In this era of smartphones, most of our pictures are taken with smartphones. When we go out with a friend, spouse or family and decide to capture a moment; we instinctively go for our smartphone. It won't make sense if we all walk about with Nikon round our necks to capture special moments.
Scroll down and select the Google Photos check box. Select All photo albums included to select individual photo albums for inclusion in the Takeout archive. By default, every photo album is selected. Select Deselect All, then select the individual photo albums you want to download. In the Photos app, select Albums from the bottom of the screen. Tap on the album you want to download. Press and hold onto the first photo until you see a check in the box in the upper left corner.
Parents usually have hundreds if not thousands of pictures of their children while growing up – the first steps of a child, the first time the child learned to say Mom, or Dad, or a smile showing the baby's first tooth, etc.
We always have pictures that are very dear to us. They help us recreate past moments whenever we see them. Now imagine all the hundreds of pictures – priceless pictures, lost because your phone was stolen on the bus while closing from work; or for some reason we ignore, the pictures get deleted from your phone. All the hard work is gone!
Cloud Storage
To remedy this situation, Google provides all its customers free online cloud storage for their pictures. With Google Photos, your pictures remain safe even if your phone is stolen or damaged beyond repair. Another good advantage of Google Photos is that your pictures are available on any device with a browser that can access Google cloud services. You simply log into your Google account on the device and view your photos.
Google Photos allows you to add a partner to your Photos Account, a person who will have access to view and also add photos to the account. It is super easy to add your pictures online. Simply open the Photos app and log in if you haven't logged in already. Then go to settings and sync the app with your online storage (Google Account).
With Google Photos, the risk of losing your photos is considerably reduced, but not eliminated. What if you lose your Google Account? To further reduce the risk of losing your photos, you might want to have a copy of your photos on some hard drive, securely stored somewhere.
If something happens to your phone, you can fall back to your Google Photos, and if something happens to both your phone and Photos account, you fall back to your hard drive. Downloading all photos from Google Photos to a USB drive is easy, albeit not very straight forward. Follow the steps below to download your photos to your USB drive.
