GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper VS documentation

Download from Google takeout only. For each photo, takeout downloads 2 files-a json file containing its metadata and the actual file itself. Now to fix this issue we'll make use of both the files using the script given below: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper Run this script recursively until all your photos have their dates corrected. dm in case u r stuck on any step

So for the past several hours I have been utilizing Google Takeout so that I can upload my photos directly into iCloud, sort of a backup space for my photos. I downloaded the files, extracted them, and then used the Google Photos takeout helper to help sort through everything. everything was done and I was ready for things to begin backing up to iCloud but it now won’t back up anything because it doesn’t support folders and only wants JPEG files.

There's also this one, but it didn't work with my external drive for some reason: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper

Here is a free utility + guide for windows (Edit, it seems there are instructions for Mac too, but you have to use the terminal) , but uploading to iCloud on windows isn’t suggested, doing it in Mac is significantly easier.

Have you tried managing the takout with this?

Invidious, it's privacy front-end to youtube (open-source ofc). Check which instance fits you: https://github.com/iv-org/documentation/blob/master/Invidious-Instances.md

In some countries that are not modern, developed liberal democracies and don't have guaranteed civil liberties, the right of free speech, and privacy laws, government authorities might investigate and prosecute users connecting to the types of sites you mentioned and other types of sites if the government has outlawed or blocked them e.g., BBC News, SkyNews, YouTube, etc., which is exactly why users in such countries use Tor to connect to clearnet and legitimate onion sites — to circumvent blocking and evade detection and prosecution (note: some users of Tor in any type of country predictably might choose an Invidious Instance to watch online videos.)

Use Tor Browser to preserve your online anonymity and privacy and to evade tracking by Facebook, Google, and other legal or illegal trackers. Invidious example: in list, connect to any link, e.g, this link. In the search bar, enter Queen of England and press . Take you pick of videos about Queen of England across multiple pages. No tracking. No ads. Privacy.

Hi. You might want to check Invidious’ FAQ. It answers your question (spoiler: no). Next time, you might want to refer to a project's documentation before asking Reddit to do this for you. ;)
