I'm trying to sync my daughter's photos from Google Photos to my computer. If I use media/all as source, the files are downloaded, but nothing is returned when I use media/by-month or media/by-year.
The same command works as expected for my account.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone 1.60.1
os/version: fedora 38 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.2.15-300.fc38.x86_64 (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.19.3
go/linking: dynamic
go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Photos
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
But you can copy from media/all on all accounts? So I'd say the auth must be working properly
Do the images in those accounts have metadata? So does google photos know when they were taken?
The googlephotos backend also uses scopes "openid" and "profile" in addition to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly but I can't remember why!
