Google photos upoload - duplicate albums 2023

[kayhan (Kayhan Kaynar)]

Hi all,

I am having the same problem in this link : Google photos upoload - duplicate albums - Help and Support - rclone forum

I have tried everything in here and my script creates duplicate folders like in the same way in the post. It just puts 1 photo in every folder in the same name.

I am running on version:

rclone version

rclone v1.53.3-DEV

• os/arch: linux/arm
• go version: go1.15.5

I am trying to upload my whole photo archive to Google Photos with command

printf '!\n' | rclone sync -vv -i "/mnt/ExtHDD/Photos" "Kayhan1GP_1:album" > /log_google1.log 2>&1 & disown

I am also not sure google-photos-delete-tool/delete_albums.js at 43354f77c010f5b1226aca2092795b189069d204 · mrishab/google-photos-delete-tool · GitHub this tool is still working nowadays.

If you can help me, I will be glad for that. Thanks.

rclone v1.53.3-DEV

This is many years old rclone version. Nobody is going to troubleshoot such ancient rclone.

uninstall it:

sudo apt remove rclone

and install the latest rclone version:

sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

and try your sync again.

sudo apt remove rclone

Hi Kapitainsky,

Updated version.

/# rclone version
rclone v1.64.2

• os/version: raspbian 11.8
• os/kernel: 6.1.21-v7+ (armv7l)
• os/type: linux
• os/arch: arm (ARMv7 compatible)
• go/version: go1.21.3
• go/linking: static
• go/tags: none

Will try again and will let you know about updates. But first of all, I think i have to delete all duplicate folders. Otherwise rclone will give error again.

It seems to be the same again..
