Hi all,
I don’t know if this is the right place, but I found a lot of questions regarding this issue: migration google photos to your nextcloud server. So I wrote (another) tool which can easily help you with that: GitHub - rikmeijer/googlephotos2nextcloud: Tool to import Google Photos Takeout into Nextcloud
You can run the PHP script or run it as a docker container. It requires a path where the (extracted) Google Photos Takeout (current working directory or bind in docker) and a Nextcloud URL (enviroment var). Optionally to safe space you can use UPLOAD_MODE=move to remove local copies of your photos (use with care obviously).
I want to also include extract Google Photos Takeout, but seeing Google does not provide a webdav API that is somewhat more complex…

Hello, I am new on Nextcloud too. I don’t know if this is the right place for my question. But it seems that we have the same “problem”. How could I impot all my files on the Googleserver to Nextcloud ?
Welcome! Well importing google drive, contacts and calendar is rather easily done through the provided google migration app. Google Photos is more difficult IF you want exif data to be imported (ie GPS information). The Google Photos API does not provide that information, so you must export your photos through Google Takeout and import them to your nextcloud instance. There is where my tool comes in, it can import an extracted google photos takeout into nextcloud (assuming Nextcloud Photos app is installed) and create the albums you had in google photos along with it.
