I’ve been running Immich for about 6 months now, and it’s smooth and stable.

I’ve synced my camera roll to it and loving it.
Next step is to move the ~150gb of media on Google-Photos over.
How do I best do that?

I also have some other issues I’d like to address before or after the migration:

  1. I have a bunch of crap mixed into my Google photos, old WhatsApp images from meme groups I used to be in etc.
  2. Thousands of photos of Ex girlfriends mixed in (not exactly sure what to do about these)

Is there a way to siff through these efficiently and keep what I want? I have ~20k photos some dating back to 2006 so it feels like a mountain to climb.

    I think you can select all folders, I recommend taking the path I did. Run Immich in parallel with Google-Photos for a few months and see if you like it.

    I did so an synced my camera roll from my phone (~6000 photos) and it works great. I also added some family members etc. and they also like it.

    Now in the process of moving everything over.
