Once you’ve selected the desired photos/images, click the “vertical ellipsis” (three vertical dots) in the upper right-hand corner.

Continue scrolling through your photos, clicking each one you’d like to move to Amazon Prime Photos.

Hover your cursor over a photo you’d like to download, then click on the “translucent white checkmark” (it will turn blue).

Click on “Photos,” located on the left-hand side of the window.

Open “Google Photos” in a browser on your computer and sign in to the correct account (usually your primary Google account).

If you have a higher storage phone or tablet, it may be possible to use that. It’s probably best to use your computer to download your images in Google Photos because you’ll need the storage space for a minute. Downloading Google Photos Using Your Computer The first step is to download your images from Google Photos. The instructions will differ slightly depending on whether you’re using your phone or your computer. This download/upload process isn’t the easiest or fastest workaround, but it is the one available right now. Compared to Google Photos’ “1-person sharing” and two print options, Amazon is the clear winner here. Amazon Prints offers many valuable options for printing your photos on various items. Family Vault allows you to add up to 5 family members to your Photos account, meaning that they also gain access to Amazon Photos with no charge. This feature is convenient for photographers and graphic designers, who would be able to store an unlimited number of RAW files on Amazon Photos instead of having them automatically converted to JPEG by Google Photos or compressed to lower resolutions.Īmazon Photos also offers Family Vault and Amazon Prints. At the same time, Amazon Prime members can upload an infinite number of full-resolution photos to the app. Google allows you to have up to 15GB of free storage for Google Photos and other data using Google Drive. Amazon Photos BenefitsĪmazon Photos excels when it comes to storage limits. If you ever get locked out of your Google account, your favorite pictures will reside in Amazon photos for easy access. Having higher-quality images and the additional storage space will make it worth it. You can still get your photos from Google Drive to Amazon Prime, but it will take some work. Unfortunately, Google Photos no longer allows sync with Google Drive, so the sync and upload workarounds no longer work.

However, importing images from Google Photos to Amazon Photos is tricky and will take some time.
