-Because I don't have good solution on how to handle albums, you will need to cut off all ["Album folders"](#why-do-you-need-to-cut-out-albums) - those who are not named like "2016-06-26" or "2016-06-26 #2" - don't worry, all photos from albums are in corresponding "date folders" already - they would just make a duplicate.

 Now, you should be able to just run it straight in cmd/terminal:
 
 4. `google-photos-takeout-helper -i [INPUT TAKEOUT FOLDER] -o [OUTPUT FOLDER]`
 
 // Or if this doesn't work: `python3 -m google_photos_takeout_helper -i [INPUT TAKEOUT FOLDER] -o [OUTPUT FOLDER]`

 If you want your photos to be divided by year and month, run it with `--divide-to-dates` flag.

-### Why do you need to cut out albums?
-They mostly contain duplicates of same photos that are in corresponding "date folder". (Note: not ALL photos found in album folders will be duplicated in date folders. You should maintain a separate backup of the original Google Takeout folder/zip to ensure you don't lose any photos. See [Issue #22](https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper/issues/22) for more details)
-This script tries to get all "photo taken time" stuff right. If it finds json - it sets everything from that json (it contains data of edited timestamp that you might've corrected in Google Photos). If it can't - it tries to get Exif data form photo.
-IF it can't find anything like that, it sets date from folder name.
-
-All of this is so that you can then safely store ALL of your photos in one folder, and they will all be in right order.

 Beware, that (99% of the times), if you move some files in Android, their creation and modification time is reseted to current.
