Where is contact tag data saved in Google Drive/photo?


I'd like to make an app that allows my organization to add custom tags on top of what's provided in Google Drive/Google Photos. Google photos creates custom albums for each of your contacts, and when you take a new picture, it automatically tags contacts in photos. Where is that data stored? Looking at the Google Drive Rest API for Files (https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files?hl=en), it doesn't appear to be anywhere. What I'd ultimately like to do is filter the photos in my Google Drive account by contact. Is that possible? Thanks!


Solution

  • Google photos are stored in the drive containers but the photos data is still stored in the old Picasa infrastructure. you can try with the Picasa api
