I enjoy exploring APIs, but I find Google's to be tough to figure out sometimes. Have a drink nearby, because this is guaranteed to be somewhat painful. If you go this route, you'll want to read their Getting started with REST guide for how to enable the Google Photos Library API.
Set it up as a service or whatever, so it runs periodically when your PC is on. Make use of the Photos Library API to write a script that downloads new photos. Solution 3: Write your own script to download photos You can still go back and download everything periodically, but at least this is somewhat automatic. In the "customize archive format" screen, be sure to choose the "scheduled exports" option. Solution 2: Schedule a download (sort of) for a yearĮvery year (on your birthday? Christmas?), go to and schedule to get a download link containing your photos every other month. Solution 1: Select new photos and download themĮvery once in awhile, go to, select all your new photos and download them. Here are some solutions, from least better to best better.
Unfortunately, Google has a nice little utility called Backup and Sync, which conveniently and reliably backed up Drive to your PC. In an ironically named blog post titled " Changing how Google Drive and Google Photos work together" (which could be summarized as "they won't anymore"), Google explains how your photos will no longer sync with Drive, because "simplification, less confusion, something something".Īnyone who used it is greeted with this message:
