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

How do we download all our photos  and videos from Google photos?  Like me, you might have hit your free 15GB  storage limit on Google and want to download   them... so you can delete your photos  and videos to free up that storage and   get your Google account working again. Or  you might just want to back up your photos   and videos to store them somewhere else,  like your laptop or these hard drives!  Hello I'm Neil, welcome back to the Happy Hut. You and I are going to download to keep   forever every photo and video  Google has ever stored on us.  First let's go into Google Photos and I'll  show you the problem with downloading this way.  This is my Google photos account and say  I want to download this photo of my bench.  I just click on the tick in the corner  to select it... or I can select a few   pictures... or even the tick next to the  day to select ALL the photos for that day.  Then we'll go up to the top of the  Google photos page: we have these icons.  But we want THIS menu button with the  three dots, which brings up these options.  Obviously we want to download, and that starts  the download to wherever we want to save them.  So if I click on “Show in Finder”, those  photos have been downloaded here as a zip file,   so I'll unzip them and there they are. But this is a terrible way to download   all our pictures and videos. It would mean a lot of clicking   and ticking to get everything. Instead, we are going   to go here: takeout.google.com Google Takeout is the place where we can   download all of our data that Google holds on us. Don’t forget to double check on the top right   hand corner that you're logged in on the right  Google account. Just click on this Avatar here.  This is just a little bit terrifying because  this is the list of all the Google products   storing my data. We've got Fit and podcasts...  Gmail... and all of them are ticked for download.  We just want Google Photos so let's deselect  all those check boxes and thankfully it's in   alphabetical order, so go back down to Google  photos. There it is, and we'll tick that box   and that highlights these windows here. It shows the formats that you can download in.  You can also select individual albums  but we want to export everything so   we'll just leave everything ticked. Now we can scroll down and click on   “next step” and this brings up some options  for the download. So I'm going to choose to   “send download link via email”. I want to export it once,   and I want to export it as a zip file. You can also choose the size of chunks   that you download your information in. I'm going to click on 10GB and now we can go   down to the button here: “Create Export” and that  shows us that the export’s in progress. Now the   friendly message here reminds us that this process  can take a long time. Let's do a time jump!  Well I wasn't expecting this! It took  about one minute. I've got this email here:   “Your Google data is ready to download”. That was  so fast! Let's click on “Download your files” and   it might need to check your password but it  brings us to “Manage your exports”. And I can   now click on this button down here, and we are  now downloading this file down in the corner.  Let's open up the folder, and there is  incredibly all of our photos and videos.  We can obviously store these  wherever we like, forever!  If this video is helping thank you for  hitting the thumbs up or the Subscribe   button it really helps me out, and right here  is how to reduce the size of your photos and   videos in Google photos. Good luck with your  Google storage! Can you please help my dad get   1 million subscribers. Just click on his  face, thanks bye! Can we have dinner now?
