How to download from Google Photos to your Computer or Laptop

On November 12, 2020, Google made an announcement that would completely change the way photo backup is done in the future. Until now, all of us had been enjoying the sweet taste of free unlimited photo storage, but not anymore.

June 2021 onwards, Google will no longer offer free photo storage to its users. Therefore, all users will have to follow the Google Photos storage limit wherein you will get only 15GB of storage.

One method of overcoming this problem is to transfer Google Photos to a computer.
