You do not send pictures to your "Google account", you send it to service which is included in your account (e.g. Drive, Photos, Gmail). Do you mean adding pictures to Gmail messages? If not, please specify.
And I'm not sure what ultimately you want to achieve. Your picture is on the smartphone in Camera/Gallery/DCIM/wherever, why do you want a copy in Downloads? And if you do need a copy, there are ways of doing it without up/downloading |

Thanks janusz for your respnse. If i am out away from my PC and take a picture with my phone that I wish to keep so i send it to one of my email addresses and from there i send to my PC. I can do this with some of my emal addresses but if i send picture to my google email address i cannot send to my PC ( i can forward picture from my google address to another address and from that email i can send to my PC)

Saving images from Gmail web interface to your PC
I don't understand the exact details of what software you are using, but I have no difficulty in moving images from my iPhone to my Windows 10 PC. Here is what I do:

I'm glad it's working for you now. I know it's aggravating when you can't figure out how to do something that must be possible!
If all else fails, don't forget to left-click or right-click on areas of the screen related to what you want to use. At my job we produce software which uses right-clicks to show a menu with choices meaningful to that area of the display. Bill |

I assume you also know about Google Photos? You can use the Google Photos app on your phone and set it to automatically store all your photos, for free, in your Google account. Then all your photos are automatically available anywhere you log into that Google account. IMHO it is the best photo backup service available. The free storage is limited to something that Google calls High Quality, which may reduce the size of the stored images somewhat. Still many online reviews have compared High Quality to original images and the Google version is amazingly close. I personally compared some images at very high magnifications and I couldn't detect the difference. Some Google Pixel phones allow you to have the images stored at original quality.
