# photosync Now that Google deprecates the Photos<->Drive synchronization, I need another way to back up my photos locally. This program downloads all photos from your Google Photos account and organizes them locally. It is not very user friendly yet, but definitely usable. **Pull requests are welcome!** ## Behavior By default, photosync will ask for OAuth2 authorization on the console, and then immediately start downloading metadata from Google Photos. Once no more new photos are fetched and all metadata is stored in `photosync.db`, photosync will look for photos that are not yet marked as downloaded in the database and fetch the actual image files. By default, it will organize photos in directories like `year/month/day/` (numerically, 0-padded), but you can write your own method of mapping photos to directories. Albums are currently ignored.
