[PROJECT] Google Photos integration for dashboard image slide-show

Reading over the Aura frame details, it seems that they have some partnership with Google that is yielding them (continued) special access. Unfortunately, as a community integration, I have no such pull :upside_down_face:

Unfortunately, it seems that this integration -- in its current state -- will stop working end of day tomorrow, as Google is pulling the authorization scope currently used. The new/remaining APIs/scopes allow for temporary shared access to selected photos (for a week), and for applications to have access to photos/albums that the application itself has created/uploaded. Plausibly this could be addressed by downloading the photos we get access to, and then re-uploading to an application-created album, but it does not scale well -- it duplicates the storage usage as we are creating our own copy of each photo.

With the new API changes, Google no longer offers a way to grant access to a user's full photos library.

bummer! I loved having this app show a random image on the dashboard

Would it be possible for this to work by creating a URL to an album? ie: share album -> create URL. I know that makes the album public so it's not ideal.. What I'm less sure of is how easy it is for some random person to actually find and view the album.. but, anyway at that point would it work to access the images in it ongoing?
