How To Save Photos On Iphone To Google Drive

I use Google Drive to keep a backup of my photos that I've captured over the years because I ran out of storage on iCloud. While revisiting some of the old pictures on Google Drive, I realized that I couldn't download multiple photos to my iPhone at once. If you've been in a similar situation, I've found an easy way to save multiple photos from Google Drive to iPhone quickly. Let's check it out.

What's the Problem?

While the Google Drive app has plenty of intuitive features such as in-built FaceID and TouchID, you can't select multiple images and then download them to the Photos app. Google hasn't fixed this limitation for some reason, but we can with a simple workaround.

Turns out, Apple allows Google Drive to be mapped in the Files app so you can access all your files in one place. The Files app lets you access files stored in iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, and the iPhone storage.

When you open the Files app, you won't see the option to access Google Drive because we need to enable it first. Open the Files app on your iPhone and tap the browse button on the bottom of the screen.

Now, tap the options button on the top right corner to reveal the drop-down menu. Tap Edit.

You would see Google Drive with a toggle switch next to it, tap to enable it. We can now access Google Drive and all the files and folders stored on it.
