Background: Currently trying to implement a feature so that users on my site can upload their profile image to GCS.
I understand that there are two ways you could upload objects when using the client library:
The standard way (see here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/uploading-objects#storage-upload-object-nodejs) and 2. doing it with a Signed URL (see here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/samples/storage-generate-upload-signed-url-v4)
Just wondering which way would be better for my particular use case?
I'm planning to upload a large bunch of photos...I need the photos displayed under correct month and date which photo was taken...
I'm fairly certain that it depends on the EXIF metadata in your pictures. Upload one and see if it's put in the right date. If not, I think you'll have to update them all manually after uploading or find some simple program to help you edit them locally before uploading.
"Backup and Sync from Google" is an app you can download and run on your pc. It does the job of uploading photos from pc to GP cloud. You can customize settings to tell it what folders to get photos from.
Once photos are uploaded to GP cloud, the web site photos.google.com will display them in date taken sequence. You can start at that web site and one of the menus has a link to download that backup and sync app.
