I don't believe the claim about EXIF location data is accurate -- please see my comment above.

  That’s good, but the part about losing access to the original files, if true, is a deal-breaker.

    In theory you can download them all via Takeout but that tends to stop working for huge image libraries. Seems like the only way might be via web scraping.

    I'm not certain that's true either (if "Original Quality" is turned on[1]) but haven't tested it. That said, I personally only use Google Photos as a sharing site and do archiving offline. [1] https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791 https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791

      Sorry, I should've mentioned this problem applies to images downloaded via API
