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?

    I recently went through the same process. Luckily only 6 zip files, and all but one (the one with my emails) were pretty much empty.

    What really pissed me off: because i didnt log in with my current device to google yet, after i let google create the takeout it came to me like “ehh i dont know this phone yet, better wait a week to download”
    A week later: “ohh seems like we only store takeouts for a week, guess you gotta do it again :(”
    Rinse, repeat, and after 3 weeks, i could finally get the only thing i cared about anyway: my mails
