For the tech savvy, how to copy the folder Photo Album from Google Drive to your device

Brief guidance and suggestions
. These instructions are for Windows 10 22H2
. The full album is 10.6GB and growing with every update. You will receive several .zip files.
. The version without video or music is 1.3GB and will probably arrive as a single .zip file.

1. Create a new folder on your drive C: called PhotoAlbum.
. Or an alternative drive of your choice, note, no space in PhotoAlbum.

2. Download the folder PhotoAlbum from Google Drive as a .zip file
. Use one of the Google Drive share link URLs that I sent you to access my Google Drive.
. You should see PhotoAlbum top left with a long, long list of folders and files below.
. Click on "Download all" (top right, small blue text on the Google Drive screen) and follow the screen prompts.

3. Extract the files from the ZIP file to your new folder C:\PhotoAlbum on your HDD ( or SSD).
. If you have multiple .zip files, be vigilant when selecting the destination folder.

4. Double click welcome.htm to open guess what - the welcome page.
. All done, set up to view. A shortcut to welcome.htm on your desktop is useful.

5. All working OK? Good, now tidy up your hard disc.
. Delete the file "PhotoAlbum-20260329T051643Z-3-001.zip" from your Downloads folder

6. In future - don't download, synchronise updates.
. I use FreeFileSync. Set up to update the Google copies from my working copy.

7. Copy the album to a USB stick.
. For backup and to view the album on different devices.
