Just so you know... Google Photos is full of dark patterns. For example there's no way to mass delete pictures. It simply doesn't exist. There's a janky browser script on GitHub that you inject into the page to delete your photos. That's what I had to use when I migrated to OneDrive. And some Android phones are configured to automatically upload to Google Photos to "save space" on the device. I recovered thousands of lost photos for my parents that got deleted from their phones and uploaded to Google without their knowledge. My Dad has been backing up his photos for years, but half were missing from the backup because I found them on Google photos. It took the browser automation script hours to delete all their photos after I got them out. Even worse, when I was trying to remove duplicates from the set, I found that Google alters the metadata of the photos you export. So when you try to compare them you can't use regular diff tools
