How I use a "Google Maps Album" and the Archive feature together in Google Photos

Hi @Rednewt74

Thanks for posting details on your upload Workflow via Google Photos.

I also upload all my Google Maps photos via Google Photos. It gives me access to lots of editing tools in Google Photos.

I use the photo order in my all photos folder to guide the order in which I upload the photos to Google Maps. And I follow this order very carefully because it helps me not to skip any and not upload any duplicates.

Thanks for drawing my attention to the star-markings in Google Photos and the functionality of the archive. Honestly, I was not aware of the difference between deleting and archiving photos. Thanks.

Would you care to explain in short what you are using the star marking and the archiving for? Is it simply to keep track of which photos you have uploaded?

When I do a 200 pic photo walk I suffer under doing a ton of scrolling to reach the next image to upload. Maybe using the albums and archiving will make this process more smooth. But don’t you have to click at least one extra time to reach the _GMA album?

Cheers

Morten
