Can Barry see my whole photo library?

No. Google only lets connected apps use the photos you pick in the Google Photos picker. Everything else stays private in your library.

Do I have to pick photos every time?

Yes, that’s how Google Photos works for connected apps. Barry sends the picker when it needs photos, and choosing takes a minute.

In what Barry is preparing: a client update, a proposal or a change order. Anything going to a client waits for your approval.

Barry uses the job photos you pick in Google Photos for client updates, proposals and change orders.

Review update

Barrynow

Karen asked about the corridor walls last week, so the Level 2 corridor shot goes first in her update.

Picked from Nov 3 and 44 photos

You pick the shots in Google Photos, and Barry places them in client updates, proposals and change orders, each held for your approval.

Each Friday Barry sends you the photo picker, then adds your picks to each job’s client update for approval.

Pick finished jobs from your albums and Barry lays them into the proposal, so a new client sees what you’ve built.

Pick shots of the site condition and Barry attaches them to the change order draft, dated, before it goes out.

Send Barry a message like one of these and it sets up the work across Google Photos and your other connected tools.

“Every Friday, send me a Google Photos picker to choose progress shots for each active job’s client update.”
