This template checks Google Photos on a schedule, downloads new photos and videos in JavaScript, and uploads each file to a Dropbox folder.
Put the Google Photos access token in that JavaScript node. Connect Dropbox and choose the backup folder. Keep a last-seen timestamp in the same JavaScript so only new media is copied.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts on the cadence you set, such as hourly or daily.
JavaScript calls the Google Photos Library API and returns media added since the last run. Put the Photos token in that JavaScript node.
For each new file, Dropbox stores a copy in the folder you choose.
In Google Cloud, enable the Photos Library API and issue an access token with permission to list and download your library. Put that token in the JavaScript node or in Latenode secrets that node can read.
Add a Dropbox connection with write access to the folder that should hold the backups.
Add a schedule. In JavaScript, list mediaItems created after the last successful run, download each file, and upload it to Dropbox. Store the last-seen timestamp so the next run skips files you already copied.
