TL;DR
- Google is adding a new “Incremental Takeout for Photos” feature that lets users schedule recurring exports of their Google Photos library.
- After the initial full export, future exports will only include photos and videos that were added, edited, or changed since the last successful backup.
- Previously, exporting Google Photos through Takeout required downloading an entire library every time, which could take a long time and consume a large amount of storage space.
Google is rolling out a useful upgrade for people who regularly back up their Google Photos libraries through Takeout. The company has announced a new “Incremental Takeout for Photos” feature that allows users to schedule recurring exports that include only newly added or changed content, instead of downloading their entire library every time.
