Please, I need help.
A few weeks ago I found that great System, "Gallery", perfect. The only thing I need to do is to create albums, insert photos (as it is now) but import them from an external URL - not upload them.
My webspace is not so large, so I'd like to publish the photos with Adobe Creative Cloud or any other cloud, however, I have the links that look like "http://blablabla.com/uploads/album4873/IMG57455.jpg". So, what I want to do is to insert like importing that link to create an album with the photos in it. The user should not see anything, should not do anything, just stay on the site and watch the photos.
The advantage would be that the traffic for the webhost is not so hard and it does not need so much space.
Till now (after two days of searching the web for solutions) I did not find anything that could solve that problem.
Maybe you know a possibility to do so?
Thank you very much,

G2 has the items links module. G3 has the item_iframes module.

Thank you very much, but the module you told me, in my case item_iframes, is not very friendly to use, to insert photos very fast of other sources.
However, if I need to there is this possibility, if anyone knowing something more user-friendly, please let me know.
Thank you very much, Dave.

As Dave said, G2 is probably a better choice for this, as G3 doesn't yet have this capability.

Give me some pointer on how to make it more user friendly.
G3 was designed to how your photos on your website not somebody's photos on your website.

I think that has nothing to do if I'd show mine or others, it has something to do with the source, where the photos come from. A web space with some megabytes of space is very cheap one with ten gigabyte is very expensive. A cloud space of ten gigabyte costs nothing. So having all photos on one webhost is very easy to handle but often the speed of the space, the traffic, etc. is limited. So why not hosting the photos on other cloud spaces, the traffic is no problem anymore and the speed of the website has nothing to do with the speed of the photos.
I don't think that this way is such a bad idea, and it really has nothing to do if I want to show mine or others photos, sorry
An idea about how to make it more user-friendly?
Maybe you know WordPress, if I want to "import" a photo by another url, I just type in the url, all the rest stuff, if possible, I can do later, but even if I don’t do that, it works well so that I can use it without problems. Something very near to that would be the perfect way managing that.
However, thank you very much

You could probably modify http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:aws_s3 to do what you want.

If the aws_s3 module is not what your after you could write a module to get your cloud space items.
