To use the cloud features of Square Orb Gallery (such as Google Photos import or Adobe Lightroom CC integration), you need to establish a secure connection between your WordPress site and these services. This is done through “developer accounts,” which serve as a digital bridge, ensuring that only your specific website can access your private cloud assets.

Why Do I Need a Developer Account?

Cloud services like Google and Adobe protect your personal photos and data behind high-security gates. To let your website “talk” to these services, you must register your site as an official application. By creating a project in their respective Developer Consoles, you receive unique keys (Client IDs and Secrets) that identify your site as a trusted entity.

Without these, your website has no permission to request your media, and the cloud services will deny any attempts to connect for security reasons.
