Can't get photos from google photos to my sd card. I am running out of space and my card is virtually empty

Create a folder on the SD card with the same app you're going to use to move the files. Then copy the files, one by one, and paste them to that folder. Check the files to make sure they copied properly (IOW, look at them with a photo app - the album name will be the folder name so for now name the folder something unique). If a file copied correctly you can delete the original. Once all of them are done, you can rename the folder with the album name you want. (You can also use Move instead of Copy, but if a Move goes bad in the middle, you could lose both the original and the copy.)
