How to install on Windows? #63
Comments
The following worked for me:

the last command (python -m pipenv run gphotos-sync C:\MyPhotosFolder) failed in my case:
How to proceed? |
You need to create a client secret file and place it in C:\Users\8000plus\AppData\Local\gphotos-sync\gphotos-sync\. See the section on 'valid client id' in https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync or have a read of https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/06/how-to-backup-google-photos-to-your.html Cheers, |
I have version 2.10.4 installed on my windows, how do I update to 2.14.0 with this method? I re-ran the command but that didn't help. Do I need to delete something first? |
To be sure pipenv gets the latest you can do. |
It is For new users, when creating the client secret file, do not select the "other" option but "Desktop app" (as mentioned here) |
@GreatApo thanks! |
Any idea how long I should expect this to take? I entered in the final command into Command Prompt about an hour ago and still nothing has happened since then, no error, no progress indication, no link to request that I log in to Google Photos, and no photos appearing in the folder. My Google Photos account has about 950+ GB of photos and videos in it, so I am not sure if that is partly why it is slow. Thanks! |

Hi @stefankarschti . Yes the Google Auth sets up a web server to receive a redirect for initial login only. I think there is a command line option to change the default. Open a new bug if you are still having issues, for some reason you have commented on a long closed bug re windows. |
Hi @gilesknap . Solved in the meantime. I was going for a headless installation and skipped the part where a token needed to be created elsewhere and copied. |
I'm not too familiar with python environments on Windows - I can make it work in pycharm but need independent instructions.
