It was faster to export the 1000 photos at a the via the photos web UI which still kept the metadata together.
Apple was not much better, requiring an unsupported third party tool.
I have to give it to them, that truly made me not want to use their products ever again.

I haven’t documented this yet but I did do Google Takeout. It is just as bad and they rotate credentials every few minutes so they make it really hard to download the 80 files they output my pictures into
Immich has built-in tooling to handle Takeout, bless them

When you say immich has build in tooling for google takeout, do you mean [immich-go] (github.com/simulot/immich-go) or is there another, possibly better, way?
afk_strats@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
no, you’re completely correct. I used immich-go which is what I recommend

I used immich-go when I was migrating over, worked a treat.
