How do I put photos from cell to my desktop?

[AC Question]

How do I force my photos to upload to the cloud? Then how do I connect to the cloud from my desktop? Then how do I download to my hard drive?

Alternatively, you can attach the phone to the computer using the USB cable and use the computer's file manager program to copy the files directly from the phone to the computer's hard drive.

Otherwise, you need to install Google Photos, or Google Drive, or DropBox or other file sharing service on both your phone and your computer.
