Google photos migration and file organization

Hi,

If I were you, I would sync my computer folder with my NC instance (Nextcloud desktop or webdav).
Then I would use python or bash to organize my photos.
I believe it would be very simple and do not need a lot of experience to do it in python since there is a lot of common libraries for this language and the code would be straightforward.

I moved all gphotos away from nc folder, and I’m (re)organizing using the command issued in this message:

Import a lot of photos and videos with folder structure creation

Any news on this? I do this from linux with following these steps: Copy the pictures I want to /Photos folder Execute this command for every year, i.e. for 2021: find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -newermt 20210101 -not -newermt 20211231 -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} 2021/ \; This will move all photos in /Photos folder taken in 2021 to /Photos/2021 As you can see you have to specify the date start (newermt parameter), the date end (not newermt parameter) and the destination folder (2021/) I do this …

It’s a long way (and somehow tedious) but it’s working
Then I’ll upload them into correct nc folder…
