It boggles my mind that Google doesn't make this easier. I don't understand why you can't just do this from your photos app

Γεια σας έχω κατεβάσει τις φωτογραφίες από το google σε ένα ccd όταν ανοίγω το φάκελο οι φωτογραφίες είναι μέσα αλλά δεν ανοίγονται όλες μαζί. για να δω τι φωτογραφίες πρέπει να τις ανοίγω μία μία. υπάρχει κάτι άλλο που να ανοίγονται όλες μαζί ευχαριστώ

Ya but how do you select all the pictures at once to save them. So I thought I had to psychically buy an external hardrive to save all my Google photos. Instead of having to save them on the phone external hardrive

The whole point is that I wanna save all my Google photos to an external hardrive to access them whenever I want so then I can delete them from Google photos and make room for more photos since they now have a storage limit

So do I need to psychically buy an external hardrive then

Will the metadata move with the photos or will the date be set to the date of transfer?
