Stockphoto.com allows you to submit your photos stored in:

  1. Dropbox
  2. Google Drive
  3. Google Photos
  4. Microsoft OneDrive

It’s as simple as granting us read-only access and then telling us which folders in these accounts you’d like to share.

We’ll only license photos stored in these authorised folders. So you can add or remove photos whenever you please — just by adding or removing photos from the authorised folders :)

STEP 1: Login to OneDrive and Create a new folder

Here I’ve created an example directory called ‘upload’.

STEP 2: Add photos to folder

Next, I’ve placed my photos for submission into this ‘upload’ folder. We’re now ready to connect Stockphoto.com to OneDrive and authorise folder access.

STEP 3: Login to upload.stockphoto.com

Click on the ‘Connected Services’ link in the left-hand menu.

STEP 4: Click ‘Connect’ (OneDrive)

OneDrive will then ask for your permission to grant access to Stockphoto.com

STEP 5: Click the green ‘+’ folder

STEP 6: Select and Add the ‘upload’ folder

SUCCESS. And you’re DONE!

Give the system a few minutes and then click on My Photos to check that your new photos have been accepted and automatically keyworded. These photos are now ready and searchable by our Stockphoto.com customers. EASY!

HEADS UP:

1. Remember that if you delete any photos from this OneDrive folder then it will be removed immediately from Stockphoto.com.

2. Correspondingly if you add new photos to this OneDrive folder then it will be submitted to Stockphoto.com automatically.

3. You can authorise as many folders in these OneDrive accounts as you like

4. If you cancel access to any of these folders then all photos in that folder (and their related all-time stats) will be removed.

5. If you cancel access to OneDrive then all photos in that account (and their related all-time stats) will be removed.
