google-photos-exif VS ente

Not right now, sorry!

There's this tool that can fix capture times: https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif

There are perhaps more that I'm unaware of.

This guide tells you to delete the JSON file that are crucial for both geotag info and in general EXIF.

I don’t recall the script I used last time, but GitHub is pretty full of good Samaritans, eg: https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif

I'm doing the same thing right now. To get the metadata from the JSON files applied to the photo's EXIF data, I'm using this: https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif

A couple of GitHub repos have helpful tools to assist with EXIF data. In particular, I used https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif which worked for me, but YMMV.

If it is a single backup. Just use Google Takeout and tools like google-photos-exif.

No kidding! I was trying to fix them all manually (48GB worth) using https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif, and exiftool.

I did google takeout to download all originals. A lot of the photos had json files that contained the exif data. I used this tool to merge the metadata into the image files. Once done, I dragged all the photos into the photos app on Mac and let it do its thing

Google takeout, then use this tool to sort out the json files with the images, transfer to iPhone then just wait for iCloud to upload

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

> How does one get their data out of the cloud ente.io - and into a self hosted instance of the server? Is there any data loss during this process?

Just to jump in cause I was curious myself. I think your question is answered here:

"Command Line Utility for exporting data from Ente"
