For troubleshooting during execution look at the log file found in log/google-photos-upload.log

1. Download the latest release for your operating system here
2. Execute the application: i. On Windows 10: double click "google-photos-upload.exe"
3. Follow the instructions in the application to upload images
4. Recover Storage: Open Google Photos Settings website and Click 'Recover Storage' (will downgrade ALL your photos from Original down to High Quality)

1. Install the .NET Core runtime version 2.1 or later
2. Download the latest portable release here
3. Execute the application on a shell / command prompt: dotnet google-photos-upload.dll
4. Follow the instructions in the application to upload images
5. Recover Storage: Open Google Photos Settings website and Click 'Recover Storage' (will downgrade ALL your photos from Original down to High Quality)

This is optional. There is a key provided in the source code which has constraints, but sufficient for testing.

1. Obtain a Google Photos API key (Client ID and Client Secret) by following the instructions on Getting started with Google Photos REST APIs

NOTE When selecting your application type in Step 4 of "Request an OAuth 2.0 client ID", please select "Other". There's also no need to carry out step 5 in that section.

2. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID in the client_id.json file with the provided Client ID.
3. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET in the client_id.json file wiht the provided Client Secret.

• COMING SOON: Mono.Options by the Xamarin team processes commandline arguments.
