Someone shared a folder with 400 pics with each pic around 4-5 MB. Now no matter what I do, I can't download all the pics in the folder. It only downloads like 80 pics from the folder. I have tried multiple ways like selecting all the pics and download, direct download from folder etc. I have tried different browsers on both Mac and Windows! Looking up online, this seems like the issue others have faced too. Google people - How do I download these pics? And why is it so hard? So happy, I use only Dropbox which always works like a charm. #Google
Windows app or downloading from browsers?
Browsers. Tried both Chrome and Firefox. Signed and Incognito.
Downloading large amounts of data is the issue, browsers aren't cut out for that, unlikely related to Drive. Try the Drive app, whatever it's called these days (backup & sync?) Next time tell them to use G Photos, more suitable in this case.
It takes 15+ seconds to load a saved picture from drive on iPhone over wifi/verizon . Flicker is better but organization is better in google so have to use it.
Another thing is google group is so hard to use and find answers. They should just buy stackoverflow for 3b.
Why not use Google photos to share photos? Its the best thing ever! And google drive is amazing you must be doing something wrong.
You're not supposed to download them. The pictures belong to Google now.

putting things in google drive is like a burying a bone in a random backyard. give the gift of dropbox to this special someone.
I pay for 1TB Google Drive. It sucks, but everything else seems to suck more. Backup and Sync app keeps getting shittier. Constantly creates duplicates of my photos, or signs me out randomly and requires me to setup all over again. Whyyyy
GDrive is actually a perfect product. Idk how you find problems with it 🤔 one feature I wish for is document deduplication.
Sorry
😞
