Oh, em gosh, thank you so much! I might actually know a work around, your back up sparked a memory for me, I think I've been backing up to some dusty old hdd here and there, I might be able to patch most of it, without google photos! I might see what I can Frankensteins monster outta that, first. That's such a detailed response, I so hugely appreciate your help, all those photos mean so much to me. Thanks friend!!
You are welcome :-) It is the type of information I wish I had when I did this project. It is worth doing the google takeout of your photos anyway even if you just keep them as a backup to a backup.
Fixing the file dates is not as daunting as it might look. It is actually very fast.
Oh thanks! Great idea, back up to a back up. And good to know, I was feeling a little daunted, tbh.
