How To Transfer Facebook Photos and Videos to Google Photos?

RakitAplikasi.com/en - Uploading media from Google Photos to Facebook is always easy. Now, Facebook has an upside-down role and wants users to easily send Facebook media to Google Photos too.

With the new photo transfer tool, you can synchronize Facebook pictures and videos to your Google Photos to have all of your media in one place.

This tool is based on code developed by the open-source Data Transfer Project. It was re-established in 2018 by Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Twitter, with Apple joining the party in 2019. The project aims to help technology giants develop tools to easily transfer user data across applications and services.
