How to transfer content from Google Photos to your computer in a few steps
Google Photos is used by many people around the world to store important documents , as well as photos of different moments to remember.
However, as with most services, Google has eliminated free and unlimited storage, so there's now a limit to the amount of space available at no cost. If you don't want or can't afford to pay for a subscription to get more storage, you risk losing the ability to store more files in the cloud.
To avoid exceeding storage and risking losing documents, you can download photos and videos to a computer , freeing up space and being able to continue saving other things without any problems.
