Works Great for Gmail (with workaround)
Great App! Did the trick and downloaded a few thousand photos from my Gmail (no wonder I nearly have 14GB used)
For the current version of this App, it will not log into Gmail if it has “Access for Less Secure Apps” set to OFF (which is the default).
To get the current version of Lost Photos Version 2.0 (2274) to work with Gmail:
- Click on the Settings Icon (cog) on the top right.
- Select Settings.
- Select the "Accounts and Import” tab.
- Select “Other Google Account Settings” under Change Account Settings.
- Select “Connected Apps & Sites” under Sign In & Security.
- Scroll to the bottom and toggle “Allow Less Secure Apps” to ON & leave that web page open while you scan.
- Run Lost Photos App for Gmail.
- Go make a sandwich.
- Once completed, go back to that web page and toggle it back to OFF.
- Browse the ludicrous amount of photos you forgot you even had.
Hopefully they will update the app to be more secure soon so we won’t have to do this every time we want to run the app. But since I don’t need to run this app very often, its not a huge deal to take the steps to disable the security for an hour while the app runs.
