Description
Unable to download the original, full quality image stored in Photos through the Photos API. All files downloaded from API are not byte identical to original files uploaded.
Steps:
1) Using a Pixel 2, take a picture and have the full, original quality image backed up to Google Photos.
2) Use Photos API to download the picture using the baseUrl (with "=w16383-h16383" added to the end).
3) Download the same picture from Google Photos app (or pull image from phone).
4) Compare the two files.
Attached is a sample picture. The original file contains everything, while the one from Photos API has some metadata stripped or modified, which means the files are not byte identical to each other.
