So for me this is a "no go" at the moment. Imo there is no problem, to just access the stuff. But loading it to a 3rd party service (TS) is a problem. There are other services that don't treat there customers that way. But needs some more investigation. > One point with Picasa is the surrounding system to show albums etc - > but this is exactly what we don't use when we want it via TW instead. Right. But remember my very fist post [1]. I did implement a TW gallery function allready. The only thing I couldn't do with fancybox plugin [2], was to connect to "picture storage services" like flikr or picasa. Now knowing there API TOS, I don't want to connect with them. But this is my personal point of view. Having a closer look to the concept used for fanxybox, it seems to be right. I did use AttachFilePlugin and attachment tiddlers, to store the needed meta info [3]. May be a bit more / better documentation would make the stuff easier to use. but I'll stick to the concept and have a closer look to other cloud services. > IMO, Google Drive is pretty much all anyone could wish for - or? I did have a short look at the site HTML structure and it seems the "thumbnail view" is a browser resized full version of the picture. At least for my test pics (~30kByte). May be if the pics are bigger, they are replaced by real thumbs. This overview can't be compared to a picture gallery view, it's just a list of files. Technically I'd prefer the picasa API over the drive "File API". It's much less work client side and it's totally different purpose too. > Also, I can imagine that it would be desirable for a TW user to be > able to generate a gallery in TW showing not only pics but also eg a > document or so.

Yea, that's the little problem with threads like this. Starting from the desire, to display a little gallery overview. To be a "document management system" at the end :) That's the reason, why my first reaction was: *thinking: don't touch it.*[1] have fun! mario PS: Atm I don't intend to add more stuff to the picasa gallery spaces. I think the basic online functions work. PPS: The "Authenticated Album" will get a bit more documentation.
