  • gphotos-cdp

    This program uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive a Chrome session that downloads your photos stored in Google Photos.

    • As others have said Google Photos backup via RClone has some caveats, mainly not downloading at original quality. Google Takeout does solve this but but in weird hierarchies.

    I stumbled on a new project which simulates a browser download using a headless Chrome Developer tools session[0]. Looks interesting, supports continuation and can be ran on a cron job. Worth a look.

  • docker-gphotos-sync

    A Docker image for synchronizing your original-quality Google Photos

    • Also, see Jake Wharton's Docker GPhotos Sync [0] for a containerized version of this tool. Unfortunately, this method seems to be the easiest way to automate a backup at full quality.
