Sharing Photos

Google Photos

Our preferred means of sharing photographs is to use Google Photos.

Your Google ID

In order to use Google Photos you need a Google ID (free to set up and most of us have one already).  There are 4 elements of your Google ID:

Google will, by default, use your email address as your username when you set up your Google ID.  This is often a source of confusion when selecting which password to use from a list of your passwords!

If you use a gmail email account (e.g MyName**@gmail.com) your email password will be the same as your Google ID password.

If you use any other email address your Google ID and email password SHOULD be different (?must be different).

Fortunately, you will usually only have to log into Google when you first access Google Photos as it should remember you on each device you use.

Uploading Photos

Uploading photos should be easy, easier than describing how to do it!

• Open up the club upload folder in your web browser by clicking on the following button:

• Log into your Google account if asked to do so.  You should see something that looks like:

Using Chrome Browser on PC/Mac

Using Safari Browser on iPad

• Click on the "Add Photos" button (circled in the images above).
• On mobile devices you will probably go directly to your photos app
• On Windows/Mac you will probably go to Google Photos, if so
• Click on "select from computer", "select from photo
• Select the photo/photos you want to upload from your device
• Select OK
