# Exporting your data out of Ente Photos
|
|
|
|
Please follow the following simple steps to keep a local copy of the photos and
|
|
videos you have uploaded to Ente.
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to [our desktop app](https://ente.io/download/desktop), if you
|
|
haven't done so already.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Open the side bar, and select the option to **Export Data**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Choose the destination folder by clicking on three dots icon.
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
|
|
{width=400px}
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
4. Select the folder and then click on **Start**
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
|
|
{width=400px}
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
5. Wait for the export to complete.
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
|
|
{width=400px}
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
6. In case your download gets interrupted, Ente will resume from where it left
|
|
off. Simply select **Export Data** again and click on **Resync**.
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
|
|
{width=400px}
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Sync continuously
|
|
|
|
You can switch on the toggle to **Sync continuously** to eliminate manual
|
|
exports each time new photos are added to Ente. This feature automatically
|
|
detects new files and runs exports accordingly. It also ensures that exported
|
|
data reflects the latest album states with new files, moves, and deletions.

data. You can find more information about the export in the
