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 just clicked download on 3 at a time until I was done. Could it be automated? Sure. But clicking 3 at a time is way faster than figuring it out.

    I HIGHLY recommend immich-go if you haven’t found it yet: https://github.com/simulot/immich-go

    Enjoy immich!! Great self hosting project.

      What advantage does this have over the immich cli? I ask because I’ve never had issues with the built in cli, although I understand it used to be worse.

        Faster batching with better upload duplicate detection and it can preserve your Google photo sets (I didn’t use those though)

          Neat! Definitely a cool project, I just had no issues with any of that with Immich CLI. Thanks for the info!
