You just need to head over to Google Takeout and from there you can download your data (from each app, or all) and then you can move that data to your NAS ecosystem as needed. How to Copy Your Google Photos & Drive to QNAP NAS using Google Takeoutįor those that are not aware, all the data that you send to google (via app synchronization, backups, cloud shares, emails, everything!) can actually ALL be downloaded if you want. Let’s talk about the two most popular and straight forward ways to transfer your Google Photos and Google Drive data over to your NAS. So there you go, the tools you can use on your QNAP NAS to enjoy the images that you migrate from your Google Photos into. In the case of NAS drives and photo recognition (such as found here in QuMagie), this is all achieved internally and without external hardware resources sharing your data, as found predominantly in cloud drives. Photo recognition in this manner is not new and something that has already pioneered with Google photos previously, however, Google Photos does this with internet external support. The same can be applied to food and drink, with the QuMagie AI core recognising numerous different cuisine variations. The sub-classifications of photo recognition are hugely impressive too, such as when the QNAP QuMagie application manages to identify different plant and tree varieties (so, not just ‘tree’). The QNAP QuMagie application, originally released almost 2 years ago is their powerful AI-supported photo recognition application that not only supports the majority of the settings of Photo Station but also has a huge degree of categorisation/search options integrated that allow facial recognition, subject/thing automated recognition and still supporting general file, folder and album browsing. In recent years it has been overshadowed a little by their QuMagie application that I will talk about in a moment, but never the less it is still a sound photo tool and massively useful for those long-term backups when moving away from Google Photos and Google drive towards something a little more ‘in-house’. Additionally, there are numerous share and privacy options on this photo application that other NAS brands have only just recently implemented, that QNAP has had since the beginning.įinally, there is the integration of Photo Station with the client applications for iOS and Android Photo Backup that allows a lot of the backup of your photos to happen in the background without you knowing. Allowing a larger degree of internal file folder access that is not available from other brands to the same degree, the Photo Station application manages to provide a huge amount of access and fluidity, while still being hugely customizable to boot. The first and original photo management application from QNAP, Photo Station has evolved massively since it was first revealed and is now one of the most adaptable photo programs on any NAS platform. There are TWO main QNAP applications for photography, namely QNAP Photo Station and QNAP QuMagie, however, there is also a wide range of cloud-NAS migration/sync tools too (in the form of HBS 3, HybridMount and more) which I will also touch on later, but for now, we should take a look at the photo apps on offer for photo storage on QNAP NAS when moving away from Google Photos and Google Drive.
