Hi, first of all let me thank you for creating this tool. It more than makes up for the TOOLS at Google who cant even get their crap together.... Thank you.

Having said that, I face 2 issues. One which was already previously mentioned in another issue report by another person (the tool creating link to non-existant files in the root of C drive) And the other is some media files (mainly videos, well, I guess ONLY videos cause "cinematic photos" are basically mp4 files) that get the date between 1957 or 1969 (at random it seems). now, for videos downloaded with no exif data in them I get it. Maybe its one of the "quirks" of unix based systems. But what about the videos shot by the phones camera? There must be SOMEWHERE the tool pulls these random dates from... I could go over each one of them by hand, but theyre a bunch.... So... If you tell me that non fixable. Ill just bite the bullet. Otherwise I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at it.... Or maybe Im doing something wrong? Anyway, thanks again. Youre the man.

EDIT: Also, Quick question. What about videos with slow motion data? How does your tool deal with that? Or photos with multiple shots.... Will I be able to still edit them if I reupload them to another GP account?
