# Google Photo Album Sync
|
|
|
|
[](https://c0ntroller.de/blog/project/photo-sync)
|
|
|
|
A script that will download all images from an album.
|
|
Perfect to use if you have a local directory for your background, chromecast or whatever.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
1. [Create a Google Project](https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/get-started)
|
|
- You will need the client id and client secret and put it in the `secrets.json`
|
|
2. Run `npm run token`
|
|
- A browser tab should open where you log in with your Google Account and allow access to your app.
|
|
- If something fails, press `Ctrl + C` in the terminal and try again.
|
|
3. Run `npm run albums` and pick an album you want to sync. This will **not** start the download.
|
|
4. You are all set up!
|
|
|
|
## Running it
|
|
```console
|
|
$ npm run sync -- [output_directory] [options...]
|
|
```
|
|
This will download the album to your drive. By default a directory named `album` is created where the images are stored. If this is sufficient you can omit this and still use the options below.
|
|
|
|
Other options are available as well:
|
|
| Option | Effect |
|
|
|--------|--------|
|
|
| `--force` | Redownload all images no matter if they already exist on the system. By default they are skipped. |
|
|
| `--cleanup` | Delete images not found in the album anymore. |
|
|
| `--quiet` | No useless logs. |
|
|
| `--raw` | Download RAW images. |
|
|
|
|
## Using it
|
|
Run it manually or add a cronjob with the following configuration:
|
|
```console
|
|
# crontab -u username -e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```crontab
|
|
# Add this line
|
|
*/15 * * * * node /path/to/src/sync.js /path/to/output --quiet --cleanup
|
|
```
|
|
Of course any options can be used. |
