Biggest opportunity: Add “picasa” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Mike Clayton11.0y ago
The FAQ says you need an account but ‘currently it is free’. Inside the plugin, the account sign-up links go to 403 errors. When you go to file picker’s website to sign-up, it is currently (early Nov 2015) only free for a 10 day trial period. I thought this was a great solution to working on my site from a slow connection in a hotel, but a waste of time downloading. I am sure it works well if you do pay, but my need does not warrant that. The misleading FAQ wasted my time – hence the low rating.
