I just came back from South America with hundreds of pics and tried to move them to my PC. I have always been able to do this before but evidently Google is making it all but impossible. Suggestions? Help!!

You can also connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable, change the default "charging mode" to "file transfer mode" and then move or copy the jpg files using Windows Explorer on your PC.

I did it using the phone and cable. My Internet research said that Google Takeout lost their data. I for sure wasn't going to try that. Thanks for responding.
