'rclone' is built into the rsync.net platform which means that you can do your google takeout and then directly back it up to your rsync.net account:

  ssh [email protected] rclone gdrive:/blah /rsync/account
No download/upload over your home connection and no intermediate transfer required.

There is special pricing for this kind of 'expert' account:

... and we are all very enthusiastic about supporting and documenting workflows like this so please come try this and show us how you want it to work.

... oh and now that I think about it, rclone connects directly to google photos so I think you can skip the google takeout and just:

  ssh [email protected] rclone gphotos:/what/ever /rsync/account

This sounds wonderful. I'll try the gphotos (or maybe both) route and write about my experince.

Thanks!

... to clarify, I made up that 'gphotos' alias in the command line - I have no idea what the actual alias is ... but it is all documented here:

https://rclone.org/googlephotos/

... and you can, indeed, rclone directly from google photos to your rsync.net account, etc.
