Question!
I'm attempting to get my family's photos in order (some of us are getting up there in age, some of us are moving, etc.) and though the uploading and titling of the images is no problem, I'm having a tough time with descriptions. Is there a way that anyone knows to get this screen on an image in google drive or photos?
The description tool included with drive/photos is fine as long as the image is never downloaded, but if it is, the description is eliminated
edit: or alternately, is there a filesharing site that WILL let me do that? Google drive is so much easier because the whole family already uses it anyway

honestly I had forgot about photos when I uploaded everything.
The problem isn't making captions in drive or photos it's that when I download them, the captions disappear
Oh ok. Sorry i misunderstood. I just tried and if i upload a photo to drive after editing the metadata directly, when i downloaded it, it was still there. Photos removed it though. However, i used an app on my android to edit the metadata directly, not just Windows properties, and i am not sure if/how the field would show up in Windows. I can try and see what it looks like when i go to lunch on a Windows machine.

oh wow, thank you!
out of curiosity, what is the app?
The idea is that all of my family will be able to fill in the blanks so to speak and we'll end up with one cohesive album that everyone can appreciate

I'll keep looking around!
I believe that is correct .... or at least I can't figure out how to do it

So you'll need to add the EXIF comments to your photos offline, and then your script should extract the comment field, parse it, and then add the data back after you've uploaded the requisite photos as a secondary step.
