Run executable within folder containing images to upload

./gpup

First run of the program will present you with a link to allow access to your google photos account. Select an account and you will be presented with token string. Copy this into the command line and continue. The program will then save the token for use later. You can now save this file to a separate location and create an environment variable pointing to the location of the saved json file for use later. When the program runs next, if this environment variable is set it will automatically log you into the same account.

export GPHOTOS_TOKENJSON=/path/to/json/file.json

Working! Concurrent uploads would speed things up...
