Any suggestions on the best workflow to export out of Google Photos? I have ~200GB in Google Photos and would need to eg put together the weird Google Photos metadata into usable format for Memories
Google Takeout. Importing from takeout metadata is supported (at least edits to the images; not albums right now)
I tried using Takeout but the exported file structure and various metadata files were almost incomprehensible. This is likely partly my fault because I didn't download the full 100+ zip files, but I suspect there would be so many files scattered in too many directories to be much use.
I found this in an HN comment https://metadatafixer.com/ I haven't used it but it looks pretty promising
