TLDR: Is there a way to actually download my large video files after they've been backed up? The download manager fails with anything larger than like 1 minute / 200mb.

There's no ability to select which files get deleted locally during a backup, it just deletes everything. Then if I need those video files back for editing, I have to download them manually. But the download manager just takes forever and then eventually fails. It literally fails 100% of the time with anything bigger than a minute or two. I have no internet problems or problems downloading other files. It's just Google Photos.
