sharded-google-photos 0.2.0

A tool to shard photos across multiple Google Photo accounts

Sharded-Google-Photos

Description

Running out of space in your Google Photos account? Wish you can upload an unlimited number of photos on Google Photos? Now you can! With this Python library, you can upload your photos to multiple Google Photo Accounts and then share those albums to your main Google Photos account. That way, you get to see all of your photos on one main Google Photos account.

It works like this:

1. Let's say you have three Google Accounts.

2. Install the package by running pip install sharded-google-photos.

3. Import the following code in your main.py app:

   from sharded_google_photos.backup.gphotos_backup import GPhotosBackup
   from sharded_google_photos.shared.gphotos_client import GPhotosClient
   
   clients = [
       GPhotosClient(creds_file = "credentials-1.json", client_secret="client_secret.json"),
       GPhotosClient(creds_file = "credentials-2.json", client_secret="client_secret.json"),
       GPhotosClient(creds_file = "credentials-3.json", client_secret="client_secret.json"),
   ]
   for client in clients:
       client.authenticate()
   
   backup_client = GPhotosBackup(clients)
   

4. To upload four photos from two folders, run the following:

   new_album_uris = backup_client.backup([
       {
           "modifier": "+", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California/1.jpg",
           "modifier": "+", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California/2.jpg",
           "modifier": "+", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to Toronto/3.jpg",
           "modifier": "+", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to Toronto/4.jpg",
       }
   ])
   print(new_album_uris)
   

   What will happen is that it will:

   1. A shared read-only album Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California will be made in some Google Photos account with the most amount of space available.

   2. A shared read-only album Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to Toronto will be made in some Google Photos account with the second most amount of space available.

   3. Photos 1.jpg, and 2.jpg will be in the Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California album.

   4. Photos 3.jpg, and 4.jpg will be in the Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to Toronto album.

   5. The url to those new albums will be in new_album_uris that you can share to.

5. To update a file in a folder, run the following:

   backup_client.backup([
       {
           "modifier": "-", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California/1.jpg",
           "modifier": "+", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California/1.jpg",
       }
   ])
   

6. To delete a file in a folder, run the following:

   backup_client.backup([
       {
           "modifier": "-", "file_path": "./Archives/Photos/2022/Trip to California/1.jpg",
       }
   ])
   

   Note: it is not possible for the Google Photos API to actually delete a photo from Google Photos. Instead, you can clean your Google Photo accounts by putting all album-less photos into a "Trash" album by running the following script:

   from sharded_google_photos.cleanup.gphotos_cleaner import GPhotosCleaner
   
   for client in clients:
       cleaner = GPhotosCleaner(client)
       cleaner.cleanup()
   

   After running that script, it will put all of the albumless photos into an album called "Trash", and you can log into Google Photos and delete those photos from your account manually.
