Google Takeout

Fritz

Does anyone use Google Takout to backup your photos and files?

I submitted a request to download around 30,000 photos (don't know why the number is so high though).

It's already 10 hours and the status still shows on progress.

Anyone knows how to use Rclone to backup from Google Takeout?

No, I use nextcloud for pictures & data sync/share

And here was me thinking Google enters food delivery market; I’m hungry now.

Should be pretty fast. Especially if you disable the gdrive download & pull that separately

Yes, I want to use both of them. Feels safe.

I use Google Takeout, to take out my enemies.

I have successfully backup my Photos from Google Photos (split into 9 parts in my case).
Took 48 hour for them to prepare these files.

Image is reduced to <5MB.
They keep extension of photo.
Additional JSON created for each photo.

Well, that's annoying. Seeing what size the file is split into over 48 hours is useful and you did the dumbest thing and covered it with silly ducks? eyeroll that isn't personally identifiable data (at least compared to timestamped data), dude.

Lol.

It was 2GB per part.
In total around 18GB.
