CloudFace AI makes photo processing incredibly simple. Whether you're organizing family photos, managing event photography, or searching through thousands of images, our AI-powered system handles everything automatically. Here's your complete step-by-step guide to processing photos with CloudFace AI.
Prepare Your Google Drive Folder
First, you need to organize your photos in a Google Drive folder. This is where CloudFace AI will access and process your images.
What you need to do:
- Create a new folder in Google Drive or use an existing one
- Upload all your photos to this folder
- Make sure photos are in supported formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC, etc.)
- Organize photos by event, date, or any system that works for you
💡 Pro Tip
CloudFace AI works best with folders containing 100-10,000 photos. For larger collections, consider splitting them into multiple folders for faster processing.
Share Folder with CloudFace AI Bot
Instead of signing in with Google (which requires verification), you can simply share your folder with our AI bot. This is faster, more secure, and doesn't require any verification process.
Step-by-step sharing process:
- Right-click on your Google Drive folder
- Select "Share" from the context menu
- Click "Add people and groups"
- Enter our bot email:
cloudface-ai-bot@mevscrowd.iam.gserviceaccount.com - Set permission to "Viewer"
- Click "Send"
⚠️ Important
Make sure to set the permission to "Viewer" only. The bot only needs to read your photos, not modify them. Your photos remain completely private and secure.
Get Your Google Drive Link
Now you need to get the shareable link to your Google Drive folder so CloudFace AI can access it.
How to get the link:
- Right-click on your Google Drive folder
- Select "Get link"
- Change sharing settings to "Anyone with the link can view"
- Copy the generated link
✅ Security Note
Your photos are still private! Only people with the exact link can view them. CloudFace AI uses this link only to process your photos and doesn't share it with anyone else.
