Photo Upload is a single plug-in for Adobe Lightroom that allows you to upload photos and videos to your favourite online photo services.

With the exception of Tree Mirror, the plug-in is restricted with the free version to only uploading photos in a small size.  To remove this restriction, simply purchase a license key for each upload service that you wish to use.

  • Free version – allows you to upload photos to each online photo service but with a limited resolution
  • Licensed version – enables full resolution uploads and additional features that make using Lightroom to upload your photos even easier

Notes

Google has a restriction that it only allows you to upload photos to Google Photos albums created by the plug-in.

Google does not permit third party applications, like this Lightroom plug-in, to delete or update your photos. This means that if you upload the same photo more than once, then you will see multiple copies of the photo. You can manually delete them using the Google Photos app or website. Google have tracked the request for this support since 2018 and have so far not implemented a fix.

All photos uploaded to Google Photos are stored in “original resolution” and use up your Google Photos storage space.  However, once your photos have been uploaded to Google Photos, you can then follow these instructions to recover the storage space:
