Are the pictures uploaded to shutterfly directly from the phone, or the is the phone plugged into the computer first and uploaded to shutterfly from the computer?

I really just have to go and clean it up. But it does a lot of the work for you |
Which site does this for you ?

Think that’s what I’ll do
I’ll go thru all the pics by season & save them to an album & use the designer service from shutterfly
Now that I know what I WANT to do, I have to actually DO IT!

What shutterfly book is durable and good quality?
I was thinking of doing Zno, but there are no coupons there.

I do one or two 8x11 book on Shutterfly with pictures from the whole year (I wait for when it’s unlimited pages). I used to do 6x6 books for every small occasion or trip but the price recently jumped from $2 to $12 so not so sure about that… I like the idea of 4 8x8s a year a pp mentioned, maybe I’ll start doing that

What do you think is better about shutterfly?

Is there any way to use Google photos in such a way to print a photo book that you can select by face which picture to include?
Like I've made books using Snapfish, and it pulls the photos from Google photos but only by album, is there any way to sort it by people?

In Israel the sites are very good, but no unlimited offers. I usually do 44-50 pages, yearly is best. (Simchas get 2-4 pages and I want to expand on them in sep. albums). But when the site does it "for you", how do they know the order? Can you request by date taken?
Otherwise, they put not-so-important pictures in the large spaces. I have to choose what gets a large frame, and what is not so special (or similar to another)and gets a smaller space. How does that work for you?

I've never had luck with using the site's auto fill for pictures.

I do old fashioned albums and photo books just for special occasions like an upsherin. It’s too much work to do photo books for everything.
I use Shutterfly, upload from my phone but use a computer for ordering I find it easier.

Why not?
What about it doesn’t work for you ?

I use shutterfly. I choose all the pics and then click autofill so the book is made on its own. I just add in a few captions, wait for a sale, and order
I'm not saying my books are gorgeous or super professional. But they serve the purpose of having photos to look back on

I find it’s more the beginning of the year.
End of the year holiday season there never is.
I get promotion emails. Mailings. And see on dans deals specials.

I literally just did this tonight
I use walgreens photo website, they always have sales (now 40% off)
I had almost 2 years of photos to print, so I made a google photos album of the pics I wanted (about 300) then walgreens can connect straight to your google photos account and I added the whole album and did the auto fill option so its just all the pics filling up pages (not that different than printing albums of pics) I don't do text or captions
then just order and done! took me forever till I sat down to choose pics that's the longest part

When you chose the pics , they had to be in the right order before sending them to Walgreens for the auto fill option, right ?
I don’t live in USA & we don’t have Walgreens.
Maybe there are sites here in Canada that does this, wondering if Costco does

in google photos they are sorted by date and they upload the same order
in the book they get a bit shuffled on each page but it's basically in chronological order
