This tool is a command-line utility designed to synchronize and archive media from cloud storage to local directories. It functions as an automated backup service that maintains a local mirror of remote photo libraries, ensuring that local storage remains current with remote changes through periodic monitoring and incremental updates.
The project distinguishes itself through its support for persistent, containerized background execution, which allows for continuous, automated management of media collections. It provides robust multi-account isolation, enabling users to manage multiple independent libraries concurrently while maintaining separate session contexts and configuration settings for each.
The software handles a wide range of media management tasks, including high-fidelity asset downloading, metadata-driven directory organization, and the preservation of complex file formats like live photos and raw images. It features flexible synchronization options, such as the ability to select specific asset versions, verify sync states without modifying files, and perform remote archiving by removing assets from the cloud after they are safely stored locally.
Authentication is managed through secure, system-level credential storage, with support for multi-factor authentication and browser-based session handling. The tool is designed for deployment as a persistent service, facilitating long-term, hands-off maintenance of personal media archives.
