Yes I have a USB port,....I think ...quite sure

so do I buy a memory stick and download all my pictures in it ?

Yep, and they're cheap these days. By a bigger gig size than you think you need, especially if you have a bunch of videos.

I was at Cosco yesterday and they had a pack of three 64GB flash drives for about $20 or one 256GB drive for about $33..........

I'm still "old school" by burning "backups" or Linux operating system ISOs on 700MB or 4.7GB DVDs but perhaps I need to start saving my "airgun stuff" to flash drives.

My laptop has a built in card reader. I have the adapter card for the micro sd chips. I like that setup. I can use the micro sd chips like thumb drives.

I became familiar with one of those 'micro sd chips' when I needed to increase memory on my GPS.  They are about the size of my thumbnail and hold about a gazillion bites of stuff.  Amazing to me  --  I started with a 4K Computer and 'floppy disks'.  We have come a long way!
When my Judy and I need something done to our devices, we get the 8-year old grandson to handle it.

You might be able to move them into a album or might have to dl each one individually.

I think my Chromebook being the cheapest has just very little storage space, I was able to download a few more individual pictures but that was it.

Looking on Amazon for those Flashcards,....WOW you learn something everyday, they are pretty cheap I'll order a couple.

When I download how does it know to go to the flashcard instead of  trying to go to the computer files ?

sorry, real dumb here

Manny, on my computer [MAC], there is an area called "FINDER" and the icon is a square smiling face.  When I attach a foreign device [such as my camera] using a USB connection (https://www.buyprinters.com/p36200-generic-usb-a-to?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=36200&r160162161159=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4L_qgYS56gIVy5-zCh0DhQxUEAQYBSABEgJJBvD_BwE),
that device shows at the bottom of the Favorites area in the leftmost column of the window that opens.  Clicking on that device in that column will show its contents.
From there, it gets sort of individual device specific.
Others computers are different but similar.
Good luck.

I haven't used a Chromebook but with Windows the memory Card/Stick will show up as a Drive when inserted so, you just choose the location to save it to. I would imagine the Chromebook is similar.

I ditched PB a long time ago. I had all my images backed up elsewhere but am still bummed out that so many of my old posts and the posts of others are messed up by the sudden change. Practically none of the old tutorials that used PB are restored or intact. It just goes to prove that when using a third party hosting site it is probably just a matter of time until your post are messed up. On the forums there is no easy way to go back and edit all the posts one has made to restore them. So I believe hostage is the proper term for those that got caught up in it. I don't blame them for wanting to make money for their service but they destroyed a lot of historical post on the forums by their choice or ability to not keep the old posted photos grandfathered in.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Yeah, that is one thing I'm gonna be real bummed about,

I have so many posts and some real good tutorials and I wander if once I stop paying all those pictures will just disappear

All this tech stuff is just so much voodoo to me.  My approach to computers is entirely informed by superstition.  Computers are possessed by malevolent spirits.  I perform a ritual sacrifice and spill a libation of coffee before genuflecting to the laptop.  I light joss to propitiate the internet spirits.  I say prayers to the CPU god so my computer will boot up.  When all else fails I just get my wife to do it for me.  Much easier and it makes her feel superior.

They pretty much will happened to my old posts of other forums

I guess, If I can download the pictures I can go back and edit every post,......Geez, that would be a monumental job

If on here I think a mod would have to edit it.

And that is the leverage of the hostage holders!

I don't know if that's how I feel.... I only understood about half of what the man said....

I think you may have violated rule #3 NO DISCUSSIONS OF RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL SUBJECTS PERMITTED AT ALL.   

But hopefully it was just the Joke I think it was.    LOL

My daughter just gave me a 16GB flash card.

Seems like I still need to download to the computer files and then transfer to the card.

I'll play with it when I come back, need to go to town now

Generally there is an option to set a location to DL too. In windows it's in the general settings area. It will be a process much like this.

Change download locations
You can choose a location on your computer where downloads should be saved by default or pick a specific destination for each download.

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under the "Downloads" section, adjust your download settings:
To change the default download location, click Change and select where you'd like your files to be saved.
If you'd rather choose a specific location for each download, check the box next to "Ask where to save each file before downloading."
Default download locations
If you didn't change your default download location, then Google Chrome downloads files to the following locations:

Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista: \Users\<username>\Downloads
Mac: /Users/<username>/Downloads
Linux: /home/<username>/Downloads
