Downloads all Photos from given Google account to a local directory
The Photos will be automatically grouped in subfolders per year and month
In 2019, Google decided to remove the possibility to sync Google Photos with Google Drive. There exist several cloud solutions which aim to fill that gap. But the solutions I tried are either not free or incredibly slow.
So I created this tiny utility to download all Google Photos to a local directory - which of course could refer to a folder synced with Google Drive ;-)
usage: GooglePhotosDownloader -targetdir <directory> -username <google user name> [options]
arguments:
-targetdir Directory where the downloaded files will be stored to
-username google username
-reauthenticate add this argument when you receive a 401 error
Example: GooglePhotosDownloader.exe targetdir "G:\Google Fotos" username [email protected]
