How to download Google Takeout zips? (lemmy.today)

So I started the Google Takeout process because I want to move my photos from Google Photos to Immich.

Google emailed me saying the archives are ready... uh... I have to download 81 zip files, each 2GB big... 😬

Is there an easy way to download all of these files? Or do I have to click "download" 81 times and hope the downloads don't get interrupted?

Do it again, but select 50GB chunks. This will produce fewer files.

Use immich-go to do the importing.

select 50GB chunks

That wasn't an option for zip files.

Looks like for tarballs, I can select 50GB chunks. However, immich-go's best practices say to pick zip.

Choose the ZIP format when creating your takeout for easier import.

What difference does it make to immich-go if I pick zip vs tar?

Ah, maybe the max was 20GB for zip. I'd just do the max available for zip.

Unless they've changed it in the last month then it's 50 GB for zip.
