How to restore gallery
Hi, I recently had to reset my phone to factory so that a issue it had can be repaired. I made sure to upload all my pictures to Immich and the option to use the device albums for Immich was enabled, so if I browse Immich I can see my whole gallery and every album. My question is, when the phone gets repaired and I get to reinstall everything, how would I go about setting every picture on its original folder? Should I do this manually album by album or is there any faster way? Thanks!

There currently isn't really a way to restore a phone's images nicely
Personally I'd not re-download everything and just continue as is, but if you really want them on your phone, the way it is now, it'll probably be downloading album by album
I'd like to have some photos in my gallery though, so I guess I'll go album by album
how would I do that, though?
oh shoot can't even download albums
So it's really individual picks
You CAN drag-select images, so hold down and drag to select multiple
I mean I can select them but there's no option to download them
It's "Share" and then use the device download way, immich itself has no "download to internal storage" button
got it, thank you!!
