Ability to export user photos

We would like to be able to export user photos so that we can import them into other software. At this time, we can only get a list with the file names, and that isn't helpful in this scenario.

    This idea has been around for about 5 years. I can't understand if the photo is an actual file what is the problem with exporting that file. The file was uploaded and therefore should be able to be downloaded as a file. Please look into this as it is a major issue, as Tamara pointed out, what is the purpose of a database if the data cannot be extracted.

    Yes, this is outrageous that we are putting data into our database that cannot be exported out! Now that I know I can't export, it makes me not want to store the photos in the database, or I will have to store them twice...one in Blackbaud, and one on a hard drive. The whole point of a database is to have everything together in one place.

    Seems odd that we can create lists with photos, but we can't export the list with the photos. I appreciate that there's work on the back end, but it feels like the work is more than halfway done.

    I would like to be able to export the photos to lists we use for quarterly all-student meetings.  Patty Boman

    We have a number of integrations with services like REACH and Naviance and if photos cannot be pulled as part of the integration there needs to be a way to export user photos (ideally one of the options being from a list) so they can be more easily imported.

    I vote for this as well.  It would be a huge help and save us tons of time!

    I vote for this as well. We have the photos obviously, we had to upload them, but we need to be able to export them along with relevant student data.
