Facebook accounts accumulate photos and memories of their users, often for years, and it is common for people to want to download these photos to access them offline or save them in other ways or in other services. Since the beginning of this year, Facebook has allowed users of its accounts, as part of its Data Transfer Project initiative, to transfer all their images through the Google Photos service , and from now on it is also possible to carry out this task in the service of Dropbox cloud storage . To carry out this transfer of photos and videos, it is necessary to register in the Facebook account and access the data portability page of the social network .
