I happily pay for YouTube Premium.

I'm unhappy that I'm paying for Gsuite (or whatever it is called these days). I don't think there is a way to downgrade your account tied to your own domain to a free google account? If there is, I'll def do that and. I already use Fastmail anyway but there are too many stuff tied to my Google account (logins, google drive data etc)

Google drive data is probably the easiest part to get out.

I found out it was much more annoying to do the same for google photos. My partner created a tons of albums and last time I had a look at the google export you'd have to build your own parser to scrap the metadata and rebuild the albums locally. I wonder if someone already build this.

This might help: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper

This is useful thanks although the goal of this tool is to put all photos in chronologically ordered folders. It doesn't seem to yet be able to recreate albums either by using folders and symlinks or (preferrably) adding tags in the exif metadata.

I'll give it a try with takeout again.
