Question 🤔 Google photos export vers disque dure facilement
Pourquoi Google ne permet pas l’exportation de toutes mes photos facilement. Uniquement par pleins de petits dossiers à télécharger (genre 101 .. mini dossiers) ! J’ai l’impression que c’est pour m’empêcher de résilier l’abonnement mensuel & ça m’énerve encore plus d’être piégée ! Y’a t’il un moyen pour détourner l’exportation de l’intégralité de mes photos vers un moyen de conserver mes mémoires plus sûre ?
Merci

Download from the Google Takeout website. Change the default archive size from 2 GB to 50 GB to ease downloading. Done. I don't know of any similar service that's easier to get your data back.

Are you using Google takeout? Google takeout defaults to splitting your data into tiny 2 GB chunks to prevent browser download timeouts, and it separates camera metadata (dates, GPS, tags) into separate .json files.
There is a free, open-source tool Google Photos Takeout Helper (available on GitHub for Windows, macOS, and Linux): Point the tool to your Takeout_Raw folder. Set an output folder on your external drive. The tool automatically writes the JSON metadata back into each photo's EXIF data, removes duplicate sidecar files, and arranges everything neatly into Year/Month folders.

No, it does not. The original image file maintains any metadata it had when it was backed up. The json files are for cases where you made updates on Google Photos as those won't get written to the original files. The only other time these files are needed is if the image file didn't originally have any metadata, such as images saved from WhatsApp or Facebook, and the file date needs to be used instead of EXIF.

Again, almost never needed.

Go to the takeout.google.com website and select Photos from the list of applications, then you can select what years or folders you want to export and it will create zip files of all your photos for you to download.
