Have you looked at rclone?
You can plug rclone into your Google drive and then use copy to download all your photos into immich, the setup is also very easy
Negative, full-res photos with EXIF is not possible to access with rclone (due to Photos API limitations).
Welp, thanks Google.
Also, this assumes you have enough Google Drive storage to hold a copy of your entire photo collection. Definitely not possible in my case.
