Any plans to make the image picked more expansive so it can use other locations?

    In addition to what others wrote, here’s a practical example:

    I wanted to insert an old photo in a comment, from my Google Photos. The photo doesn’t exist on my device, since it was taken from an old phone. I located the photo in Goolge Photos and downloaded it to my device. Then I went to pick the photo in Sync, but it was neither visible under “recent”, nor in any of the albums. So I had no choice but to scroll thru hundreds of photos to manually look for it, and found it under the original date the photo was taken - which makes sense, but in the previous gallery, my recently downloaded photos would appear at the top.

    I’ve only got a few hundreds of photos so this isn’t a big issue for me, but I can imagine it’ll be a dealbreaker for people with thousands of photos on their device.

      the Google Photos app is actually supposed to be able to hook into the new android media picker, not sure what’s taking them so long
