How to download ALL GOOGLE PHOTOS in just a few clicks. Save your memories!

How do you download ALL of your Google Photos and Videos?
I share how to download individual photos and videos from Google Photos, as well as in bulk and by day or date... But this isn't great for downloading the entire contents of all our photos and videos from Google for backing up or saving to a different storage. If you're facing the Google Drive storage full problem, there's a way to backup your Google photos by downloading them using Google Takeout.

** IMPORTANT ** Downloading via Google Takeout seems to remove the metadata for each photo, which is stored separately in .json files.
The only alternative that might save time or save lots of ticking and clicking is to put all the photos you want to download into a single album (or number of albums).
Select the photos - maybe by clicking and selecting them by days - then click the + button to 'create album'.
Go into the massive album (using the albums tab on the left hand side of Google photos, and clicking on the album to download)
Click on the 3 dots at the top right of the screen and select 'download all'.
The album will be downloaded with the metadata original file names intact.
The metadata seems to be there but the created date and modified date is the download date for me.
Hope this helps.

Also - I should have mentioned this in the video, but the downloads separate the metadata in the properties into separate files. I don't know why because it's really unhelpful.
If you want to download and keep the properties in the file, we have to download them directly from the Google Photos site.

One way to do this a bit more quickly is to put the photos into albums and download the album one album at a time. I hear this keeps the properties intact.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I WISH YOU TO BE BLESSED FOR THIS TIMELY HELP

[smilingsydney]

Thank you! I wasted hours trying to download 500 pics at a time from Google! This method was so quick and easy. I downloaded 1 year at a time onto my external hard-drive. You saved my mental sanity!

[doatmidnight]

I searched for an hour before your video explained it in 3 minutes. Thank you.

[JustAboutAnything]

Why won't they include a "select all" option within Google Photos? Guess that would make things too easy.

[andrewbillowsatmtatravel]

Brilliant video. I went to copy photos from my Pixel 7 to my computer and found they weren't there. I had been looking at them and didn't realise they were uploaded and not physically on my phone. Downloaded straight away....thanks for a great video.

[m.travels]

This was a sanity saver as I was staring at 15GB of photos needing to be moved. Very easy to follow, thank you!

[davidx]

Mate! A thousand thanks! This has been popping up recently, and frankly I didn't even know google was backing up ALL my photos and videos! Of course, Google websites are completely USELESS in solving this issue- and you did in only a couple of minutes! I owe you a serious pint! 💪😅🍻

[samhogg]

I don't know why they can't explain this or have a link in Google photos?! Well I do... so they can make more money.
Thanks for this!

[BrookeRex-ow]

This is just what I didn't know I needed!! I was downloading all of my photos and videos the first way you showed and it took so long. Can't wait to try this more efficient way of downloading everything to an external hard drive. Thank you!

[raybright]

Good one Neil !!! So many YouTubers try to explain TakeOut & they drone-on for so long BUT your YouTube is clear and specific on how to do it in one short video.

[veryasianfailure]

Sir, you are a savior I didn't I needed. God bless you and all your silly train photos🙏🏾🙏🏾

[sarahlazar]

I was downloading photos the dumb way by selecting individually 🤣. Thank you, you have saved me so much time and effort!

[mavo.online]

Thank you for the informative video! I used to work in the tech industry, and it's literally beside me how simple tasks such as downloading your photos can be so difficult. Great video and thank you for the help.

[pxdlzft]

I like how concise your instruction was, however, I believe you skipped a step at the end. When you click on the download from your email it will be sent in a zip file. You need to tell them they need to right click on that file and EXTRACT ALL for each one!

[subbusubbu]

I tried it, but I have downloaded photos along with copy of each photo. Now I cant delete that copy. How can that be sorted out?

[LBCTITAN]

Thank you, this was a big help. You saved me hours of downloading.

[amseek]

Great tutorial thanks! Especially nice that you took the time to have visuals to correspond with your instructions. So many people get to: "What hamburger icon??" 👍

[l.k]

Thanks-you so much. I was stressing clicking each individual photo, just for it to unselect and having to start over again. This video has definitely been absolutely amazing. Very grateful, thank-you very much.

[tkmishra]

This video is by far the most needed ones and awesome explanation!!!
