For those who are asking how you transfer it after you get the bar that says "cancel or move here": After you select your pictures, you press the general back button and navigate to find your sd card in the files section. The bar below doesn't disappear while you select the folder you want to put it into. Then when you found the folder in your sd card, the "MOVE HERE" button becomes clickable. Thats when it moves your files; same thing if you want to copy files. THEN YOU PRAISE ME BECAUSE I AM A WIZARD!

Awesome tip!! I was wondering why the "move here" button wasn't illuminated like it showed on the video. Hit the back button a couple times, chose the sd card, created a folder and moved it into the new folder!! It WORKED!! THANK YOU!!!

Ok so this video was posted 3 years ago so yes ur right there has been a lot of up dates to change things. When it gives you that message to move or cancel that is a pop up & will be unaffected when selecting options behined it. So what You want to do is go back to the main folder where you selected pictures and select SD card instead then create your folders and pick your destination where you want to put them then you click on that pop up move here and it should move as many pictures as you want I just did it and I moved 5800 at a time I don't know what the limit is but that's just how much I moved.

However, I can't seem to find any video that would help me know how to transfer Google Drive photos to an SD card. I'm afraid of clicking any icons since I don't know what they mean. I keep searching and most of what comes up is for newer phones. Whatever they are doing doesn't look anything like on my phone and nothing to do with Google Drive. Google Drive is almost maxed out and I really need to free up space. I just don't know how to get all those photos out of there. Please help me. Or anyone that sees this comment if you know how. I'm really not a techy person at all and at this point I am begging. Please and thanks in advance.

Sorry - I tried all the tips you suggested, other than talking and clicking each option too fast, this was not helpful. Although, your video has been the only one that used my phone. I have tried restarting/closing-starting from the beginning and while it shows the Micro SD card, I can’t get it to do the “copy” and all the other options you described (and quickly) demonstrated. What ideally I would want to do is to transfer all photos to the card and have the phone automatically load any photos I take to the card (like I was able to do with my Samsung A2 (great phone but the 5mpixel camera not so). I’ve been searching for A8 (2018) ever since I realized there are multiple versions of the A8 depending on when they were made and like I had said, yours finally had my phone and was even remotely close to what I was looking for.
