Describe the bug

I've ran the script a few times and get the same result. Size of photos in google photos is much larger than size of the output folder.

To Reproduce

Followed the README exactly on multiple occasions.

mdecourcy commented 2 years ago

Seems that the script indexes 4000+ photos less than google reports I have.

Sorry for the very late response.

A few users have reported this kind of issue. It seems to be a google API bug. I've personally noticed that Google API does not see all of my photos unless I include shared folders.

Please post the command line parameters you are using. Thanks.
