Granting Permissions:

- On your computer:
- Visit the Google Photos website.
- Go to Settings.
- Under Sharing, choose the specific apps or services you want to grant access to.
Examples:
- Sharing photos with a social media app: You might allow Facebook access to your Google Photos to share pictures directly.
- Using a photo editing app: An editing app might need access to your photos to import them for editing.
- Using a cloud storage service: A cloud storage service like Dropbox or OneDrive might need access to your photos to backup your library.
Tips:

- Be cautious about granting access to unknown apps: Only grant access to apps you trust.
