After downloading, can you upload to a different cloud photo service? I'd love to have a way to sync them automatically, and having a non-cloud backup would be nice too.
Sure, but doing it automatically (and handling things like making sure they're not duplicated) would be more convenient over cobbling together a solution.
> The current google API does not allow photos to be downloaded at original resolution. This is very important if you are, for example, relying on "Google Photos" as a backup of your photos. You will not be able to use rclone to redownload original images. You could use 'google takeout' to recover the original photos as a last resort
