When you do, a blank check box will appear. See the screenshot below.Īlternatively, without clicking the check box next to “Name” caption (as noted above), you can hover your mouse pointer over a file. You can deselect files by clearing their corresponding check boxes.

If you click this, all of the files in the folder will have checks next to them. Now, when you open a folder you’ll see a check box next to the caption “Name”. Scroll down the list and check “ Use check boxes to select items”.From the drop down list, click Folder Options….In the Menu Bar, click Tools (if you don’t see the Menu bar-> click Organize, Layout, then Menu Bar).Open a folder (any one, it doesn’t matter which one).If the files you want to select are not in order, what happens if you click one you did not intend to select? Start over again? Not if we can help it! Here’s a better way. With any luck, a forthcoming fix from Google will then enable us to revert our Accessibility settings back to the way we want them.Most users select multiple files within a folder by selecting the first file, then clicking the last file while holding the Shift Key down (if the files are contiguous) or by holding the Crtl Key down and individually selecting files if they are not one after the other. You can download previous versions of the app from sites such as and sideload them onto your device, although I’d recommend waiting for an official update instead. Obviously, the downside to doing this is that you’ll lose any accessibility functions you may have been relying on until Google comes up with a fix.Īlternatively, you may be able to restore the multi-select function by reverting to an older version of Google Photos. Turning them all off should then cause Google Photos to work correctly once again. Tapping on any of these will enable you to turn off its accessibility service.

The actual layout will vary from phone to phone, but sections to look out for are ‘Downloaded Services’ where apps such as Amazon Shopping are likely to appear, and ‘Screen Readers’ where you may find functions such as ‘Select to Speak’ or ‘Talkback’ available. To do this, go into your Android settings menu and search for ‘accessibility’ then scroll down to locate the relevant options. Enter the Accessibility options under the settings menu and make sure the 'Use service' option is.
