How to download photos from google+ to pc

I found that the Desktop Uploader did not begin backing up my entire photo library contained in the Mac Photos app but only a handful of photos and screenshots outside of my library that I had scattered on my desktop and in a folder on my desktop. Even though I left the Pictures folder selected as a backup source, Google Photos did not touch the library database file that packages my entire photo library in the Pictures folder.

You will need to export any existing photos from the Photos app in order to back up them up to Google Photos. When I tested the ability to back up photos from a camera, I connected my Nikon to my Mac and got this message:.

At Mashable , Google Photos has quickly become our favorite online photo and video storage service because it's free and offers unlimited storage, as long as you're OK with photos being no larger than megapixels and videos no greater than p full HD resolution.

Another reason we love Google Photos: It's super easy to get your photos and videos from all your devices into one place. Here's how to do it.

Google Photos is available as a free app for iOS and Android. If you own a Nexus device with the latest version of Android or a device running a stock version of Android, you may already have it installed. Once downloaded, it's a matter of letting it auto upload all of your photos and videos into the cloud.

If you have tens of thousands of photos and videos like me, it may take quite a bit of time to get your files. Auto-uploading your photos and videos from your computer, camera and memory cards is equally as easy.

First, go to the Google Photos website and download the Desktop uploader. Install the app and then log into your Google account. You'll then be prompted to choose backup sources. On Mac, the app automatically includes your iPhoto Library, Apple Photos Library, Desktop and Pictures folders, but you can click the 'Add folder' button to add more folders or select an external storage location like a camera, memory card or hard drive.

You can also, of course, deselect the default backup sources. We recommend leaving the 'Photo size' set to 'High quality free unlimited storage. If auto-uploading and backing up your photos and videos from your computer is too extreme, you can always manually upload photos by going to photos. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files or folders directly into Google Photos to upload them.

Like Flickr, there's no direct way to import your photos from Facebook to Google Photos.

Getting your photos off Facebook is also more of a hassle. You've got two options: 1 manually download all the photos you want and re-upload to Google Photos or 2 download all of your Facebook data, locate your photos and videos, and then re-upload to Google Photos.

The latter will get you all your Facebook photos, but the process of downloading all your Facebook data takes an eternity. The situation is similar to getting your photos from other cloud services into Google Photos. You'll need to download pictures and videos to a computer and then re-upload them manually into Google Photos.

We know, it's time-consuming — and figuring out how to download all photos and videos can be a real pain if there's no 'download all' button. But look on the bright side, once they're all stored in Google Photos, you'll be able to search pictures for people and objects using its powerful search feature.
