I don't think it is useful to "remove" options as several users might
have entered all their images into the gallery using Flickr, and now
GooglePhotos - before Picasa.

Additionally the option to have a way to present external galleries
enabled Mahara Portfolio owners to reduce the necessary webspace and the
controls (access to those spaces - and with it the legal requirements
i.e. GDPR for those spaces) Now by having those options no more
available also the legal obligations are 100% laying by those Mahara
instance owners instead by Flickr/Picasa/Google or Apple Photos etc. and
as a plus they will need a lot more of space available to host all those
images and videos themselves. As Mahara until now has no way to process
and reduce image space i.e. by integrating a way to reduce the image
sizes which get uploaded to a max pixel size and of course by
compressing the images i.e. by using a web service like
http://www.resmush.it (check the Wordpress plugin)

https://github.com/artisansweb/image-optimizer - that might be pretty
useful here!

I would definitely vote for continuing the integration of web image spaces - 
especially: 
Flickr
Google Photos
Apple Photos

for integrating single images but also for integrating albums and
galleries provided by those services. It makes live much much easier for
Mahara Portfolio owners!

Title:
  Image Gallery Refactor

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The Image Gallery block is out-of-date and in need of a refactor. The external galleries currently supported will need to be investigated as to whether they are still usable.  If they are no longer needed, we will decommission them and we will also decommission the following from the block configuration:
  Remove the options for 'Display images from external gallery'
  Remove the options to display 'Thumbails' (we will now only need "Thumbnails (Square) and Slideshow)
  Remove the 'user photo frame option'
  Remove the 'width' option (we are using gridstack now)
