Honestly, I hope that someone who cares about this will write an addon for Google Photos so that users can have an addon that get's the proper love it deserves

Thanks for the response @ruuk. I finally managed to access my content on Google Photos using the gdrive add-on ... it works fairly well, but does not support Albums as far as I can tell ... neither local albums nor shared albums from other users. It still gets the job done though.

I too hope that somebody creates a dedicated Google Photos add-on for Kodi now that PicasaWeb is being deprecated. Google Photos is quite magnificent ... I highly recommend it Perhaps by using it you may find the will to tackle it as a new add-on, since you're probably the most qualified developer to do so at this time.
