Duplicating Google Photos

The Google Photos API imposes strict read/write limitations preventing direct album duplication across accounts. To achieve data transfer, users must implement a bridge protocol utilizing Google Drive.

Recommended Protocol

  1. Data Export: Utilize Google Takeout to generate an archive of the target albums.
  2. Drive Staging: Extract and upload the resulting directories to a Google Drive account.
  3. Execution: Apply the FolderCopier utility to replicate the staged data to the final destination account.

Proceed to Tool

Once data is staged in Google Drive, initialize the transfer process.
