I am trying to import a photolayer created using the ArcPhoto plugin for ArcMap. The closest that I have gotten is exporting the photolayer as a shapefile and then uploading that to the online explorer. The problem then becomes that the shapefile does not reference the photo file. Any ideas other than use picassa etc?

Thanks!

Adam,

it depends on what you want to do. By default the photo is stored as an inline raster field inside the file geodatabase. That is something a shapefile cannot do. So when you uncheck the managed option in the UI then the tool adds a reference/location of the photo on disk but not the image itself. This understanding of where the photo is located can be exported into a shapefile. However at that point you (as the user) need to copy the shapefile and the photos and ensure that the referenced location stays in sync.
