Posting photos from laptop

[FPizzle]

Every time I try to post photos to Google Maps by opening the location on the map and clicking add photos I am asked to sign in to my Google account to post. I'm already signed in and if I do click on the OK box it just goes blank for a second or two and come back up with the same stupid message. The same thing happens if I try to post a review or an edit. I can post from my phone easy enough but mostly use my DSLR and don;t really feel like duplicating efforts by taking photos with both the phone and camera. Any idea how I can post from my laptop?

s??

Hi @FPizzle,

I had never came across such problem. Would you mind to share a proper video from start to end so that we may look into this issue. You can use Apowersoft in pc and mobile you can use AZ screen recorder.

Note: link mentioned by me in this reply are not to promote any software or website. Both links are only to help a local guide. If this is not permissible feel free to remove both links.

Thank you.

I posted a question and received some answers and need to reply to them. BUT, I can't seem to be able to locate my original post nor find any links that would allow me to continue the discussion.  I'm probably just overlooking something simple but can anyone guide me in the right direction so I can solve my original problem?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it later today. DO you want it from the very beginning (opening maps) or just when I click on add photos and get the screen I sent earlier. 

Do you also want to see the screen that shows that I am already signed in and notes my contributions, photos, etc.

@FPizzle,

It will be easier to locate the issue if you can share from start(open maps). 

Keep us updated 

Thank you

Look, I'm not the most technologically advanced person on the planet so you will need to help me out a little here. I do have the video you asked for but when I click on video in the reply it asks for a url. The video is stored in "My Documents" folder. I  tried "Video" and "Pictures" and also tried to copy. How do I get the video (MP4) to upload?

Sorry to be a bother but I do an extensive amount of travel in SE Asia and would like to share my experiences.
