Google and Apple are launch A new tool to transfer images from Google Photos to iCloud. As part of the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI), the tool will add iCloud transfers to Google Takeout's export options. 9a5Mac first stained ad.
The tool, which will be released within the next week, automates the process of transferring Google Photos to iCloud, so you don't need to download, upload, or do anything other than start the process on the web. An Apple support page says It could take several hours or a few days to complete, depending on the size of the transfer.
Transferring your Google Photos to iCloud won't delete them from Google Photos, so you'll have to do that manually if you want to. Also, the service won't work with child accounts, managed Apple ID accounts (those set up through IT administrators), or iCloud accounts with Advanced Data Protection turned on.
The tool follows the 2021 launch of one that does the opposite: moving your images from iCloud to Google Photos.
The DTI thrown out in 2023 as a collaboration between Apple, Google, and Meta. Officially, it was formed to further the goals of the open-source Data Transfer Project (DTP), which began five years earlier. Unofficially, well, it’s probably no coincidence that the DTI started a couple of months before the European Commission appointed its “gatekeepers” under the Digital Markets Act, and the DTI’s goals coincide with the governing body’s regulations. (What a surprise!)
Once it is active (we don't see it available yet), you can start the process at Google TakeawayIn the meantime, you can read Google and Of Apple Instructions for all the fine print.
