While we are talking about Google Photos, I'm sure people will be thinking of how to extract their photos from the service. I'd love to be able to recommend rclone here, but the Google API is just too limited for downloading photos: https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations Stripping the metadata and the resolution changes is unacceptable. (The resolution change only seems to affect videos for me but others have seen it on photos too). I know Google engineers will be reading this - please fix the Google Photos API so it can be used to upload and download full quality, unaltered images or videos. I'm certainly getting the feeling that the Google Photos Web app (which is excellent) isn't eating the dog food of the Google Photos API. In the mean time use Google takeout to extract your images.
