  Hi there,
  Seems that this service literally copies the photos onto the server to use.

  Google Photos

  
  Why not just make them available to display, using the Google Photo URL, like this image https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/JgZNnIcJAosiMLf34EyKpxV5xZWFzmt3FFce94AlaR7YSab0bThuHhe-5QL49gzcgC7dkOSAXWCHGdA76J45OFfoD2ekV2jnVcoZ1vkzeYoBBsPHSkHIlnmpw9JUzJ8EfXSTRgGbjk4u8NjsiJ0WjcN5j6zHFrmXjJgQFx7WYwdCoJBvdfQMdx4IAuW23TxHISF3mQwIP4Z4uvRf6BJXHBSwGdUI9zU31V5NWklU6KoUGIJHwomPDS4l8CfeqGpia_TIZnoqecdMeW3EFODuchLoyAgjsdjAjQ_nwpia-kYQEzTUuyAr95pKSaR3AdZLSMmkyl0u_FHaPNfqyOxLJzNVk023lck-Ofop9rKmPVDiDBg7FfLO7206GQCX-2Y3dXCgRM2o25iCRhF-o0C00XlYqRu6_5k5toXor1P490Do_iIIV5uBMELDUm01adOYhecMdwht87kaqQbyNNnmtkPBxHfZJtU6Id1kTR1Zd4IyMn6rAG1aHTUIvJHlliR2nFBjmBOUbqesRe5iPOzfMOERNHrw_uB0A_L9UIvjz088R-IekRobqtV5HSaa6wqEnntfoT1Pk9fL0zB-zh6K8Zoo8HSkNP5jCBY5mcp7VIqnQbPz4BX5aJtAZyzpZuQg7UM_K0Uej0OAPnF_9S-yfAcb4Nm4BTAPVQHFNDoE9x4SsdA8jX5ZfGSg=w1782-h1336-no that I just imported to my site craiglambie.com
  Faster, less server space and intensity required. Less traffic for copying etc.

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  It works better this way due to the way WordPress.com is designed. Images need to be stored in the Media Library for the galleries, slideshows, and featured images to work properly.
