school so it seems important for my headmaster
Its necessary and I should upload all photos less than 1 month

they are not my photos it’s by order of headmaster. some student won festivals. so he said to publish photos that I sent to your Gmail.
Hi @kambiz7567
Please explain to your headmaster that uploading photos to Google Maps with recognizable faces is not ok.
Quote from the Community policy:
“Also please respect the privacy of others and ask for permission or avoid taking identifiable images of people at places like schools and hospitals.”
It could not be more clear in my opinion.
Also, you can get in trouble for uploading photos that you did not take yourself.
Quote from How to Upload Great Photos to Google Maps by Googler AnnaDickson:
“This means, if it’s not your photo, don’t upload it!”
Again, this is very clear.
You could try showing this to your headmaster. Hopefully, he/she will understand.
All the best

Hi @kambiz7567
It would be really helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply.
All the best
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen thanks a lot
@MortenCopenhagen thanks a lot i didn’t know that
You should show this post, and the contents I shared with you, @kambiz7567 , to your headmaster, explaining that this is a kind of spam.
If the school wants to upload photos, they can join Google My Business and add the photos there
Thanks a lot sir @ErmesT
Hi @kambiz7567 ,
Welcome to Connect and thanks for reaching out to the community! : ]
Much appreciated from everyone for having checked, as the reply kindly provided by @ErmesT would be accepted as Solution, where the direct possible solution is being provided.
Please be sure to check carefully as @C_T and @MortenCopenhagen added regarding the policies, as additionally I wanted to share the Google Maps Content policy, specifically in the page for Privacy.
For the moment, the current post would be relocated to How-tos, should the board be more related to the main subject. (the topic What are Connect topics? may come in quite handy)
