This is why i have setup one of my linux servers to automatically download all photos and videos from my shared google photo albums each night.
This allows me and my wife to easily share photos of our daughter with each other, as well as have a backup of everything we have locally on my NAS.
Next step is to sync this of to several other storage places in case of cryptolocker or the NAS dies.
- faitswulff 6y agoDo you automatically download all of your photos and videos, or just the ones taken during the day?
- Chilinot 6y agoI just software that downloads everything from my google photos albums and then only downloads any changes after that. Like rsync.
- cl3misch 6y agoHow do you access Google Photos from Linux? Is it able to detect only the new pictures?
- kolleykibber 6y agoIt looks like gphotos-sync is the way to do this. Must be new as I was looking for a tool like this a few years ago and nothing existed.
- mtber 6y agoI didn't realize this would be possible. Would you happen to have a guide somewhere?
- ewokone 6y agobump. that's sound a good alternative! please get us a note on how to a(r)chieve that :)
- jsannn 6y agoYou can do it with python - https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync. They have docker image too. I have a cron job that starts the docker container periodically to fetch any new photos.
- ewokone 6y agoi found gphoto sync is suitable for that. https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync/ https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync/
