Sharing STM Photos on Google Drive*

*this works on iPhone, iPad, Android phone, PC, Mac, Chromebook

Here's the easiest way to share photos that you've taken in your classroom or at an STM school event.

***Before you upload photos, make sure your device is connected to wifi and that you have the Google Drive app (it's free!) on your device. You can find it in the App Store or Google Play store.

To upload photos you've taken on your phone or iPad:

1. Open Google Drive on your device
2. Log into the photos account with the username and password that was sent in an email
3. Tap the class that you want add photos for
   
   
   
4. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner
   
   
5. Tap Upload Photos or Videos
   
   
   
6. Tap Camera Roll
7. Tap the photos you want to upload - they will have check marks on them to show they're selected
8. Tap the check mark in the upper right corner of the screen
9. That's it! - Your photos are now uploaded to Google Drive where anyone at STM can access them
   
   Once they're uploaded the photos are not automatically deleted from your phone or iPad. You will have to manually delete them if you don't want to keep them.

If you want to upload your photos into specific folders under your class, you have to create the folder before you upload the photos. For example, you can create a folder for a specific event - Mardi Gras Parade and then add your photos to it.

To do this, follow the instructions above to log into Google Drive. Once you're logged in:

1. Tap the class that you want add photos for
2. Tap New Folder to create a folder for a specific event
3. Type a name for the folder (for example, Mardi Gras Parade) and tap Create
4. Tap the folder you just created (Mardi Gras Parade)
5. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner
6. Tap Upload Photos or Videos
7. Tap Camera Roll
8. Tap the photos you want to upload - they will have check marks on them to show they're selected
9. Tap the check mark in the upper right corner of the screen
10. That's it! - Your photos are now uploaded to Google Drive where anyone at STM can access them
