Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

This is a feature request to enable you to upload a Google Takeout file to the service as an alternative way of importing, and probably would automate the requesting and downloading process. It would allow for Google Photos to include location data and for basically all Google services to be added as an "artifact" that can be imported way easier than manually importing every one. Ex: supporting Google Tasks according to one issue, importing YouTube videos to PeerTube, importing more metadata from Google Maps and Drive, etc.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points to inspect. Start by mapping the existing import integrations and the Google Takeout workflow; the scope and completion criteria remain undefined across Google services, metadata, and automated requesting and downloading.
