Do you also use Google Photos<\/strong> to back up your phone or tablet photos? This convenient backup method has been a popular choice for many people. I am no exception either.<\/p>

But have you ever thought about backing up your Google Photos <\/strong>? I have. So, in this post, I want to share how to download and export all the photos and videos from Google Photos at once.<\/p>

Why I decided to back up my Google Photos<\/h2>

You might be wondering, since all your photos are already on Google Photos, why bother downloading and backing them up again?<\/p>

Honestly, it\u2019s just fear. I worry that one day my photos could be gone from the cloud, and I\u2019d seriously regret it.
Cloud storage is convenient, but it\u2019s not perfect. I keep a second copy of my data just for peace of mind.<\/p>

That\u2019s when I found Google Takeout<\/strong>, a tool that lets you download all the data from your albums.<\/p>

Using Google Takeout<\/h2>

Before you start, you\u2019ll need to sign in to your Google account. Then, head over to Google Takeout<\/a> to configure your settings. This feature isn\u2019t just for your photos; it also lets you export Gmail, contacts, calendars, and more.<\/p>

\"Google<\/p>

Create a New Export<\/strong><\/h3>

The first step in creating a new export is to select Google Photos. From there, you can adjust the export formats and choose specific albums.

Choose File Type, Frequency, and Destination<\/strong><\/h4>

I chose \"Send download link via email,\" but you can also choose to transfer the files to Google Drive or other cloud storage services.

Frequency<\/strong><\/h4>

Depending on your preference, you can choose to \"Export once\" or \"Export every 2 months.\"<\/p>

\"Google\u532f\u51fa\u8cc7\u6599\u9078\u64c7\u983b\u7387\u3001\u6a94\u6848\u985e\u578b\u548c\u5927\u5c0f\u53ca\u6a94\u6848\u5927\u5c0f\u7684\u8a2d\u5b9a\u756b\u9762\".<\/p>

File Type<\/strong><\/h4>

You can leave this setting as it is and select .zip<\/strong>.<\/p>

File size<\/strong><\/h4>

You can choose the size for each individual file based on your preference.Personally, I prefer using 4GB.
For instance, if your album has 100GB of data, you will get 25 separate 4GB zip files for download.<\/p>

Once you\u2019ve confirmed the settings, just click \"Create export\" to finish.<\/p>

Downloading Your Files<\/h3>

At this point, you'll usually need to wait about two to three days.Once your files are ready, Google will send you an email with the download links.Keep in mind that these links are only valid for one week.
Just click the links in the email to download your files, and you're all set!<\/p>

For me, as long as I know the data is fully downloaded, that\u2019s enough. Since I\u2019m keeping these as backups, I don\u2019t usually bother unzipping them. I store all the downloaded files on an external hard drive<\/strong>, so they don\u2019t take up any space on my computer.<\/p>

Summary<\/h2>

This is exactly how I back up my own Google Photos.<\/p>

It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t need these files on a daily basis; the important thing is that you won\u2019t have to worry about losing everything overnight.
If you keep your memories in the cloud, a second backup is definitely worth the effort!<\/p>
