Hello,

I can't find a solution to my problem! I would like to be able to download only the photos that I have sorted in the "favorites" folder of my gallery on Android (OnePlus 6T). Right now, I can only download everything (7500 photos...)

Thank you for your help :)

Configuration: Android / Chrome 73.0.3683.90

    Add a new folder in DCIM/CAMERA/New folder, then send your photos to this new folder, after that you can download them on your PC.

      Thank you for the response, I just tried, I can't find the folder created in DCIM/camera, once I search for it on my phone to move the photos from the favorites folder into it...

    Hello,

    You cannot export "Favorites," which is a library (or album).
    However, you can normally export its content:
    So enter Favorites and select its content (long press on the first photo, then click on "all" or select the rest)
    From that moment, sharing becomes possible and you can export your photos.

      Thank you Pierr10, unfortunately it's 1000 photos so I absolutely need to export them via my USB cable to my PC. And your solution doesn't give me the choice for export. I can indeed send them via email, Messenger, etc. But not via USB... It was a good solution!

        Okay. I hadn't considered the cable transfer and I understand better why there is a problem.
        File managers don't see the albums and it seems difficult to extract them.
        I tested the solution proposed by the druid (whom I greet) and I can't do it either: The created folder is not visible.

        If you have a good 4G speed (and if your provider doesn't count the gigabytes too much), do a share as I suggested. Send your photos to Google Drive or elsewhere. It should take you about half an hour.

      Yes, I only see this solution now... I'm going to buy more Google Drive storage because mine is full! Thank you.

    It should work either from your smartphone or from your PC.

    For example, on my Huawei P20, I click on File and then go to the folder > Internal Storage/DCIM/CAMERA/ here I add a new folder called Export PC

    Then, I select my photos in the Favorites folder and use the Move function to the folder Internal Storage/DCIM/CAMERA/Export PC. After that, from the PC, I just need to retrieve the folder.

    If you do it directly from your PC, it's even easier.

      Thank you, Druide. I have tried several ways and unfortunately the folder I created is never visible (OnePlus 6T). I don't know what's wrong; I sent an email to OnePlus support to see... if I have another solution, I will post it here. Thank you very much and happy Easter.

      Hello Druide,

      I also tested what you suggested on my Samsung. I'm not getting anywhere:
      On the smartphone, I can't find the option to transfer photos from a library to a folder,
      and on the PC, the libraries are not visible.
      I think you must have a "real" Favorites folder and not just a simple album.
