"A useful addition to the G+ Photos Instant Upload page! Now you can download your photos directly from the G+ Photos Instant Upload page. Just select the photos you want and hit the Download button. Enjoy!" - +Yevgeny Nyden
How?
To download photos from your Instant Upload folder, all you need to do is go to http://plus.google.com/photos (or just click the Photos icon on the navigation ribbon), this will take you to your Instant Upload folder by default. Then, select as many photos as you like by checking the boxes next to the date, or under each photo and then click "Download" that will be displayed on the grey bar at the top of the page. Photos will be downloaded in a compressed file format (ZIP folders), just extract and enjoy!Now, downloading photos is super easy, how it should be. This will be a welcome change for those who like to manually back up their photos onto a hard drive (just in case), or to do some offline image tweaking before re-uploading and sharing.
Will you be making use of the download button?
