@Lordran_Hollow yeah, I had to do a google takeout to save a month to travel photos, that got accidentally removed from device, save those with multiple backups using my own personal backup protocol (as one should), then I was finally able to release the images from using up the free 15 GB allotment
@clergyman @googlepixel thank you for the suggestion, just installed
Now I have a competition between Fossify and Aves happening :)
