How To Post Google Photos - DownUnder - 02-10-2025 12:05 AM

Posting an image from your Google Photos album requires a few steps. To assist, I have created a short YouTube video.

Here are the step by step instructions :-

Sign into your Google Photos account in one browser tab and the GLMC Forum in a second browser tab

In the Google Photos tab
  1. click on "create a new album" in top right-hand menu
  2. give the new album a name. In this example I used "Upload Test"
  3. click on 3 dot menu top right-hand side
  4. click on "options"
  5. click "link sharing" on
  6. turn off the top 4 options, but leave "link sharing" turned on
  7. close window (x in top right-hand corner)
  8. Once the steps above are completed you can use the same album for all future photo sharing.
  9. now click on "add photos" and then click on "select from computer"
  10. navigate to the photo you want to upload. In this example, the photo is in a folder called "Test Image Upload"
  11. wait for the photo to be uploaded
  12. left click on image
  13. right click on image and select "copy image address"


Now switch to GLMC Forum tab
  1. click New Reply
  2. click the "add image" icon and paste the link
  3. edit link by adding a special tag at the end of the link. The tag is ?0.jpg as in question mark + zero + dot + jpg
  4. preview your comment
  5. post your comment


I know that this looks complicated, but after you have done it once or twice it is straight forward and easy.
