I’m trying to decide how to import my Google Photos Takeout backup. I see two general ways:

  • Import it by uploading it to Immich (immich-go, etc.)
  • Add it as an External library

Has anyone done it one way or the other? Any recommendation, pros/cons or gotchas?

    Jumping in to second immich-go, just used it recently. I had no issues other than Google Photos not giving me the data for shared albums (most of mine), which seems to be a Google Takeout issue.

      Could you elaborate, what shared albums? Shared with you? Are you referring to this problem?
