Can't Upload Photos to Google Maps

The uploading of images when you write a review on Google Maps is not working for many people.

You will have to use the "Your Contributions" option.


Search for a premises on Google Maps and write a review in text. Click the "Done" button.


Go to the top left and see the three horizontal lines icon.




Click "Your Contributions" button.






Click "Reviews" tab.


Cursor down until you find the review you just wrote - the name of the company. Click on the name.





A Google Maps web page will open. Click the "Add a photo" button at the bottom.






Open your Picture folder. Drag your image onto the popup that opened. Click "Done" button.



Click the "Reviews" tab. Cursor down to the company you reviewed and click the name of the premises. You will see your image at the bottom of your review text.




The picture is on Google Maps it can take a week for it to appear in a normal search.



Google is starting to fade out review images. This is how Google does things. It stops things working properly. Then, after a year or so it announces a feature is gone.

If you look at reviews that show pictures you will see that they are a few years old.

Google Maps is starting to cut out the images on new reviews in the box on the left side of map views, even if they are visible in the photos tab.

How to Put an Image into a Tweet Using its URL

You used to be able to click "Add more photos" and enter an image url into the Picture folder image address line, then click open to add an image to a tweet.  Twitter has now blocked this.  folder How to image into a tweet using its url How b to b into b a b tweet b using b its b url

There is a way to get over the problem.  Create a shortcut to your Picture folder on the Desktop and drag it onto the Start taskbar.  url
Find an image on a webpage.  Cursor over the pic and drag it onto the shortcut.  


Now upload the picture as you normally would by clicking the add icon at the bottom of your new tweet.  Choose the image which will be on your computer from the Picture folder and click "Open".


This is far quicker that saving it to the Picture folder then uploading.
