Implementations relate to automatic sharing of images with designated users over a communication network. In some implementations, a method includes causing display of images in a user interface on a first device, each of the images depicting a different person. The images are obtained from a library of images associated with a first user. A selection of a particular image of the images is received based on user input, and a person identifier is determined indicating a particular person depicted in the selected image. The person identifier is designated as a person sharing criterion. A first image not included in the images is obtained and programmatically analyzed to determine that the first image depicts a person that matches the person sharing criterion, and an access permission is updated to grant access to the first image to a second user of a second device over a communication network.

Automatic image sharing with designated users over a communication network

Implementations relate to causing a command to be executed based on an image. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining and programmatically analyzing an image to determine suggested actions. The method causes a user interface to be displayed that includes user interface elements corresponding to default actions, and to suggested actions that are determined based on analyzing the image. The method receives user input indicative of selection of a particular action from the default actions and the suggested actions. The method causes a command to be executed by a computing device for the particular action that was selected.

Implementations relate to sharing images and image albums over a communication network. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining that a shared album data structure is accessible by a device and includes references to album images. The device determines one or more suggested images from a collection of stored images associated with a user, based on determining sharing scores for the stored images. The sharing scores are based on comparing one or more characteristics of the stored images to one or more corresponding characteristics of the album images. The method includes causing display of the one or more suggested images by the device, receiving a selection of at least one selected image of the suggested images based on received user input, and causing an update of the shared album data structure with the at least one selected image to be accessible over a communication network by recipient users.

Implementations relate to removal of one or more images from a view of a plurality of images. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a plurality of images, programmatically analyzing the plurality of images to determine a plurality of image features, and determining one or more image categories for the plurality of images based on the image features. The method further includes identifying a subset of the plurality of images based on the image categories, wherein each image of the subset is associated with an image category for archival. The method further includes causing a user interface to be displayed that includes one or more images of the subset, receiving user input to archive at least one of the one or more images, and in response to the user input, removing the at least one of the images from a view of the plurality of images.

Image archival based on image categories

A computer-implemented method includes capturing, with a camera, a first image of a physical item at a first camera position, detecting borders associated with the physical item, based on the first image, generating an overlay that includes a plurality of objects that are positioned within one or more of the borders associated with the physical item, capturing, with the camera, subsequent images of the physical item, where each subsequent image is captured with a respective subsequent camera position, and during capture of the subsequent images, displaying an image preview that includes the overlay. The method further includes establishing correspondence between pixels of the first image and pixels of each of the subsequent images and generating a composite image of the physical item, where each pixel value of the composite image is based on corresponding pixel values of the first image and the subsequent images.

Generating a composite image from a physical item

Implementations generally relate to storing content items. In some implementations, a method includes receiving content items on a mobile device. The method includes storing the content items on local storage on the mobile device. The method includes determining available local storage capacity of the mobile device. The method includes uploading content items to secondary storage, and selecting content items to remove from the local storage or add to the local storage based on predetermined criteria, for example, when the available local storage capacity meets a threshold available local storage capacity.
