Previously, the majority of Facebook users wanting to download their media from the site had to do it manually. From today, however, users with a Google ‌Photos‌ account can  automate the job, and Facebook says more cloud services will be supported soon (https://about.fb.com/news/2019/12/data-portability-photo-transfer-tool/).





Even if you've had enough of Facebook, the built-in tansfer tool is handy if you want to save your media before permanently closing your account (https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content). The following steps explain how it works.
