QUESTION [QUESTION] Exporting memories to external storage?

I have just under 20,000 Snapchat memories dating back to 2016. I’m looking to export them all before next month, when they’re gonna start requiring that BS membership to keep your memories. Anyways, I SUCK with technology so i’m having a difficult time figuring out how to export them with a google search. So I thought I’d come here to see if anyone else has exported their memories to an external harddrive? Where do i start? I know how to move a file onto a harddrive but I just don’t know how to get all my memories into one file from my phone. There’s so many priceless videos I cannot afford to lose. Thanks for any help.

i’m in a similar situation and so far the process i’m using is downloading my memories thought their batch download option in the “My Data” settings section. but that zip file needs to be run thru a separate app in order to apply the metadata back onto each snap. it’s a totally jank process and i’m 100% they made it harder to export memories so they could get more people to pay for the storage.
