MyRootsMagic Media files

When creating the MyRootsMagic website check the box for Photos, but not the one “Primary photos only”. That will include the other media.

Thanks Renee, that does make a big difference, I now need to sort out what media should be copied, I now get a message telling me that the data is too great, but I can deal with that.

Thanks once again for all your help/

I had some issues with MyRootsMagic using RM9 and what I remember being told is that it was designed for RM7, so I guess it’s best optimized with that version still? I’m still hoping it gets a refresh to include all the new colours and stuff!

For media, especially documents, I decided to use G Drive since I have such a wide mix of pdfs, pngs, and jpgs. I created a google account for the family trees I wanted to have a website (eg lastname_familytree@gmail…) and upload the relevant media to G Drive that’s organized like I have it on my computer. I think I think I actually have it set to sync with my computer files. Privacy is set to anyone with a link as a “Viewer” (the items are easily found online/genealogy sites already anyway). I have the MRM media gallery off and added a custom link in the settings to the Drive. I might add a single portrait image into RM to upload to the site for the people I have photos of, but for documents and larger family albums, this has been my solution for now :slight_smile:
