Could we add a new tool that would be a collection of all the photos across assets? Basically a photo library that shows the asset the photo is linked to? This would allow us to add photos to the correct asset, but be able to get a quick visual view of a site as well.
This would be very helpful when trying to talk someone through someone onsite or getting an overview of what is in place at a site.

So just to note on this, as we dealt with the same issue. I created an asset called "Locations". In it, we keep the physical address of the client's office, even if it's a single office business.
All photos, being the physical items they are, are bound to the Locations asset as opposed to say "photo of the server" attached to the "server" asset...because that doesn't make much sense.
Photos gives you the ability to caption them (not super keen on how this works, I think the caption would be better served
above
the photo, not below it. Would be nice to hover over a picture and have the caption pop out in context, so we don't have to open every photo to see captions). So detailing where the items are within the "Location" asset isn't much of a problem.My service manager kept uploading photos of modems and routers to "Network" assets we created to track LAN configurations and such. That was problematic, as was tagging them on the assets related to the physical items themselves because then you'd have to hunt to find a photo you knew you uploaded.
Just putting them all in "Locations" worked, and now we add the "Location" asset as a Related Asset so there's a quick link to all photos.
Being able to "move" photos from "asset" to "asset" would be nice, so if a "photos tool" to view the full collection becomes available we can move them back to a more 1to1 relationship with their devices.
Also would love to see pop out captions when hovering over photos, as mentioned above. It does show a caption under the photo, but it gets cut off rather quickly.

It would be nice to have an area to add photos... Such as site photos or documentation under assets for a cabinet, servers, etc.

That sounds awesome - we do so much remote support these days especially since covid, and photos are absolutely essential for this.

Just to "upvote" my own request. I had a call from a company today and really needed to find where we documented photos of an ISP modem. Was that under ISP account? Server room pics? I had to go digging through each asset to find the photo.
I'm dreaming of a "tool" that organizes all photos across all assets in one photo gallery view, grouped by asset.
Wouldn't that be amazing?!
