Use narrower Google Photos API scope

Open adamberson opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Based on the intended use-case of the app, I suspect you only need to use the "photoslibrary.appendonly" scope (and maybe the "photoslibrary.readonly.appcreateddata" scope to read files that the app has uploaded.)

However, I see the app is requesting essentially full read/write rights of my google photos via the "photoslibrary" scope.

The only reason I can figure for this is that the app wants to check to see if an album exists already before creating a new one. Personally, I'd prefer to not have that particular feature in order to have the app have narrower access to my photos account.
