Time to extract this #Google #Takeout archive of my photos. It took me like 7 days to successfully download this 1.6 terabyte archive. and 13 hours to copy it from the download HDD to my SSD to bring it home. Wondering how long it will take to expand the zip files.

@ThinkingSapien 1.6 terabytes of photos? Are they all massive bitmaps or raw files or something? How many photos is that?

I should have said media. There's video in the mix too. Some 4K, occasionally 8K.

Since it was on photos.google.com I am primed to calling the collection photos.

There is some unnecessarily large content, like a 14 MB image of a sheet of paper with the 12 character wifi password for a hotel.

Some things in the archive are accidental. The 8K videos were recorded for YouTube but backed up before I deleted them from the phone.
