![]() As far as I can tell, Google Takeout lists every Google service that stores data of some kind, but this guide only covers Google Photos. The first thing you need to do is tell Google you want to initiate a data export from Google Takeout. There may be concepts here that are not fully explained and will require some of your own researching if you don't already know how to do it! If you're not comfortable with that, try to find someone who can do this for you instead. Getting Startedīe aware, this guide is recommended for people who are comfortable using a computer and following instructions. That'll be covered further down in the guide. It’s annoying and it takes a long time, but you stick with it, you can do it and this guide will help you! I also packaged up my own Google Photos export organizer so you can get your photos exported and sorted into a more usable and easier to view format. ![]() If you’re not willing to pay Google and/or you’re concerned about your data privacy (or maybe you just want to get your photos off Google to put on a different cloud hosting platform), read on! Do be warned, Google doesn’t want you to switch platforms, so they make it as inconvenient as possible to accomplish your goal. If you’re like me, you’ve enjoyed Google’s free photo upload system as a wildly convenient backup platform for all the photos on your phone, but with the free version getting cut and storage space shared with Google Drive, I suddenly find myself with a very small amount of storage space remaining! First, I do need to make it clear that Google’s pricing for storage is very good at about $2 per month or $20 per year for 100 GB, and if you’re able to pay the monthly or yearly fee, Google Photos is (in my experience) unmatched in its convenience and features! Just keep it in the back of your mind that Google may shut down this system at any time in the future as well. While Google isn’t shutting down its Photos system by any means, they are ending free high quality uploads on J( except for Google Pixel phones exclusively) at that time, photos uploaded to Google Photos will start counting toward your (still very generous) 15GB of free cloud storage that’s shared with Google Drive and Gmail. Google also has a history of shutting down projects that many people rely on with very little warning. Google is amazing, and they have provided many great services for many years.
