It was a very good question from the wife and I admitted to her that I didn&#8217;t have the answer. After a few minutes of research I discovered that Google has a tool called <a title=\"Google Takeout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/settings\/takeout\" target=\"_blank\">Google Takeout<\/a> which allows you to save your Google data (bookmarks, mail, calendar, contacts, drive, profile, hangouts, google+ circles, google+ stream, google+ pages, blogger, messenger, youtube, google photos, google play books, tasks, location history, maps, and baraza).<\/p>\n<p>So the steps to download all your photos is simply:<\/p>\n<p>1. To go to Google Takeout\u00a0https:\/\/www.google.com\/settings\/takeout<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0Login to your Google Account<\/p>\n<p>3. Select what you want to backup. In this case select none at the top right hand corner and then just select Google Photos as that&#8217;s what the wife wanted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3015 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all\" alt=\"Google Photos Backup\" width=\"444\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all 444w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup-146x300.png?strip=all 146w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all&amp;w=88 88w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all&amp;w=266 266w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Google-Photos-Backup.png?strip=all&amp;w=355 355w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.
