Hi!

Is it possible use gphotos-sync to remove all my photos?

python setup.py

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

This seemed to help
sudo python setup.py install

This looks like a very useful utility, but possibly duplicates some of the capabilities that are built into Google Photos and Google Drive, whereby you can expose your photos in a "Google Photos" folder in Google Drive, and then sync the latter to your local hard drive with Google Backup & Sync.

Would it be possible to add a few lines of explanatory text to the README that either confirms this (i.e. gphotos-sync is another way of accomplishing the same thing), or explaining some of the unique capabilities for this tool (e.g. works around limitations of the Google Backup & Sync features).

Thanks!

Your project looks VERY interesting. However I wasn't able to have it download all the photos. Heres the output of gphotos-sync download ~/whatever/:

Here's the contents of my ~/.config/gphotos-sync/client_secret.json:

{"web":{"client_id":"xxx-yyy.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"photossync-nnnn","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"zzzzzzz"}}

Did I do something wrong?

Hi Yan,

I'd like, with your permission to divorce my fork of gphotos-sync from your original. This is because it is very difficult to find my project fork by searching github. Now that you have deprecated and no longer have keywords relating to google photos it is almost impossible to find my project.

I believe that this is possible through github support but would like to make sure you are OK with it.

Thanks

Please give option not to sync photos sent from contacts

I want to sync only what I've filmed and not necessarily all of what was sent to me.

After downloading the project as a .zip and unzipping, I get the following error:

Hi Yann

Thanks for a cool project! - I followed the instructions; installed and created a project and client id on the google developer console. I moved the saved json to ~/.config/gphotos-sync/client_id.json and called the app. Below's the output. Can you point me to what I'm doing wrong?

All the best,
