I have been using rclone for 5 years now and I can only confirm that it works flawlessly. Couple of remarks though:

- better transfer speeds can be achieved by using your own Google Service Account key instead of the rclone's OAuth2 client_id that is shared between all rclone users. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/ to create your own developper account credentials.

- despite the excellent multi-concurrency support in Go language in which rclone is developed, Google is throttling back on the server side: about 10 transactions a second if I remember correctly despite the fact that Go can support millions of Goroutines at a very low memory cost. Nothing much one can do about that.

Cheers and stay home!

Ok. I found a nice, clean workaround: maybe some Linux user could be interested.

https://rclone.org/googlephotos/

Simple command line solution to sync a local folder with Google Photo.
You install it (I used the .deb), set it up with the token you receive from Google, and it's done.

Basically, in DT I setup an export preset that saves to a specific folder, that I want to be synced with Google.

If you have a basic knowledge of terminal, you will find it very easy.

Hi all,

I have developed a web application that synchronize our company schedule with employee's personal (Goggle) agenda. I do confirm that working with Google API is a nightmare. It's increasingly complex and changes every year or two. So complex and time consuming that I decided to pull the plug and search for another solution.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

... and stay home!

Cheers.

I believe the current situation is that google changes the api too often and the dev's are no longer interested.  One may construct an lua script
to provide access, ?maybe?.
It is far more complex than that. You'll need a Webserver and a key
registered to be able to use the latest Google API. So the issue is not
that we are not interested because it changes too often, the truth is
that Google is really playing with us and try very hard to ensure no
one use the API on 3rd party applications except for Android and paying
customers.
