Loading images from Google Photos on self-hosted site

[ad_1]

For times when I’m on the road with a very slow connection, it would be ideal if I could pull images directly into my site’s Media Library from Google Photos rather than from my local storage (my phone syncs to GP when I’m out and about so the images are already in GP by the time I want to create a post). I have a [WordPress.com](http://WordPress.com) hosted site, and it lets me connect directly to my GP account and load images perfectly, but I also have a self-hosted WP site, and that feature is not available.

I looked into this months ago and it was suggested I try Jetpack and also NextGen, but neither ended up delivering that feature.

Note – I’m not looking for a way to present images from GP on pages/posts in galleries; I do see several plugins for that. I simply want to have a way to pull images into the Media repository for the site, from which I can then use standard editor tools to add images to my posts/pages.
