Google+ Photos gets an option to move images between albums, new Download button, and faster uploading
Google+ turned two today, prompting Google to announce redesigned buttons and badges already, but that’s not all. The service is also getting some new features specifically centered on photos.
Google’s Vic Gundotra says these new additions are a direct result of feedback from Google+ users:
- A new “Move” option makes it easy to move photos between albums. Just pick a few photos in an album (or click the new “Select” link to select all of them) and choose where they go.
- Easier photo downloads. Once you’ve selected photos, use the new “Download” option to save them to your computer.
- Faster uploading for large sets of photos. We’ve made a few small changes that make adding photos from your desktop an even smoother process.
The suggestions and subsequent additions come a month and a half after a major feature roll out for Google+ Photos. At its I/O developer conference, Google added an Auto Backup tool with 15GB of free storage for full-size photos, an Auto Highlight feature which selects the best photos out of hundreds, an Auto Enhance feature which Google called “an easy button to make your images look beautiful,” and Auto Awesome which presents your photos as Gifs and collages.
