Did you try again? Takeout is pretty flaky sometimes... especially with large libraries.

Yeah the files were like html files that had image links inside them if I remember correctly. But even those links didn’t work right.

This is because of a change they made.

I was absolutely distraught tbh. The feeling of being at the mercy of google is a horrible feeling. Especially when there is zero support or assistance.

I just did a take-out today based on your comment here.

I received links to over 100 tgz files (4GB each), and checked a couple. Each had JPG files and JSON files with extra metadata ("geoDataExif", "geoData" (inferred from my location history?), "title", "description", etc).

I can't tell if the actual images are the originals I uploaded, but I can confirm the images were archived as actual images, and in a serviceable format/structure.
