Google fotos - App Blocked

[alexeyp0708]

I can't use Google Fotos for images.
When I try to upload an image to Google fotos, I am prompted to log in through my Google account, and Google says App Blocked- This application tried to access sensitive information...

I tried to add a google Fotos account, but the result is the same with Oauth - App Blocked.

At the same time, adding a Google Drive account is successful.

I think the image should be added via Google Drive. Technically, it is possible to embed an image via an iframe.
If such an option is available in the Google Drive API, then I think it would be better to implement this option.

To circumvent this (because Google can change their policies anytime) it would be great to allow upload from local file (with a link to a folder on your computer).

This feature is only available for Chrome extensions.

Stackedit installs as a Chrome application. And each application has its own isolated disk space.
The security policy prohibits access to the computer's local storage.

Therefore, all developers can do is store images in isolated storage. And relative paths will be searched first in isolated storage, and then in the cloud folder of the saved document. At the same time, all files associated with the document must be synchronized with the cloud.

But there is a problem with directly accessing images in Google Drive.

Therefore, the best option for storing MarkDown files is GitHub, GitLab, etc.
