December 17, 20232 yr Hello everyone, it's my 1st post here, hopefully this helps for those in needs. And bare with me for my English! 😅  What? You want to download all your Google Photos to your local drive You want to download your Google Drive files to your local drive  Tips? For this guide, I highly suggest export using .tgz format as it will zip your files in 50GB pieces Create a specific 'shares' folder for easier access specifically for this (make it easier) I'm using Windows in VM to download the takeout archives and link the temp & download folder in IDM to the same 'shares' that we have created. But you can also just using plain Firefox in docker, with all the folder point to your 'shares' folder, and download the archive using it, so no need VM. Use "Dynamix File Manager", it's easier to know your 'shares' path. Follow my 1st attached photo to find your 'shares' path  How? You may use Google Takeout (I will not try to explained the usage, you may follow the link below for how to) https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en Download the takeout archive. For me, I download it 1 by 1 (once 1 finish then only I download another) Once all finished, then you can close your Windows VM (up to you to do it or not, no impact) Now, the interesting part. Open Unraid Terminal and CD to your files. In my case, it's 'google_photos'. cd /mnt/user/google_photos Make sure your shares name have no space (for ex 'google photos'). For the extraction, use code below pv takeout-* | tar xzif -  Done! You can view the whole progress from that terminal & the speed is depending on your own drive.  Credit?
