*Google Team Drive requires different image ownership and permissions than Google Drive and access to it through our editor is not currently a supported feature. Schools that are currently using Team Drive will need to transfer any wanted images into a Google Drive folder created using the adviser email. The adviser can then use that Google Drive account, when they are signed into the yearbook project, to access the images. Google Team Drive images can also be saved to a computer desktop and uploaded into the yearbook project.
Google Photos (Formerly Picasa)
When you log in successfully, you should be able to see all albums in your Google Photos account. Select the album that contains the desired images. Next, click the images you wish to import, then click the "Upload" button.
