Tired of tediously selecting hundreds of photos in Google Photos one by one? We feel your pain! Luckily, there's a much faster way to select *all* your photos (or a large chunk of them) depending on what you need to do – archiving, deleting, or creating an album. Here's the quick rundown:
**Selecting all photos within a specific date range:**
1. Open Google Photos in your browser (this is where the 'select all' magic really happens!).
2. Scroll to the very first photo you want to select. Hold **Shift** and click it.
3. Then scroll down to the very last photo you want to select. Hold **Shift** and click it again.
**What about absolutely every single photo?**
Unfortunately, Google Photos doesn't offer a single button to select *everything* at once. The best workaround is to scroll down as far as possible and using the shift + click method. Consider filtering by year/month to make the selection process more manageable.
Enjoy the power of bulk selection and reclaim your precious time!
