Migrating from Google Photos to Immich Via Google Takeout
In an ideal world Google Photos, iCloud Photos, MyCloud (Swisscom) and other photo backup solutions would back up your photos into a directory structure that you can access and download from with ease and convenience. Unfortunately non of them want to offer that. That is why finding a workflow to get data out is worthwhile.
Remember, a cloud solution, where you can’t get media files back out, is not a backup solution.
