Hi @neilmossey: Thank you for this informative video. Is there a way that when we create the new google account we can backup just new photos say starting 2024 and not old ones in that. This way we know photos are not duplicated in different drives and we are not backing up same thing in every google photos drive. Thanks again!
I got the exact problem from google photos and they were sending gmails like "you'll stop getting emails on ***" and I was panicking, didn't know what to do. So I decided to press 'free up space' and turns out they deleted some of my photos from my actual gallery in my phone. I'm really sad but thankfully I figured out the way to bring the photos back to my actual gallery. And now that I see this video, I feel so stupid why didn't I do some research first before I clicked buttons that I didn't even know the function for. But thank you so so much for this, I really do appreciate it. :)
I'm out of storage! I've been deleting stuff for several weeks i feel like im getting no where. I've deleted a ton of photos 😞 my emails of really the problem. Is there any way to delete mass emails? I have like 30,000 emails! I'm lost. Help
This is very helpful. Thank you. Sadly, I removed a couple of comments before I watched your video. But I know who they are, and if/when they return, I'll deal with them properly.
Great video! And very funny lol I just recently had to do this unfortunately. There's a difference between constructive criticism & vulgar harassment attacks. Keep pushing on my friend! Love the quote at the end too.
Thanks heaps for this, I'm not tech savvy at all, and wasn't sure what I was going to do. I followed your advise and went from 15g to 4 g!!! Now I have heaps more space!!!
Hi, Neil. Great information. Thank you! Since your original posting of this video, Google Photo app seems to have changed the setups, but I managed to use your instructions. 😊 But my old (original that got nearly full) Google account still back up new photos I take (now that I put space saver mode) as my new Google photo account does. Is there a way to stop the backup in my old Google photo account now and to have only the new account function as backup? Hope this question makes sense.
Just the fact that we have to RU-vid this to figure this out means google is low grade dog food. Who is SOOOO dumb you have to figure out the most common functions you will use. How about a damed BUTTON???? The fact that we put up with this is WHY it continues.
04:15 Actually, the whole idea in using google storage solutions is to keep them in a safe place in case the phone breaks down or gets lost or stolen. Also, the space on the phone may also fill up. So, no, do not rely on that the photos and videos that are on your phone are safe.
Google must have thought this is a good way to earn. How could someone sacrifice the storage allocated for receiving emails in exchange for backing up photos and video from their phone? Google didn't even think about this.
