How to Retrieve Google Backup Photos?

Last Updated :

If you are wondering about how to retrieve your photos backed-up in Google Drive, I have come up with a solution for you. If you delete a photo from your phone once backed, and you want it back on your phone, you need to download it from ‘Google Drive’ back.
Follow a few steps to retrieve your photos:

  1. Open ‘Google Drive’.
  2. Go to ‘Google Photos’ viewed from the main menu and select the photos to be retrieved.
  3. You can select multiple photos and then click the ‘Download’ option.
  4. To download single photo, go to the ‘Photos App’,view the photo you want to download and select the ‘Download’ button from ‘Menu’.
In both the cases your photos would be downloaded to the ‘Downloads’ folder. To view them in the ‘Gallery’ you need to move them to the ‘DCIM’ folder.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
