So I started the Google Takeout process because I want to move my photos from Google Photos to Immich.

Google emailed me saying the archives are ready… uh… I have to download 81 zip files, each 2GB big… 😬

Is there an easy way to download all of these files? Or do I have to click “download” 81 times and hope the downloads don’t get interrupted?

    Do it again, but select 50GB chunks. This will produce fewer files.

    Use immich-go to do the importing.

        Ah, maybe the max was 20GB for zip. I’d just do the max available for zip.

        For .tgz files (compressed tar archives), you’ll need to decompress all the files into a single folder before importing. Then use the command immich-go upload from-google-photos /path/to/your/files.
