I had been making photosphere’s using my iphone and the Google street app without any problems. I have just started using a 360 camera. In order to post, I have to import them into the Google street app then I have to adjust the gps location and select the place name and then upload. They all seem to make it into my account, by this I mean that when I bring up all my posted pictures I see them there. The problem is that when I click on the place name and view the associate pictures, it’s not one of them. Those pictures are clearly not public as I don’t get any views. Does anyone know what’s going on?
Further info:
I have noticed that the images that get posted publicly have thumbnails that are not distorted. By this, I mean that it looks like a rectangular picture of just a segment of the entire 360. The ones that are not posting publicly have distorted thumbnails. By distorted, I mean that the entire 360 shot is crammed into that rectangular image. Now even though the thumbnail is distorted, when I click on it, it will fill the big screen correctly like a 360 photosphere should look.
Both of these examples are taken with the same 360 camera, then imported into the Google streets app, place name and gps info added (within Google app) and then posted.
Here is an example of a 360 that is not posting. Notice the thumbnail is distorted but the photosphere in the big window is correct. Then click on the place name and see if you can find it among the images (not there). https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112472312085509774312/photos/@42.0461055,-88.0376305,3a,83y,222.48h,87.32t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipNDvJVRPhNDVSKcNdqK12jB8zEwYMeEgwR-RnO6!2e10!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNDvJVRPhNDVSKcNdqK12jB8zEwYMeEgwR-RnO6%3Dw520-h260-k-no!7i6912!8i3456!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1

The thumbnail is not distorted and it can be viewed publicly. https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112472312085509774312/photos/@42.0461036,-88.0358234,3a,75y,168.19h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipMQham2o-nFEtAhWyo11No5Tp53yWxr0GZXLRRp!2e10!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMQham2o-nFEtAhWyo11No5Tp53yWxr0GZXLRRp%3Dw365-h260-k-no-pi-10-ya111.8125-ro-0-fo100!7i6912!8i3456!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1
