If it is generally possible with a browser it is possible on the Steam Deck.

Like others mentioned, request Google Takeout which gives you all your photos. I recommend keeping the original zip/tar.gz for future reference (e.g. you need specific metadata not included in the photos directly).

Also, make sure to keep backups. E.g. upload it preferably encrypted, and store the password in a password manager. Make a copy on a USB SSD, and not just the Steam Deck (you might wipe it, lose it, ...).

Boot to desktop mode.

Download your photo cloud to your phone, and send them over USB or Bluetooth or KDE Connect. make sure firewall for kde-connect is checked to allow.
Use browser to visit GPhotos?
Can also try using KDE Kio GDrive or Google Takeout to integrate Google into Plasma or physical download options.
Or be crazy and try Waydroid and installing Google Photos there.

Very very easy to do with a Steam Deck. Let me know if you need directives.
