This runs a headless browser in the background.
Download the software from [gphotosdl](https://github.com/rclone/gphotosdl)
First run with
gphotosdl -login
Then once you have logged into google photos close the browser window

gphotosdl
Then supply the parameter |--gphotos-proxy "http://localhost:8282"| to make
rclone use the proxy.

**The current google API does not allow photos to be downloaded at original resolution. This is very important if you are, for example, relying on "Google Photos" as a backup of your photos. You will not be able to use rclone to redownload original images. You could use 'google takeout' to recover the original photos as a last resort**
**NB** you **can** use the [--gphotos-proxy](#gphotos-proxy) flag to use a
headless browser to download images in full resolution.
