  Hi, I’ve been uploading thousands of photos to my media library whilst travelling. In order to save space on my laptop, I’ve been deleting the originals afterwards. I’d now like to download them back onto a computer with sufficient memory, but I can’t see an option in the media library to do this.

  Is there any way I can download in bulk the entire contents of my media library?

  Thanks,
  Dan.

  Hi Dan,

  No, there is no way to download your entire media library in bulk. You will need to visit each of your images and save them directly to your hard drive. In the future, I recommend you use a file hosting service such as Dropbox or Google Drive to backup your files. We aren’t setup for such purposes (and we actually have it in our terms of service that you should not use our space in this way), so you will be much happier using one of the established services!

  Sorry for the inconvenience!
