Greeting and welcome to a fresh issue of FileDrop Updates July edition.
For us July was a busier month compared to June, we’ve added a new set of features that make FileDrop even more powerful. This month we focused on files, expecially on photos.
Google Photos Sidebar for Google Sheets and Google Slides
With this new sidebar, we’ve managed to connect Google Photos with Google Sheets and Slides and allow users to use the photos they have in the Google Photos library.
You can browse albums, search and order in multiple ways and insert the images in bulk.
The Google Photos sidebar for Google Sheets allows users to insert any photo they have in their albums into the sheet cells using the Image function. Read more about it in our dedicated article Google Photos sidebar for Google Sheets. Embeding of the images is done with the dedicated function for embeding photos in Google Sheets cells.
The Google Photos sidebar for Google Slides allows users to insert photos as an image element, you can create slides automatically with the bulk insert function, read more about in our dedicated article Google Photos Sidebar for Google Slides.
EXIF Metadata Extraction Tool for Photos
Many of our users are photographers that manage large amounts of images and this tool can help speedup their workflow by extracting all the Exif data from the photograps in Google Sheets.
You just need to list the photos in the Google Sheet with the Image Kit sidebar and then start the Exif data extractor tool to do it’s job.
Google Drive Bulk Rename Files Tool
Our users find it easier to manage their files in Google Sheets rather than using the Drive, the bulk rename tool for Google Drive works great for those that want more than our free version.
Open a Google Sheet and start the Bulk rename pro tool to start renaing your files, it supports more files and has a more sophisticated way of handling the rename plus a few more options.
