Need help transferring 250GB of photos and videos from Google Cloud to a hard drive without paying for storage

My wife has been backing up photos and videos to Google Cloud (250GB) since 2018, and we're looking to clear everything off there and store it on a separate hard drive. We don’t want to keep paying for Google Cloud storage, but it seems like Google has made the process of transferring everything as difficult as possible.

Ideally, I’d like to drag and drop files into a folder via File Explorer, but it doesn’t seem like that’s possible. I’ve tried using Google Takeout, but when downloading the large files, they often crash midway through.

Has anyone found a better way to download large amounts of data from Google Cloud without the hassle? I would really appreciate any suggestions or tips to make this process easier.

Thanks in advance!
