Google Photos¶
Service discontinued
The Google Photos mount service was discontinued on March 31, 2025, following Google's release of the Photos Picker API and changes to the Library API — under the new API policy, mounting is no longer possible. See the official notice.
To get the account, keys or IDs this needs, see Before you begin in the Google Photos guide for the Windows app.
