- Mac users restoring Google Photos or Snapchat exports
- Worth noticing
- Its change log lists each file, what changed, and where the restored value came from; inferred time zones and unfixed photos are labeled.
Field notes
The workflow starts with downloaded export files, including split zip parts, and offers a free scan before a license is needed for repairs. The page says repaired copies are kept separate from the source export and that a change log records file-level edits and their origins. It also describes restoring Google albums and pairing the still image and short video of Live Photos.
