Yeah Google does the same. When you Takeout your photos they split the images and metadata into separate files. Bunch dicks. Fortunately Immich has solved this and knows how to merge them back together.

I haven’t documented this yet but I did do Google Takeout. It is just as bad and they rotate credentials every few minutes so they make it really hard to download the 80 files they output my pictures into Immich has built-in compatible tooling to handle Takeout, bless them Takeout Edit: voyage0 correctly pointed out that I used/meant immich-go, not built-in tools

It was faster to export the 1000 photos at a the via the photos web UI which still kept the metadata together. Apple was not much better, requiring an unsupported third party tool. I have to give it to them, that truly made me not want to use their products ever again.
