Google takeout and metadata problem  [Accepted]

Hello, I am newbie here and with Nas also.
I have problem, got my NAS f4 425 plus and 2x 8tb drives, I downloaded 3.5 tb of photos from Google takeout by cloudsync.
Problem is about metadata (tags, location time etc)
It's written in separate folder I want to connect photos again with metadata. I was trying to use immichgo add-on but it says command doesn't exist, I am completely noobie with linux and TOS. Is any other method to do it? Thx. Files are already on NAS.

Are you referring to the issue of media files and metadata being separated when downloaded via Google Takeout? The metadata is stored in some JSON files. There are no related tools in TOS, but you can use third-party tools to address this issue, such as Metadata Fixer.

You can also consider referring to the GitHub tutorial to install the immich-go tool yourself.
