Just another suggestion to look at rclone - I use it to keep local
copies of google drives data, but the sync can go both ways. It needs
a browser interaction to get a token to access drive, but has a
reasonably nice way to do that on another computer if needed (so you
don't need a browser on the machine with rclone and storage)

It has a very large set of backends, including Google Photos, and can
sync things between most of them
