A friend scanned and digitized about 115 old 35mm Slides from the early 1970's for me and emailed them to me so I could Edit & Organize them in Google Photos.
I am not able to 'Import' or 'Move' them into G Photos, even after Googling it and following their instructions! - (One says to click 'Gmail’s Save to Photos Button', - No Button!)
Another says to add them to 'Drive', then Select/Highlight the desired photos, then 'UPLOAD' them into Photos.
I got them into 'Drive', but NO 'Upload' Button!
Any HELP out there?? - Thanks in Advance, - Pat

How do you move a jpg from your camera to Google photos?

I haven't used Google Photos for a while, but when I did, when you are in Google Photos, you are given an option to 'upload from computer" with the instructions and procedure.

I import first to PSE and then export to the computer file, then upload to Google Photos.

Thanks for your answer. It's not clear from my post, but I was directing my question to the OP.

I hope I understand what you want to do. I think you want to download files that are in Google Photos to your computer or other device. In Google Photos click one image. Then in the upper right corner, you should see 3 vertical dots. Click that and one choice will be to download the image. Hope this helps

To add to my earlier reply...You need to save (as) the emailed photos to file. You can add to the name or rename.
Go to Google Photos. There is an 'upload' symbol.
Click and all your files will appear so you can browse to your emailed files.
Click on them and then 'open'.
You can do more than one at a time .I suggest five.

Thanks so much, but I wasn't clear enough. -
It's actually the opposite, - I have 115 jpegs converted from 35mm Slides, that my friend Digitized and sent via Gmail to me at My Gmail account. - I know that I can Highlight them all with Click-Shift-Click, but I can't see any 'Buttons' for Moving, Uploading, or Importing them to Google Photos!
It's driving me nuts, bc, I know there MUST be a simple way to get this done.
Thanks Again, - Pat

The upload button is In Google Photos.
It says "upload "
After you save the Photos in your computer files, you close and go to Google Pbotos. You will see the upload symbol with an arrow pointing up.
Click on it and then browse to your files.
PM me later and I'll give you my number

Hi Bubbie! - Well, I said I'd get back soon, but Three Days later, I JUST got my jpegs into Google Drive, and this morning, with some help from my Sweetie,- Finally got them into G Photos!
MAN!! - I love a lot about Google, but this was INSANE! - It needs to be made much more simple, and I have mentioned several times on these Posts, that Google should have left 'Picassa' alone for those of us who preferred to 'Keep it Simple'. - It had it ALL, - Organizing, Great Editing, and the ability to Email Directly from the page!
Thanks for your help, and Interest, - Pat
