We know how it goes. You’re working on that killer presentation or document and want to add images to go with your work…but lo and behold you can’t seem to find the right stock photo, or any picture that’s suitable. Oh, for the love of god, why would anyone use these images for anything?
On that note, Google is extending its stock image library for Google Drive — which includes its Docs products as well as cloud storage — and the search giant wants you to help pick the contents.
The company has a deal in place with Getty Images-owned Thinkstocks.com and is crowdsourcing the content, giving users the chance to nominate ten photos from the archive site that they’d like to see added to Google’s collection.
Google says it will use the ideas to “create and curate the next generation of our stock image library.”
