Feature Request: Auto-share uploaded media and retrieve public links

[Deepajothika]

Feature Request

I would like to request a feature that automatically shares uploaded media publicly and returns the public link for each uploaded file.

Use Case

This would be useful for scenarios where users need to:

• Automatically make uploaded photos accessible via public links
• Integrate uploaded media into external applications or websites
• Share media programmatically without manual intervention through the Google Photos web interface

Proposed Implementation

The feature could work in the following ways:

For Python Client:

from gpmc import Client

client = Client(auth_data=auth_data)
output = client.upload(target=path, share_publicly=True, return_public_link=True)

print(output)
# Expected output format:
# {
#     "/absolute/path/to/media_file.jpg": {
#         "media_key": "google_photos_media_key",
#         "public_link": "https://photos.app.goo.gl/xxxxx"
#     }
# }

For CLI:

gpmc "/path/to/media_file.jpg" --share-public --auth_data "..."

Additional Considerations

• This could be an optional flag/parameter (disabled by default) to maintain current behavior
• Could optionally support batch sharing for multiple files

Alternatives Considered

Currently, users would need to manually share each photo through the Google Photos web interface after upload, which is time-consuming for bulk uploads.
