Google Photos Manager

Take advantage of Google Photos REST API to:

• Get the total number of albums
• Get the total media items in all of the albums
• Get total number of media items
• Get the media items not included in any albums (some issues with shared media items)

Used OAuth 2.0 Playground to obtain Oauth JWT w/out setting up Google API project using "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly" as a requested scope.

Access token is passed to the GooglePhotoService using -Dtoken=

Issues with shared media items

For a shared album owned by account A, if a media item is added from another account B then its id won't be found in the list of the media items of the account A. If such a shared media item is saved in account A its id won't match the id of the original shared media item added to the shared album. W/out an indicator of some sort to identify if a media item belongs to another account it's challenging to filter them out.
