I’m trying to decide how to import my Google Photos Takeout backup. I see two general ways:

  • Import it by uploading it to Immich (immich-go, etc.)
  • Add it as an External library

Has anyone done it one way or the other? Any recommendation, pros/cons or gotchas?

    If you import it as external library, Immich will not be able to modify or delete any of the files, but you will see the files just like you see ones uploaded using immich. It is up to you to decide what is better
