In Cascade template, I only seem to be able to upload one photo at a time, which is frustrating since it's a photo-heavy app.

Hi Marcy,

Thanks for your feedback. We do want to enable authors to upload multiple photos at a time, but we don't have a timeline on that yet.

If you are building a story with a lot of photos now you may want to consider using Flickr. You can quickly upload a lot of photos to Flickr, make them public, and then easily connect to your Flickr account in the Cascade media picker to add the photos to your story.

I work in Local Government. We don't have a Flickr account, and to set one up is a big deal for public records. So, this is a bigger deal than you might expect from working in private industry.

Marcy,

Thanks for the additional information. I can understand the limitations some employers have on using Flickr or other cloud services -- that's one of the reasons we were excited to bring direct photo uploading to Cascade (and eventually our other storytelling apps)! 🙂

We'll work to improve the uploading experience in the future, and please let us know if there are other suggestions/issues you have.

Owen
