Existing Files vs Takeout?
Just looking to set up Immich for the first time. I have a fairly large set in gphotos. And I've been using https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync for several years to create a local copy of my files.
If I used these for my new library, rather than a takeout, would it just be geo data that I'd be missing, or will there be other compromises in the downloaded files vs a Takeout? I'm trying to figure out whats different and what I need.
...it's just that I've started the Takeout, and it's 200 x 10Gb zip files, whereas my Gphotos-sync folder is ~800Gb. The bulk of the difference is because albums from G-Sync are symlinks, whereas the Takeout includes the dupes (..I assume thats it anyway, unless there a compression on the files also?)
Thanks
