I'm trying to decide how to import my Google Photos Takeout backup. I see two general ways:

  • Import it by uploading it to Immich (immich-go, etc.)
  • Add it as an External library

Has anyone done it one way or the other? Any recommendation, pros/cons or gotchas?

Immich-go is stupid easy.

Just dump all your takeout zips in the same folder as immich-go and run the import. Lmk if you need help.

It ingested 60+ zips with 100gb of photos when I used it.

Does it properly handle takeouts exif data?
