use google takeout.
I'd guess that the emphasis in OP's reply was on 'actually work'.
1. Takeout to Google Drive :grimace:
2. rclone from Google Drive
But I do this around once a year, and the last few times there are new roadblocks every time.

Do you provide an easy migration from google photos with full quality? The instructions in the FAQ are a bit vague. Last time I heard about this, Google takeout won’t let you download the full quality images.
no, takeout gives you the full quality. All other ways of accessing your photos from the api (there is some github projects) don't give you the full quality images though. But with takeout the problem is that all dates and metadata gets messed up. I had to learn this the hard way. There is some tools that somehow correct the dates. But it's not perfect and I wouldn't really want my photos to be locked up like that. W…
OneDrive ceased to be a good backup alternative when they stripped GPS from all my photos 1-2 years ago. Unlike Google, there's no way to recover original files. They simply destroyed them.

Hey, a fellow mallu, just wanted to send my appreciation on the product. It literally looks great, my kudos to your illustrator and FE developers. Best wishes!
Why do you have to say this? Why say mallu instead of saying a fellow Indian?

Thank you! We're fans of Immich!
Question: Do you backup changed photos in iOS? How do you backup a slow motion video on iOS? Synology exports, meaning your 240fps video becomes a 30fps video. Immich retains the 240fps.
Just tested out a slow-motion video on iOS, we unfortunately don't retain the transformation.
On the brighter side of things, it's just a transformation. We are retaining the original file as is. So will look into how Immich is handling this format. Thanks for bringing this up!
Hey, Ente's CEO here. We had opensourced our server[1] yesterday, which is perhaps why we are on the front page. Stoked to be here Ente had launched on HN[2] a while ago and has been sustainably growing since. We took the feedback from our Show HN seriously and have since - undergone a cryptography audit [3] - published our replication strategy [4] - added requested features (family plans, collaborative albums and li…
Always good to see some one from this side making to the front page of HN!!

Sales. This must be an American thing. Have never seen any decent discounts on them here in Europe.
In the Netherlands we have them all the time too. Also on Synologys.
I don't really get the business model. An open source stack makes sense for products targeted towards programmers. Out of curiosity I checked Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/plans/storage 9 USD per month gives you 2TB storage (vs. 500GB here) I don't really get what justifies the 4x price (some of the features look like what you can get from a Gallery app like Aves) So it's looking kinda DOA to me. The intersection…
> Most people that back up their pics in ~the cloud~ won't have the technical skills to do self-host
Which is why they are offering a managed service as well. Even people with the technical skills are not always inclined to selfhost.
> With Dropbox I guess you could accomplish the same, but you'd need to encrypt manually. Maybe for people with a lot of dick pics or illegal material this product is worth the 4x price
Privacy is for criminals and storing CSAM, right? Why would you even want Dropbox at this point, Google Drive is all you need. Unless you wanted to help diagnose your child[1] and unfortunately the photo was synchronized to Drive and flagged.
You have every right to expect your photos to stay private. Even if those are just a landscape. Why should you be obligated to have an AI scan them for offending content or scan them to detect who you met and when (surely so they can build a yearly recap for you, how kind!)? Did you ever get consent from everyone on your photos for this sharing and processing?
You may not be interested in E2EE or open source, and that's absolutely fine. But you shouldn't actively undermine it by associating encryption and privacy with crimes.
