Used Google Takeout to get all my photos from Google Photos. Right now I’m downloading 18 zip files, 2 GB each. Then I have to put together the file structure so I can put it together somewhere else. Very messy process.

Open to suggestions on how to deal with this. Meanwhile, I’ll copy all this in a couple of hard drives. #degoogle

@ojala need help? I just a script which copies all files from the subdirectories in one big target directory. Adds timestamp if filennames are duplicate. Afterwards delete meta data by filetype. Then on top put a photo app of your choice. (Here Linux plus gthumb)

@whopper After putting together all the zip files I used this script https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper/releases but I still got some issues with timestamps, mostly for videos.

Do you have an alternative, better behaved script?
