How to download Google Takeout zips? (lemmy.today)

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... 😬

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?

Remove Duplicates

Excellent! This is my next question.

I've already partially synced my Google Photos library by installing Immich on my Android phone and enabling Immich backups. But I see that the oldest photo in Google Photos is way older than what Immich has.

So now I'm worried that when I run immich-go with the full takeout archives, I'm going to get a ton of duplicates because half of my library is already on immich.

What's the duplicate command? I can't find it in the CLI...

$ immich-go duplicate --help
Error: unknown command "duplicate" for "immich-go"
Run 'immich-go --help' for usage.
unknown command "duplicate" for "immich-go"

$ immich-go  --help
An alternative to the immich-CLI command that doesn't depend on nodejs installation. It tries its best for importing google photos takeout archives.

Usage:
  immich-go [command]

Available Commands:
  archive     Archive various sources of photos to a file system
  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help        Help about any command
  stack       Update Immich for stacking related photos
  upload      Upload photos to an Immich server from various sources
  version     Give immich-go version

Flags:
  -h, --help               help for immich-go
  -l, --log-file string    Write log messages into the file
      --log-level string   Log level (DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR), default INFO (default "INFO")
      --log-type string    Log formatted  as text of JSON file (default "text")
  -v, --version            version for immich-go

Use "immich-go [command] --help" for more information about a command.

$ immich-go version
immich-go version:0.27.0,  commit:64221e90df743148a8795994af51552d9b40604f, date:2025-06-29T06:22:46Z

OK! Migration complete! Everything went fine. I think the duplicate command might be from an older version? Idk. I just ran immich-go upload from-google-photos and the de-duplication happened automatically.
