Backing up Amazon photos to external hard drive: a complete guide

Many Amazon Prime members face the problem of insufficient storage space for photos and want to transfer large amounts of photos to external hard drives. This article will provide a complete guide to help you back up your Amazon photos to other hard drives.

Amazon Photos – Cloud Backup Service

Amazon Photos provides Prime members with free online photo storage services, including unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5GB of video storage space. Amazon Photos can be regarded as a cloud backup platform, and many users use its automatic save function to automatically upload photo files to the cloud. This greatly simplifies the backup process without manual operations and saves a lot of time, especially with thousands of files.

However, cloud backup also has some shortcomings:

1. Slow backup speed and high energy consumption
2. Strong dependence on the network
3. May cause data loss
4. Security vulnerabilities

So if you rely solely on cloud backup as your only backup copy, think twice before doing it.

How to back up Amazon photos to hard drive?

In the Amazon forum, a user suggested that he wanted to back up all photos from his Prime account to an external hard drive, but he didn't know how to do it.

The user's question: "I have 150,000 photos and want to back up all the photos in my Prime account to my external hard drive. The number of photos is too large to select and download one by one. I'm thinking of sorting it into albums by year and downloading one at a time, but I'm worried about missing out on some old photos without date tags and it's hard to track which photos have been downloaded and how well it's downloaded. Is there a way to download all Prime photos and videos at once?"

The following steps will guide you through this:

First, you need to download all the photo files:

Step 1: Open the Amazon Photos website in your browser, click on the profile icon in the upper right corner, and select "Amazon Cloud Drive".

Step 2: In the new tab, you can select all files by selecting the "Select All" option at the top of the folder. You can also select All Files and Recent Files to make sure you get all the content you want to download.

Note: The download process may take a long time, depending on your network speed and number of files.

Step 3: Click "Download" to start the download process and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.

Once the download is complete, you can create a compressed file (zip file) to contain all the photo files you want to back up and then move this folder to your other hard drive.
