In the search bar, I entered a year, selected the first and then shift selected the last to select all.

Thanks to Googles new Backup and Sync application for computers, you can now back up Google photos to your Windows PC or Mac automatically.

This change was brought about because of the growing concerns by users over the confusing connection between Google Drive and Google Photos, so Google made changes to simplify the experience.

Moreover, any photos or videos you delete in Drive wont be removed from Photos and vice versa.

This helps prevent accidental deletion as was the case among some users prior to the new arrangement.

It can also act as a redundant backup for files in other cloud storage platforms like OneDrive and Dropbox.

You can select either High Quality for a reduced file size at great quality, or Original Quality to keep the original photos size and resolution.

The latter counts against your Google quota, which for the free version caps at 15GB.

It may take some time depending on the number of photos you have to upload.

If you have many large photos, this process can take longer.

For me this is CATASTROPHIC as now all new photos will ONLY exist in Google Photos once they are deleted from my phones (or cameras which I also only usually sync with Google Photos).

As far as I can tell there is now no easy way to backup the photos from Google Photos, apart from manually downloading periodically, which really sucks imo and is a massive step backwards.

Also there is no physical address to which I can browse, they are just in the cloud under my login in Google Photos, so I have no idea where my photos actually are.

This makes me feels very insecure about the safety of my pictures as Google will have the only copy in existence and I am extremely unhappy about this, and would feel a whole lot better if I could sync Google Photos back down to my pc, as was possible using Backup and Sync until the July change.

My question to Google is WHY have they done this I understand and support their want to simplify the PhotosDrive experience, but removing the ability to sync back to your pc is nonsensical.

Click the More Options dots in the upper right corner for the download option, and select where you want them downloaded (or your browser will automatically put them in your downloads folder).

Files in Drive continue to sync, but new photos from Google Photos will never show up in Drive.

Files do NOT sync from Photos TO your computer, it only backs up new ones to the Photos web site.

Google Photos is now a dead-end photo backup service that is worthless for many users, as the photos only go into it and are difficult to get out.

Curious to see if they unzip properly, and if all of the images and data are available.

I have developed a pretty decent solution which works on WindowsLinuxMac.

A little technical effort is required to set it up but after that, it is pretty seamless.
