Title: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 10:46:21 AM How do I post a picture that I've uploaded to Google Photos from my phone?
I can open the photo, click the 'share' symbol, get the link and paste it on to a blonde thread, but I doesn't show up as a picture. Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: Graham C on October 19, 2015, 11:34:59 AM Post the link and we'll have a look
does it have an s at the end of http? Remove it if it does. Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: Graham C on October 19, 2015, 11:35:47 AM Oh, almost forgot.............
wait for it.................... Have you tried turning it on and off again ;) Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 11:55:29 AM This is the link it generates.

Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: Jon MW on October 19, 2015, 01:43:49 PM I've just been having a look - it looks like you "should" be able to do it from the phone, but like you I can't see "how" you'd do it. Not sure if it's a google problem or an android one.
Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 02:49:09 PM I'll post a picture of a pint for the first person to solve it.
Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 05:56:13 PM I'm beginning to think it's not possible but I'm reluctant to believe it.

Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: Kev B on October 19, 2015, 06:45:48 PM Tom I use Dropbox and Photobucket. When I click the share tag I get an option to "copy link to clipboard" then paste into where ever you want to post it.
Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 07:12:02 PM Tom I use Dropbox and Photobucket. When I click the share tag I get an option to "copy link to clipboard" then paste into where ever you want to post it. Thanks Kev. I use Photobucket too, but the Google pictures thing is pretty cool, it stores all your pics with no limit on space and makes them easy to find. For example, I uploaded over 4000 photos last night, this morning I wanted to find a particular one so I searched for 'man hat' and it retrieved all the pictures I have of men in hats. It works with all sorts of commands, I searched 'Settee' and It found about 30 pics containing settees. It would be great if I could just post pictures to the forum from it using my phone. Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: Graham C on October 19, 2015, 07:12:28 PM Apart from Jon, has anyone else tried and failed? Yes. I dont know why. You need a url ending in.jpeg(or jpg I can't remember) not a short url but I dint know why your phone does it. Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it.

Download the dropbox app. You can then copy/drag the photo's you want to post. The space is limited but if they are just copies you can delete them to make space. Title: Re: Help please.

Put phone in desktop mode. Find pic. Copy link to notebook. Click link. When pic opens long press to generate URL. C&P into thread.

However photobucket gives you the option to copy the img link.

You can set it to auto upload from your phone camera to the app. Click photo, click share, click copy link, click img link. Ready to paste into the post. Each click auotomatically takes you to the next one. Title: Re: Help please. I'm sure this is simple but I can't do it. Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2015, 08:40:03 PM The Google photos app won't allow uploads to Photobucket Kev.
Yes it's me in the pic. It's from my 'men in hats' collection. This is a link from one I uploaded to Dropbox.
