Hello @Midhunnileshwar 

I wonder have we ever interacted? Maybe not yet. Anyway nice to E-meet you here on connect. Thank you for your enthusiasm of wanting to improve Google maps and to contribute 360• photosphere.

Yes !!! 360° photos,photosphere etc. I was one time very eager to contribute 360° photos as well. Infact I had all the badges required on that side of Google maps. Nevertheless the program got separated and the app taken away as well. I'm happy my.badge is still there on my profile here on connect.

Your post is nice,but you either forgot to mention the app or method you used to upload the 360 easily and maybe free of charge otherwise you planned not to mention it. Anyway just an observation and interactions with you 

Happy guiding 

Cheers
