Hello there,

After a year and a half of putting it off I'd like to take my pictures out of Google and I think immich is my choice.

That's all grand, but is there anyway I can easily grab the metadata from Google photos so everything will be easier to sort or am I destined to hand edit everything?

If you've made the move before - any tips, tricks or gotcha's that will make my life easier are most welcome.

Thanks in advance!
