    Is there a way to import photos to the Media Library from Google Photos? If so, how? If not, what’s the best way to get them there?

    Thanks in advance,
    Tina

    The short answer is – not easily, you would likely have to download them from Google Photos and re-upload them to Media Library (if you would like the media hosted in WordPress).

    The long answer is that you could extend WordPress to do this – by producing a plugin that enables this functionality. Google Photo’s uses the Picasa Web Api. Google have published some developer documentation on interacting with the Picasa Web API using PHP. As with all things that involve coding, you should determine if this is right for you, and what your return on investment will be if you put in the effort, or pay for someone else to do this for you.
