The only semi-sensible way I can work out how to get sphere photos (to use as 360 panoramas in google street view/iGuide) is to download the spherical image from the drone to my phone then airdrop to my mac.
This produces two jpgs for some reason, one with the filename starting in "Photo" and the other "RemoteMediaFile", both are 4096x2048 and only 2.2/2.4mbs respectively and the latter looks like the colours have been saturated with the blacks crushed etc.
Can someone please tell me if there's a way of getting a larger resolution image/larger file size or is it really only supposed to be 2.4mbs for a spherical image??

I take the 360 Panorama selecting raw + jpeg then take the 26 raw images and load them into a program called Panorama Studio Pro and if you save on the highest quality the image is about 700mb and excellent quality. You can download a trial version at https://www.tshsoft.com/en/index

Save the sphere from the Fly app and then use the street view app to upload,   Works nice but you will have to manually locate it on he map.

Seems mad that you have to pay US$80 for a third-party program... is there no free way of doing it?

That's what I've been doing, but it's a tiny file size. 2MB per image seems like a waste when it's taking so many high quality pics - anyone know of a way for DJI to stitch it so it's high res?

Street view will downscale anything much bigger anyway.

The thing is I'm also looking to host it on high quality sites, is there really no way of getting a high quality image through DJI???

TLDR for anyone that's found this same issue - there still doesn't seem to be a way of getting a high resolution image through DJI, you need to spend time with a third party software which can be $$ if you're not on Windows, or even more time on free software.
