There's https://github.com/mholt/timeliner https://github.com/mholt/timeliner that will use the API, but realize a bunch of tags (including GPS lat/lon and captured time) will be stripped, and videos will be very low resolution. If you want your metadata tags intact-ish, Google Takeout seems to be the only way now, but they still downsample and muck with metadata. I'm now using syncthing (open source) and Resilio Sync (closed source) on my freeNAS and Ubuntu server to pull original photos and videos from our smartphones onto spinning rust, and then use PhotoStructure (disclaimer, I'm the author) to browse and share them.
