Browse your photos and create albums

Photos gathers the images and videos of your Drive in one place, sorted by date, wherever they are stored.

#Browse your photos

In the sidebar, click Photos. Your photos and videos appear as a timeline grouped by year, month or day. Three tabs sit at the top: Photos, Albums and Map.

You can:

• show All, only Photos, only Videos or only Live photos, or narrow to Starred items or to items with a Location;

• sort by Date taken, upload date or modification date, newest or oldest first;

• choose the source: Whole library, Camera uploads (photos sent from your phone) or a folder you pick, and use Exclude folders… to leave some folders out.

#Create albums

Albums let you group photos and videos without moving them.

1. At the top of Photos, open the Albums tab and click Create album.

2. Name the album (up to 250 characters) and click Create.

   The album opens. It is empty at first: This album is empty.

3. Click Add photos to pick photos and videos.

   From the timeline, you can also right-click a photo and choose Add to album.

The album page also has a Share button.

In an album, right-click a photo to Remove from album or Set as album cover.

Deleting an album does not delete its photos: they stay in your Drive.

#Play a slideshow

1. Open a photo.

   Click it in a folder, in Photos, in an album, on a shared folder link or in your Vault.

2. Click Slideshow in the preview toolbar.

   For an image, you can also choose View > Slideshow.

The slideshow plays the photos and videos of the list you opened it from, with a counter. You can choose:

• the speed: Fast (2 seconds), Normal (4 seconds, the default) or Slow (8 seconds);

• the order: one after the other, or shuffled;

• Repeat, which is on by default.

Drime remembers these settings in this browser. A video plays with its own controls and doesn't move on by itself. Press Space to play or pause, the left and right arrows to go back or forward, and Esc to close. The controls hide after 3 seconds if you don't move the mouse.

Photos and albums have no slideshow button of their own: open a photo first. In the mobile app, see Gallery and Memories on your phone.

#See your photos on a map

The Map tab places your photos that carry a location on a world map. Until one of your photos has a location, it shows No photos with a location yet: photos taken with a phone or a GPS camera carry their location. New photos appear on it once Drime has read their location, which happens in the background.
