The specification says that the photo IDs refer to images on disc.  How do you transfer those images to family echo?  Can you upload a zip file containing all of the images?  Can you specify a URL where the images can be found instead?

As far as I can tell the picture link in the FamilyScript spec has not been implemented on Family Echo.

One thing you might consider is to use a free website service like Google Sites to create a simple web page displaying or linking to the the images.  Then point to the web page in the Website field on the person's Contacts tab.

Here is a videos about Google Sites.

Somewhat simpler would be to create a document with your favorite word processor that contains all the stuff you want to share.  Save it as a pdf file.  Upload the pdf file to a cloud service like Google Drive.  You can then link to that file as mentioned above.

Once you link to the website or pdf there will be a [Show xxxxx"s website] button on the side panel. Click on it to display the docs or pics etc.

Can the photos be added if you use GEDCOM, since in GEDCOM you can specify a link to the photo?
