How to download ALL GOOGLE PHOTOS in just a few clicks. Save your memories!

How do you download ALL of your Google Photos and Videos?
I share how to download individual photos and videos from Google Photos, as well as in bulk and by day or date... But this isn't great for downloading the entire contents of all our photos and videos from Google for backing up or saving to a different storage. If you're facing the Google Drive storage full problem, there's a way to backup your Google photos by downloading them using Google Takeout.

** IMPORTANT ** Downloading via Google Takeout seems to remove the metadata for each photo, which is stored separately in .json files.
The only alternative that might save time or save lots of ticking and clicking is to put all the photos you want to download into a single album (or number of albums).
Select the photos - maybe by clicking and selecting them by days - then click the + button to 'create album'.
Go into the massive album (using the albums tab on the left hand side of Google photos, and clicking on the album to download)
Click on the 3 dots at the top right of the screen and select 'download all'.
The album will be downloaded with the metadata original file names intact.
The metadata seems to be there but the created date and modified date is the download date for me.
Hope this helps.

Also - I should have mentioned this in the video, but the downloads separate the metadata in the properties into separate files. I don't know why because it's really unhelpful.
If you want to download and keep the properties in the file, we have to download them directly from the Google Photos site.

One way to do this a bit more quickly is to put the photos into albums and download the album one album at a time. I hear this keeps the properties intact.
