How to Download ALL your Photos and Videos from Google Photos!

hey everybody there's Rebbe pence the true flametech so I get this question a lot how can i download all of my google photos or backups of my photos and videos that's on the Google Photos service right to my computer either I want to store it some other way or manipulate a bunch of the files at once whatever so we're gonna try to do this in like under five minutes maybe under two let's see how fast we can get there but first I want to just give you a quick explanation of what Google photos is Google photos is the most excellent backup service really that you can use as long as you try someone else with your information you're okay with that I'm not even sure I am but let's pretend for the moment we are because I certainly you know have used services like this before and it's fantastic because Google photos will backup all your photos videos photos and videos I guess for free under certain size limitations whether it's on your Android your iPhone your iPad your you know your PC or Mac as long as you install the Google photos application or Google backup and sync if you're on PC and Mac now I think they call it it's getting back though this stuff up for free like all of it with very few exceptions like if you're trying to backup a movie obviously it's not they do like a 20 minute movie or something like that or more but you know with some within reason so it backs it all up automatically you do nothing and then automatically on all those other devices you can see all that stuff and you can search it but I face plays well there there is a dog or a hand or a beach and in the picture or video it knows analogue so automatically create collages animations and home movies for you like automatically but you do literally nothing but install the application I've had to do amazing things where it says oh hey look it looks like this person who's been your life for a while watch how they grow up and it puts music to it it's automatic it's creepy but it's cool it's actually way better than I ever could have done but without further ado let's get into how we can download all of our pictures off of Google photos all of our videos off Google photos all in one step so that we can you know have a separate separate backup or move off of Google permanently so here we go let's do that all right coming in at two minutes 36 seconds right now so let's get on to it first thing you want to do is open up your firefox or chrome your internet explorer however you normally access the Internet I have Firefox for a year I like it for privacy and speed it doesn't suck as much now so the easiest way to do it is straight up go to google.com if you already signed in with your Google Photos account you can just click on your face at the top right and it's gonna show you you know your email address that you've signed up with and what you want to do is click on the big blue my account button next thing you want to do is scroll down to the center center of the page right there you can see my mouse moving right over there and we're gonna click control your content right there control your content and it says download or transfer your content this is fantastic so we're gonna click that big blue Krait archive button right there just won't give you enough time to see that right underneath the person on scooter that image might change Google changes stuff too often but right now it says create archive right click create archive and now it says ok well what do you want an archive of what do you want to download from Google and then at this point you start to understand how much of you that they own yeah I mean that sounds kind of conspiratorial but literally they yeah this is all Google services you probably didn't even know Google onto YouTube I of course did but yeah that's a lot but anyway you know it's the price you pay for the convenience that literally no one else can put Facebook and Amazon are getting close though all right so what we want to do is actually select none' select this button we don't want to download all that information it's crazy we don't need it we just want to scroll down to google photos so let's find the photos icon looks like a little pinwheel same as on your phone or computer usually all right hit the little toggle button right near it and we're gonna scroll down to next and all of these options are fine the way they are Google is pretty good about figuring out how you want it so basically how this works is goes gonna compress all these photos and videos and send them to you in big packages and the only retime you'd ever really want to change any of this stuff is if you want to send all these photos and videos to another service which is probably not why you're here and you have a really fast internet connection if you have a really fast internet can actually you can choose the 10 or 50 gigabyte chunks otherwise forget it you don't have to understand anything what I said just click the giant create archive button click the create archive button and magically they're gonna go ahead and compress all the information you're gonna get an email at the account listed at the top right and you're gonna just click the link in there it's gonna download like anything else like you download something else also if you didn't have a lot there it'll pop up automatically like it did on my screen and you could click download but if you've been using it for a while it's gonna take like a day it's gonna take a lot also it just so you know it's actually very very normal for these downloads to fail try clicking it again try waiting try shutting down your computer restarting it make sure you have fast internet connection don't use like McDonald's Wi-Fi it's not gonna work just make sure you're not doing really anything else on the computer if you can help it at least not on the internet while you're downloading this stuff I've seen it crash computers crash browsers just not work so anyway that's it that's all there is that is how you download all of your information from Google honestly you can check out all those boxes download it all and say Google see you around be here anymore or if you just wanna have another backup that's how you do it so thanks for joining us that your flame tech channel give me a call or email or some edits I get at tier you e FL a dot a me
