Version 3.0.0 automates downloading using the Google Photos website instead of the Library API. It is a major change. Google announced in September that the Google Photos Library API would no longer allow "accessing albums and media items not uploaded by your app" after March 31. A benefit is the photos downloaded are now the original size. Also, the location data is included if it is shared with you. See how Google Photos protects your location data.
