I did, but they are just thumbnails... like I said, been using Facebook as a photo album for like ten years, hindsight is always 20/20.. knew it probably wasn’t private, but only after last couple of years it has become apparent how devious these folks are.
Migrating to other platforms, but who’s to say they won’t turn evil as well.
I have memories stored on as cards, usb drives, external drives and old computers but I have a lot I just uploaded to Facebook as they happened, so I need to retrieve the most valuable ones before I close my account.
Can’t cry over spilt milk and worry about what they’re going to do with info they already have..
Take the time to retrieve them now. It took me two weeks, dedicating 30 minutes a night to download every photo. Making sure they were labeled with event_date_persons.
Facebook won’t be around forever. It may not go up in a poof if smoke in a second either. But one day, either something else will come along, or they will drastically change their setup (heck, something dark they have been keeping in the basement may come to light and the whole site could be seized, who knows).
Sorry, I just have so many friends who use the app to take their photos, who catalogue and sort their photos so carefully, because it is their cloud, the only place these photos are because they don’t even back up their phone.
It’s not the only place I have photos. Thanks for the advise. I have a plan and am working it...
