Upload multiple photos from Google Photos

Question

The goal is to be able to select multiple photos from Google Photos on an Android device and upload them using a regular html file input control.

I am able to select multiple photos but only one is uploaded...

Using the Gallery I am able upload multiple photos. Any idea why?

Here is a tester: https://jsfiddle.net/7sL1v46e/

<input id="fileInput" type="file" multiple accept="image/*">

When multiple files are selected the number of selected files appears in front of the file input.

EDIT 1: included the attribute accept="image/*". Still doesn't work if source of the photos is Google Photos

Answer 1

You should specify the input types you want to accept. For whatever reason, this makes everything work as expected.

<input type="file" id="images" multiple accept="image/*" />
