I used to use “Video Uploader For YouTube”, but now when I go to sign in I get:
" This app is blocked
This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access."
So I’m hoping maybe there’s a different / better app, because I hate the YouTube Studio interface on the website.
Anybody have any recommendations?
I believe you can fix that by allowing access to less secure apps.
Tried that and it didn’t work. It seems the issue has to do with a developer certificate or something.
Curiously, it seems like these don’t exist the way I thought they used to. Has YouTube made it more difficult to provide this service? The Data API seems relatively implementable (for app developers; not saying you should be expected to do this yourself.) What would you be looking to do that YouTube Studio doesn’t do for you?
It’s not as much that I can’t do it with YouTube Studio, but it feels like YouTube is always shuffling stuff around regarding interface design and such. I’m not a “creator” in the professional sense, but rather I use YouTube mostly as a place to put unlisted videos that I share around with small groups of people.
So “drag, drop, add a title quick, walk away” with the app is nice.
I actually started trying to share some of the lower-audience videos with iCloud Drive, but apparently one of the people I shared with said that Apple forced them to register for an iCloud account to access an “anybody with the link” shared video.
I’m really, really trying to dispose of Dropbox for everything other than syncing with the few apps that require it. 
I’m curious if the restrictions on the YouTube API are similar to the ones for Google Photos. If so, that might explain why nobody makes an uploader. I have a personal WordPress site, and I embed albums from Google Photos. The WordPress plugin I use changed in the past few years from “worked out of the box,” to requiring each user to go through a non-trivial process to get his or her own developer credentials (I’m probably using the wrong term) to plug numeric keys into the plugin settings. In the past, the credentials were baked into the plugin, but Google Photos has a limit on the number of API calls a single user’s credentials can make, and all the plugin users would exceed that if everyone used the same credentials.
Yeah - I’ve run into that sort of thing myself. It sucks, and that very well might be the general sort of thing that happened with this app.
If I have to I’ll just do a Fluid or Unite app and try to come up with some automation to streamline things - but this is the sort of thing where I’d be happy to give an enterprising developer a small-ish amount of money if they already had an app that solved my problem.
