Google Plus gets slideshows and download feature for photo albums


Google has rolled out two new features on their Google Plus platform. These new features are connected to photo albums stored in your Google Account.

You can now watch slideshow of photo albums. You also get the ability to download complete albums.

The download feature is available on your own albums. It is also available on photo albums owned by others if they have enabled the feature in their account.

Google developer Andrew Lee spoke about these new features:

Well… you can now view album photos as a slideshow! Just open a photo in the lightbox, hit the slideshow button, and sit back and enjoy the photos full-screen (Example: http://goo.gl/5aNNA).

Today we’re also adding the ability to download complete albums. On an album page, click “More” and then “Download album” to get a .zip file containing the photos in the album (Example: http://goo.gl/EvfFH).
