Thank you @Muhammad_Usman for such an informative post about Pakistan. I loved all the pictures as they are so unique and tell your story. Could we please get to see more of these places? Perhaps a shared Google Album or photo collages (using Google photos) would be a good start.

I hope that you will keep contributing with such quality and detailed posts :heart:

@Muhammad_Usman

you can Try Google Photos using the link here.

  1. Upload the Photos/Videos (be mindful of the 15GB storage space your Google Account has. )
  2. You can then move and organize the photos in to new Albums
  3. You can select up to 9 photos and can create a photo collage
  4. Or, perhaps, you can create a share link for your photo album and include with your Connect posts (if you wish)

This will help you in:

  • Keeping your photos organized
  • creating cool Collages from your photos (without using any 3rd party app)
  • easily shareable Albums
  • Also, by sharing collages and Album links, you will save yourself room for more photos here on connect, where we are limited only to 1000 photos.

I hope that helps

Thanks very much I will make albums and share here on connect and one thing more

can we share only 1000 photos on connect in all post its new thing for me?

3 Likes

yes , that’s correct @Muhammad_Usman .

we do have a 1000 photo upload limit because unlike other platforms, connext is not a social media platform to share photo/videos with friends.

Infact, it encourages LocalGuides to write quality and informative post so that people get to read about your community, your work in your community, the campaigns and your personal highlights of your travel episodes.

If we think about adding a High Quality photo or a collage to our posts, it will make it more.vivid without the unnecessary jargon of multimedia content, which totally makes sense.

isn’t it?
