About:
A command-line interface (CLI) that automates uploading local photo and video directories to Google Photos. It operates by scanning specified folders and syncing new media files, handling authentication via OAuth 2.0. This tool is ideal for users needing to back up large media libraries to the cloud without manual intervention through the web interface.
Key Features:
  • Automated folder synchronization with Google Photos
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Supports OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication
  • Deduplication to avoid uploading existing files
  • Configurable upload settings and filters
Use Cases:
  • Automated backup of local camera or phone media dumps to Google Photos
  • Syncing specific directories to Google Photos for cloud storage
  • Migrating photo libraries from local storage to Google Photos
Alternatives:
  • google-photos-uploader – Often refers to older or different third-party tools; gphotos-uploader-cli is specifically focused on CLI automation.
  • rclone – A more general-purpose sync tool that supports Google Photos among many other services, offering broader functionality.
