Browse your photos and create albums

See all your photos and videos as a timeline, filter and sort them, group them into albums and find geotagged photos on a map.

Updated Web

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.

#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.
