Is 360 photography supposed to be uploaded like regular photos?

I was wondering if 360 photos were supposed to be uploaded like normal photos, since they’re unique, like videos you can’t upload within a review. I was curious.

Thanks for the help.

Yes brother they’re just like regular pictures, just make sure they’re right and showing correctly because some 360 cameras ask you to convert the pictures after uploading them to your computer. @JustinNifong

Hi @JustinNifong although you can upload 360 images directly on Google Maps, it’s better to use Google Street View app to do so, because processing of 360 images in maps could take much time and end with a flat (not 360) image in your contributions. Another pro of using Street View app to publish 360 photos is that you can move and change the place where are linked to after publishing.
