Comment on Is there a good way to check if all photos on google photos are locally saved on my own phone

If you’re looking for a more sure fire way, don’t use the app/your phone. Go to Google takeout and download all your contents from Photos onto your computer - if you have access to one. They come in zip files, which you can then unpack and store everything on your nextcloud server.

Just be aware that, unless they’ve changed this since I last looked, when you do this it strips out all of the metadata and provides it all in a single file which you would then have to find software to write it back on to every photo (if you want the metadata that is).

Those googly-eyed SOBs! You’re right. I’m planning to migrate my photos to Ente whose upload tool fixes this, I think. But Nextcloud probably will not.
