Hello, I recommend having each user login with their Google account so you can upload their photos on their own account. That way you can avoid having to worry about access control for photos across accounts on your server and your users will be able to access their photos outside of your application.
If you're writing code for logins, you should use the most well-supported authentication method, which at this point in Oauth2. You can try it yourself here: https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ The Photos API is here: https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol and you can familiarize yourself with that code. There are some links toward the top that can help with authentication, also.
