Does anyone know if it's possible to achieve this? Possibly with an external service that syncs the two?

Basically, the last feature immich can't do that google does is to share albums. Sometimes my family wants to have albums after events, and my ones live in a silo.

I would be interested in the reverse: a service that regularly scrapes a list of google photos shared albums and saves the new pictures to immich.

that some like something easily scriptable, if Google photos has something even remotely resembling an api. don't know if it does though, never used it.

Download the whole album and import every once in a while.
Immich does the duplicate-handling.
