Install gphotos-sync using pipenv on Linux: This first part of the guide below is for installing gphotos-sync, and the second part about using your own API key with gphotos-sync (it doesn't work without this).

It will not update any photos modified in Google Photos though, because there's no way to find out the modification date of images from Google Photos. Subsequent runs of gphotos-sync with the same root folder will refresh the local copy with any new photos added to your Google Photos since the last scan.

This tool is specially useful after Google's announcement that Google Photos will stop syncing to Drive starting July 10, 2019, which means that some tools for backing up Google Photos to your computer will stop working ( affecting Insync for instance, a commercial Google Drive client that runs on Linux, macOS and Windows). Use it periodically to grab all newly added photos, keeping a complete Google Photos backup on a server or desktop. Gphotos-sync is a command line tool for backing up Google Photos (including separate albums) using the Google Photos Library API, for Linux, macOS and Windows.
