How to share photos from Google drive?

Hi @InaS

This may be hijacking @Avishek08 's post and perhaps should be separated into its own post but anyway I’m not clear, and I’m sure that others will similarly be unclear, on how to share or use photos from photos.google with Connect posts so as to avoid the 1000 photo limit. For example, the following step is not clear to me:

Tap Type a name, phone number, or email or select people to share with. If you’re part of a family on Googlewith at least 2 other people, select Family group to share with your family members.

Also, how does one do this from desktop?

Regarding my opening comment, why not turn this into a separate How-To :slight_smile:

Best,

Adam

Hi @AdamGT ,

I moved your comment to How-tos, so we can continue our conversation about your question in this post.

Here is a screenshot on how to share your photos via Google Photos from desktop:

I hope it is clear, if you have any other questions you can reach out again.

Hi @AdamGT

Question on @Avishek08 post still unclear to me :frowning:

Of course sharing a link doesn’t go to impact your limit of 1000 photos on Connect.

For a better visual effect, you can also embed a photo, as clearly indicated on Traci’s post: Tips for Uploading Images to Connect to Stay Within Limit

What you show as an example is part of Google for families, not related to Connect nor to Sharing photos on Connect (maybe, as your post has been moved, I am simply missing something)

I’m sorry @ErmesT but I do not unertand this reply and I cannot find my post that @InaS has moved!

Hi @AdamGT

As far as I can understand, this post was originally a reply to another post, that has been separated by @InaS because not related, or just partly related, to the issue mentioned by Avishek08 on his post

Hello @ErmesT and thank you for the reply but funnily I cannot find the post by @InaS Do you know where it is,perhaps a direct link to the post would help.

@InaS Thanks for the detail explanation with photo. As I am new to google connect I just want to know little more. Should I share the link in the body of the text. I did paste the link of one of my photos from google link and in preview mode, it is not showing the photo but the link. Does it mean it will show the photo after publishing the post? I also tried to insert photos through the Photos option. I copied the link and paste that in URL section but it is not accepting URL and saying need to write complete URL. Please advise.

Hi @MukulR ,

You’re welcome. About your question, you should paste the link in the body text. The photos will not show in the post, it will still be a link, and Local Guides should click to see them.

Hope my answer clears your questions, if not please feel free to reach out.

@InaS Noted with thanks. Now it is clear to me.
