Photos Moved Instead of Duplicated on Synology NAS

[wulukewu]

Hi,

I appreciate the availability of this tool. I have around 3-4 TB of photos generated from Google Photos, which are now stored on my Synology NAS. I tried using tmux and SSH to access the NAS and ran the command like this:

gpth-linux --input "INPUT_FOLDER_PATH" --output "OUTPUT_FOLDER_PATH" --albums duplicate-copy

I want the original folder to remain unchanged, so my goal is to duplicate all the photos. However, after processing, I noticed that all the photos and videos in my input folder were moved to the output folder. Did I make a mistake in the command?

Thank you.

In readme::

Fun fact: gpth moves files around by default - so if anything goes wrong mid-way, re-export the zips again 🙏

GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper v3.4.3 - The Dart successor

gpth is ment to help you with exporting your photos from Google Photos.                  
# [ ... ]
    --[no-]copy                   Copy files instead of moving them.
                                  This is usually slower, and uses extra space, but doesn't break your input folder

just use gpth --copy

Got it, thanks!
