"High quality" Google photos backups do a reasonable job resizing to 15MP, but they put your metadata into a blender when you try to download via Google Takeout or their API. While you still have your originals from all those laptops and phones and drives, copy your originals onto storage that you own. If you have a mess of duplicates like I did, you're free to use PhotoStructure to dedup and sweep everything into one neat pile on one big drive. It's free during the beta in exchange for your feedback. https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/ https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/
