Feature Request: Connect with Online Accounts #124

Open mfreeman72 opened 3 years ago

mfreeman72 commented 3 years ago

I would like to see Pix be able to use Online Accounts the way Gnome Photos does, but with Pix's far superior photo management capabilities.

For example, if I have my Google account linked to the system through Online Accounts, I might find "Online Photos" (or my GMail address the way Nemo handles its Google Drive connection, or simply "Google Photos", if it's possible to make that distinction) listed as a folder/location in the sidebar. Opening this folder/location would show all the photos (and albums, if possible) stored on my Google Photos account in the main window, which I can then edit/save/share.

It might be interesting to be able to share photos back through the Online Accounts system, such as uploading to cloud storage (like Google Drive, in my above example), or through e-mail (like my Google GMail in my above example) either directly through Online Accounts (which would probably require e-mail functionality in Pix, so maybe not this route) or through the assigned e-mail application installed on the computer (like Geary, Thunderbird, Evolution, etc.). Or, if one of the Online Accounts is a social media account (such as Facebook, for example), perhaps it could create a post to share the photo, if this is possible.
