Can you not just download all the photos through google drive in bulk?

I looked, whilst photos appears as a folder in drive, there is no option to "download all", and it would require me to load them into the browser view, select them, and then choose to download them.

For reference, I have 125GB of photos since 1994 in there... it would take a very long time to select them all.

I can right click my Google Photos folder and download the whole thing as a zip, just tested it and it works fine.

You can use google takeout to download a zip archive of literally all your photos.

You can install Google Drive Desktop and sync them to your computer all at once.

Could you use the Google Drive program and then sync that folder to your local machine?

I use Linux: https://www.google.co.uk/drive/download/

There is no client.

The lack of a Linux client really really pisses me off.
