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?

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.
