Reduced quality importing photos from google photos

I don't know if any of you are experiencing this same error or if it is a limitation that Google puts. The error I'm having and the following on my Google Photos I signed the 100 gb plan and the photos that went there and in the original resolution, but what happens to Nextcloud to import the albums with such photos, they come with the size and quality reduced, example: In google photos a certain photo says it is 16 mb when importing to Nextcloud it appears with 5 MB; A certain album that I downloaded via Google Takeout has 1 Gb when importing into Nextcloud it appears as 400 mb. The import was already finished and the photos continue like this even though I had them imported again, so I decided to do another test download via Rclone and the same error happens

Hi. Google Photo API does not let us download the exact photo file that was uploaded. The google integration app can just get photos asking the API for max available resolution. The photos were processed on google side, that's why they are smaller after importing them through their API.

@Edsonsbjsp Hello, I would like to preserve the original image resolution during migration. Is there a way I can import my photos by supplying an archive generated by Google Takeout?
