kmk Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mayority of people take photos and use google photos, if we have an integration with google photos we don't have to upload again pictures and videos, and we don't need ocuppy disk space. I am thinking if we have an option that say, Insert media from Google Photos, that make my life easy and happy...and insert album too...maybe you know exactly which features we can get there...

kmk Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 If we can post or embed picture video, or files directly from these world class and daily use platforms, you don´t believe that make us better and make ips more atractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadStand Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just a note - I haven't worked with Google photos API specifically, but it's been my experience that Google keeps things locked down as much as possible. In other words, I can't just put a photo on Google and upload it to the forums. I'd have to make the photo publicly accessible first, which just adds an extra step... And may not be what people want to do. It's one thing to put a photo on a site where you know a large portion of the active users. It's quite another to leave photos out there for anyone. Additionally, I would have to link my forum account and my Google account. Again, it's an extra step, and users may not want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally use Google Photos, but most of the people I know use iCloud to store their photos. In short, I think this is a niche/specific request and you might be best off contracting a developer to make it for your site specifically.

In short, I think this is a niche/specific request and you might be best off contracting a developer to make it for your site specifically. When you take photos on your smartphone, it's almost always uploaded to some cloud account. My phone keeps bothering me to auto-save to Google Photos, Dropbox, Samsung, OneDrive, etc. I'm surprised my photos aren't pretty much all over the Interwebs by this point. So if IPS wants to stay current on at least mobile trends, I think it's worthwhile to investigate being able to upload photos from a users integrated cloud account (whatever that may be). It's kind of expected behavior at this point to be able to share from one of those services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the malicious practices of Apple. Also because you most definitely do not want a situation where a market gets monopolized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiwa Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The great thing about statistics, 85% of them are made up. 👍 Seriously, though.... Cloud services are everywhere, regardless of your poison. Being able to streamline the process of sharing / exposing that cloud data is going to be a defining feature of applications sooner than later. While maybe not in the next couple years, it's been on the enlightenment hype line for years and is now squarely in the plateau of productivity where, the market will quickly start to saturate in the next 5-10 years.

At least that's how I understood it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Ok, perhaps I should backpedal and clarify... I don't want to discredit the original suggestion, or suggest that services such as iCloud, Dropbox, Google Photos, etc. aren't used. Obviously they are. My point was only meant to be that no one service is really dominant over any others, and that at this time if this is an important feature for you then you may wish to contract a developer to build it out. That is not to say that this functionality won't be considered or baked in at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound better, we hope IPS can bring us (right now is the mobile tendency, not future) more facilities and we admins and final users don't have to say, Facebook u others social platform are more easy...
