Thus you will learn how to save multiple images from Google Photos to your computer hard drive directly.<\/p>\n<p>But with the effect of June 1, 2021, Google\u2019s policy has been changed.

All the photos will be existing with original quality images. Hence, in the below section, we will discuss different possible ways to download Google photos effectively.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/backup-google-photos-to-hard-drive\/#Best_Ways_to_Backup_Google_Photos_to_an_External_Hard_Drive\" >Best Ways to Backup Google Photos to an External Hard Drive<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/backup-google-photos-to-hard-drive\/#Method_1_Download_Data_From_Google_Photos\" >Method 1: Download Data From Google Photos<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/backup-google-photos-to-hard-drive\/#Method_2_Save_Data_Using_Google_Takeout\" >Method 2: Save Data Using Google Takeout<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/backup-google-photos-to-hard-drive\/#Download_All_Google_Photos_to_Hard_Drive_Using_Gmail_Backup_Tool\" >Download All Google Photos to Hard Drive Using Gmail Backup Tool<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/backup-google-photos-to-hard-drive\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Ways_to_Backup_Google_Photos_to_an_External_Hard_Drive\"><\/span>Best Ways to Backup Google Photos to an External Hard Drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can download single as well as multiple images from Google Photos through the Official website to the hard drive.

You can use this web app if you need to back up a few files. For this, you need to select your files manually.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sign in<\/strong> to your <strong>Google Account<\/strong> by entering your credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Google Apps<\/strong> and click on <strong>Google Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Now, <strong>Select the Photos<\/strong> you want to download and click on the <strong>More<\/strong> options.<\/li>\n<li>After that, tap on the <strong>Download<\/strong> option to download all Google Photos to Hard Drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By doing this, your Google photos will be successfully downloaded into your system in the ZIP file format.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Save_Data_Using_Google_Takeout\"><\/span>Method 2: Save Data Using Google Takeout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Users can backup Google Photos to Hard Drive at once using the Google takeout method. It lets you export the data that is being held in your Google account. For this, you have to follow the step-by-step process for the same.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Login to your <strong>Google Mail<\/strong> account by typing your <strong>Id and Password<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Profile Image\/Icon<\/strong> and click on <strong>Manage your Google Account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Download your Data<\/strong> option in the <strong>Data &amp; Privacy<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n<li>Now, on the Google Takeout page, deselect all the items and select <strong>Google Photos<\/strong>. Press <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>After that, select the <strong>Delivery Method<\/strong> as <strong>Send the Download Link via Email<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the next step, select the <strong>Frequency<\/strong> as <strong>Export Once<\/strong> and choose the <strong>File Type &amp; Size<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Hit the <strong>Create Export<\/strong> button and download your data by tapping the <strong>Download<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your <strong>Gmail password<\/strong> and tap on the <strong>Sign-in<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>At last, Open the mail from Google takeout and save your files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both the above methods help the users to backup Google photos to hard drive manually. But the manual process is lengthy and consumes more time for the users. Also, there is no surety of the entire data to download. Hence, we recommend users opt for the professional approach that instantly backup Google photos to an external hard drive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_All_Google_Photos_to_Hard_Drive_Using_Gmail_Backup_Tool\"><\/span>Download All Google Photos to Hard Drive Using Gmail Backup Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cigati<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/gmail-backup-tool\/\">Gmail Backup Tool<\/a> is an instant and effective way to backup the entire Google mail items such as emails, photos, contacts, calendars, etc. The software converts Gmail items to multiple file formats such as PST, PDF, MBOX, MSG, and many more.
