# Optional: Google Photos album to upload to (null = library root)
google_photos_album_name: null # "Family - Auto WhatsApp Imports"
# Recommended: set an album name to separate DMAF face-matched uploads from
# your main camera-roll library. Avoids confusion when native Google Photos
# backup and DMAF both upload the same photo (different compression = different
# bytes, so Google Photos won't auto-deduplicate them).
google_photos_album_name: "Family Faces" # change to taste, or set null for library root
