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... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

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?

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.
