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?

    This worked pretty well for me, although constructing the cli command took a little elbow grease. This video proved to be very helpful.

    Here’s the commands I ended up using:

    Testing Upload Process

    Before performing the actual upload, test the process with this command:

    immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -dry-run -google-photos takout-*.zip

    Actual Upload

    Once testing is successful, perform the full upload:

    immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -google-photos takout-*.zip

    Remove Duplicates

    If you’ve previously uploaded photos before syncing your phone, remove duplicates with:

    immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [apikey} duplicate -yes
