I’m having issues with Google takeout, it messes up the file names and thus the order of the photos.

Any tips?

This worked pretty well for me, although constructing the cli command took a little elbow grease. This video and an LLM proved to be very helpful.

Testing Upload Process

Before performing the actual upload, test the process with this command:

immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -dry-run -google-photos takout-*.zip

Once testing is successful, perform the full upload:

immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -google-photos takout-*.zip

If you've previously uploaded photos before syncing your phone, remove duplicates with:

immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [apikey} duplicate -yes
