Genius. Open source it so that only the most committed nerds like us would actually use this. God forbid they actually put a BUTTON somewhere in the actual UI to initiate the transfer. God forbid, people might actually USE THIS. No build or usage instructions in teh README: https://github.com/google/data-transfer-project All the Documentation is instructions on how to build custom data transfer projects for YOUR service rather than how to actually use it with Facebook and Google Photos: https://github.com/google/data-transfer-project/tree/master/...
