@ -630,3 +630,22 @@ Rclone cannot delete files anywhere except under `album`.
### Deleting albums
The Google Photos API does not support deleting albums - see [bug #135714733](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135714733).
## Making your own client_id
When you use rclone with Google photos in its default configuration you
are using rclone's client_id. This is shared between all the rclone
users. There is a global rate limit on the number of queries per
second that each client_id can do set by Google.
If there is a problem with this client_id (eg quota too low or the
client_id stops working) then you can make your own.
Please follow the steps in [the google drive docs](https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id).
You will need these scopes instead of the drive ones detailed:
```
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.appendonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly.appcreateddata
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.edit.appcreateddata
```
