I'm lazy in the same way most of the time. Also, I was uploading new photos to an existing folder I own on another .io group and had an amazing difficult time. The photos would load but not show up.? Took about 2 hours to get the hand full of photos loaded and sorted out.? What a waste of time!

Subject: Re: [TekScopes] When Posting Photos Please include the following...
I'm lazy and most times can't be bothered to log into groups.io, let
alone search for some photo.
Unless you provide a freely available direct link I probably won't look at it.
I realize that is no great loss to anyone, but just wanted to point
out if you want your photos seen a direct link (ideally with no login)
is in your own interest.
There are many free services that host photos and let you share them
via a URL, such as google photos.
Tinypic also worked great but now they have annoying ads.
For archival purposes the group photo space might be ideal, but for
accessibility it's almost as bad as Yahoo was.

Just a reminder:
If you announce to TekScopes members that you posted photo(s) to a TekScopes
photo album please include a link to their exact location, the title of the
photo album, and if it was created some time prior to your post date, the
creation date of the album.
If you take a moment to these three things in your announcement it will save
everyone interested in looking at your photos the time it takes to hunt
through the photo albums.
Yes, I know you can order the albums by date created or by title. Don't
assume your photo album will be looked at immediately in which case it can
be quickly found by creation date. Consider the case where someone reads
your post years later and wants to see the photos.
