Personally I keep the last 365 days in my Google Photos

Everything else is in Immich

Pictures and videos I take get backed up to Google Photos

Once a year I do a Google Takeout and import into Immich

This way I get the best of both worlds

how do you get the photos out of Google Photos (and delete them from there I assume?)? I started on a CLI that could track photos across different accounts and make it easy to move then between them i.e. from GP to s3 or to a local drive etc. Was going to include duplicate detection. But if there is already another tool...?
Didn't they say Google Takeout?
Do you lose the EXIF data in the photos when storing on Google Photos? That's my biggest annoyance.
