...yes, and if you select the first photo (or group) and then scroll to the last photo (or group), hold down shift and tick the last photo (or group) to select all the photos, three dots, Download. Puts all the photos in a Zip file in your Chromebook Download directory.

or if you have thousands of Pics use 'Google Take Out'

Aaaaaargh!!!!!  I'm losing the will to live here.  OK ... with your help we've finally arrived at the situation where my wife's phone is now set up to automatically back up all her pictures to Google Photos, and it's just finished doing that.  I now want to download them all so I can copy them to the USB stick, but despite several searches on Google we still can't work out how to select all on a Chromebook.

So, starting with Photos open on her Chromebook, exactly what do I do in order to select all so that I can then presumably see the three dots top right via which I can download all the pictures?

There are a few ways of doing it. The first is by select the first image (hover over it and click the whit circle with the check on the top left corner of the thumbnail) then keeping the shift key pressed scroll down to the last image you want and select that one, all images in between will now be selected. Another way is to create an album with all the pics you want and to download the album.

Thanks very much indeed for all your help folks, with which we've finally managed to do the deed
