Great now I just need Google's export/data migration feature to actually work.

Hey, you can use Ente's desktop app[1] to import the archives you export via Google Takeout. The app stitches together metadata with their original files so you'll have your library in one-piece.

use google takeout.

I'd guess that the emphasis in OP's reply was on 'actually work'.

In case it's useful, here's the solution that worked for me the last time I tried it:

1. Takeout to Google Drive :grimace:

2. rclone from Google Drive

But I do this around once a year, and the last few times there are new roadblocks every time.
