The developer is not interestet making the plugin work for ALL users. The description
for Onedrive is wrong and the developper does not answer my question. ARE YOU NOT
ABLE TO GIVE A SIMPLE STEP BY STEP DESCRIPTION????? I would give 5 stars…

“Description Below NOT TRUE” Import files from or create external links from third-
party services into WordPress Media Library (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive
and any other external file from URL). IMPORTANT: This feature will become obsolete
in the free version. If you would like to import media from any URL you would have
to download Premium version.

### 󠀁[No google photos](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-google-photos/)󠁿

 [mibelib](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mibelib/) December 8, 2020

Since google walled google photos from google drive, the plugin doesn’t make sense
anymore. Instructions on adding google picker almost perfect. Thus more than one*

El plugin funciona bien, aunque deja mucho que desear ya que solo te permite importar
imagenes de tu nube como drive, etc. Siento que eso no le da sentido al plugin, 
me gustaria poder usar directamente imagenes de google drive y no tener que importarlas
antes.
