Is there a way to upload pictures to Street View from the PC instead of using the Street View app?

I'm currently publishing gothru.co, but there are many others.

Some are free for a trial publish of some panoramic photos, some require a payment plan.

Your choice.

Thanks for a prompt reply. :)

On a side note, I think Google should provide some software solution free of charge. After all, we are putting in a great deal of free labour for them.

A simple FTP-kind of thing would suffice. (At least when you have geo-tagged images.)

I know that the app is free, but as I said, it's not very convenient when you have lots of pictures, and I plan on covering an entire small town on the countryside in Africa next year. They don't have any useful internet connection out there.

I can tell you, after 3 years, that these new tools are powerful and more useful than the Google original tool.

Let me know if I can help you in some other way.

To upload pictures, I don't need all the "bells and whistles" of the more complex programs. (Not to mention the monthly fees)

When I have taken the pictures, all I do is geo-tag them and then they'r ready for upload.

I can understand the basic features you need, but I think there is no "all free" product that will allow you to upload 360 from your desktop.

Another option is to use an Android emulator on your desktop and try to use SV app from there: I've used Bluestacks for this purpose.

There is a whole Android system you can install on a partition of your desktop PC, is called Remix OS, but I never tested.

Best regards

I think I'll go for the Android emulator and see if I can get that to work. 

If not then I guess I'll just get a cheap phone that I can dedicate to this purpose so that I don't have to tie up my phone for a long time.

It seems to be working ok with Google Street View, but I haven't tried to upload any pictures yet.

Edit: Just uploaded over 50 pictures with Google Street View on BlueStacks. Works like a charm.

         Problem solved.  :O)

It is also good for editing existing tours/panoramas that have been published to GSV, applying your/customer logo at nadir and it can do it as a bulk action through editing a master node.  Not sure about publishing still photos through it. I cannot see why it would not work but never tried it.

Another great feature that will be hard to find in any other software that you can connect two different google street tours together. For example you can link a tour for outdoor with a tour created for indoor. This way people walking on  some outdoor path through  a Google Maps tour (which is not part for Google Street View done by Google) can enter the indoor tour.  The tours that you need to link should be on your/customer business account that you can access though. It won't you to link your tour with somebody's else tour.

If you look at my account at https://goo.gl/maps/vdJkKM521ZJaPZeKA most of panoramas have been published through Pano2VR Pro and even have my or my customer logo at nadir. Those that have no logo at nadir are for indoor spaces that have been published through Matterport. I can actually get them loaded in Pano2VR Pro, do the logo and reupload them back but my customer does not need it for their indoor tours.

I just go into my account google maps and load them from there NP I firstly make albums of the photos I have taken and Area Example (lime park)   when you go into your contribute section on Google maps they should appear on the left all the different places just high lite the photos you want to post and that's it including 360%
