Here's how to download albums from Google Photos

Google Photos is an excellent photo and video storage solution.

Its functionality extends beyond categorizing, storing, organizing, and managing thousands of your precious pictures and videos with amazing backup capabilities.

However, the most important thing is that Google Photos leaves more storage space on your smartphone due to its 15 GB of free storage. But sometimes, you might require downloading an album in order to access it offline.

It is not possible to download Google Photos albums via Android or iOS application and can only be done through the desktop site.

It’s still very easy to accomplish, and this article will guide you on how to download albums from Google Photos.
