SUMMARY
***
Every time I open the "Export to Google Photos" popup, it takes a minute to reload all the albums.
Given there's a "Reload" button, is it possible to disable reloading when the popup is displayed? (re-using the previously known list of albums)
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Export
2. Export to Google Photos

OBSERVED RESULT
It takes 2 minutes to load the export popup as it retrieves the list  of album each single time

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be fast to load, re-using the list of albums from last time and offer to refresh the list manually if needed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Manjaro

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
N/A

Every album that we receive from Google has an Album ID. I would imagine that this Album ID is dynamic and changing. That would be to tested. How many albums do you have on Google Photo? I would like to remind you once again that Google Photo is not a backup, it serves to present images on the web. Images uploaded to Google Photo are re-encoded by Google and metadata is removed when downloaded (GPS).

I never said I was using Google Photos as a backup mechanism and it doesn't matter why I upload to Google Photos (quick share of kids pics with family) for the topic of this bug.
I replied on the one your marked as a duplicate.
