Once you login to Google you might get an 'Unverified' warning, which, in this case, is fine.Īfter this, rather complex process, it's time to install and then you can start using the software. mkdir -p ~/.config/gphotos-sync/Ĭp ~/Downloads/client_secret.json ~/.config/gphotos-sync/client_secret.json The client_secret.json file has to be named as here. I saved it in my ~/Downloads folder and then moved it to the correct folder for gphotos-sync, creating it if it does not exist: Afterwards, use the download arrow button to save the file as client_secret.json: In the top-right corner, there’ll be a trash can icon, which you need to. Select type Desktop Application and give the client a name. You can click on the image to see it in more detail and get various options. In the menu bar, go to Credentials, Create Credentials, OAuth ClientID. Go to /apis, select your project and go to OAuth Consent Screen. Go to /projectselector2/apis/library, select your new project, then select the Photos Library API. ![]() Essentially, there's bo way of using GPs to manage a local photo server beyond what I mentioned. Then to access those faces you'd have to either use your phone or your web browser on your PC. You need to configure google-photos sharing in the google-cloud before use:Ĭreate a new project. This still allows you to sync across multiple devices but for face recognition to work GP has to be able to upload (backup) those photos to the cloud. Mind that gphotos-sync only downloads your photos, it cannot upload!! I use gphotos-sync and it's painless after setup. Replace your apps & files with a previous backup. It works similarly to nfs in that the files aren't actually copied to your computer so if you want to have them when you aren't connected to the internet, you will need to copy them to a local directory. Tip: Once backup is complete, you can click the notification to view your files in the Files app. Next, back in the terminal, you will need to create a directory to mount your google drive in:Īnd finally to mount the drive so you can see your files, run: This will set up the configuration files and folders needed as well as launch your default browser so you can login to your google account. Then, still in the terminal, run the following to get started: ![]() Sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse deb files for Ubunutu, run the following in a terminal to install the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa ![]() You also have a few options to mimic the behavior of Dropbox clients there's OverGrive and Insync but I prefer to not have the files stored locally and for that I use Ocamlfuse. First, you must check the box to enable Google Photos folder in your Google Drive settings so that your Photos will be visible in Drive.Ī standard Ubuntu install has GNOME settings has a built in "Online Accounts" section to easily configure a drive in to show in nautilus File Viewer.
