Comment on Updates to the Google Photos API: Read-Only Scopes Deprecated

Comments

This is really inconvenient for me as well.

It seems like it will affect gphotos-sync, which I have been using reliably for years to backup all my photos...

Does anybody have good alternatives? I'm quite used to taking photos on my phone and feeling confident they will be backed up from Google Photos. This convenience is one of the few reasons why I still use Google stuff. I even ditched Gmail years ago.

Not entirely what you're looking for, but https://github.com/immich-app/immich has worked well for me, running on my own server.
