GPhotos to NAS

#1
Hi!

i have watched a lot of your videos and you have done one about google photos, but there has not been one to completely migrate from GPhotos. I have scoured the internet and found a couple of things but without a full fledged solution, i have even paid for a service and got nowhere!
the main issue lies with Google's terrible way of extracting the metadata and exif data from the picture and when performing a GTakeout, it puts everything in a JSON file. Now i have used https://metadatafixer.com/, tried and failed with https://gilesknap.github.io/gphotos-sync/main/tutorials/installation.html , and a couple others. is there something that you can do and see for a good solution that you would recommend and make a video about?

anyway, let me know what you think...

Thanks for reaching out, and I appreciate your support! Migrating from Google Photos can indeed be a bit of a challenge, especially with the intricacies of metadata and EXIF data handling. It's frustrating when services don't seamlessly transfer everything as expected.

While I haven't covered a comprehensive solution for migrating from Google Photos yet, it's definitely a topic worth exploring. I'll look into potential solutions and see if there's a reliable method that addresses the metadata and EXIF data issues you've encountered.

In the meantime, have you considered alternatives like Nextcloud for self-hosted photo management? It offers more control over your data and may provide a smoother transition from Google Photos. I can explore this option further if it interests you.
