You all probably dont care at all but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I need help saving all my photos to one place. I must have tap & synced all images in fb, fb messenger, Google photo & whatever other app in both computer & Android. I just noticed a couple of days ago & I can't do anything abt it. Advise plz
It'd be awesome if you could make a video on how to make that pop-up box at 0:15. I know it has nothing to do with the photos, but I figured I should ask anyway. Thank you and thanks for the video!
The pfp has dots around it, it means that there is still photo’s that are backing up, to delete the ones that are already deleted click your pfp and press free space then it will delete your vids/photos in your camera roll but stays in google photos

I absolutely hate Google photos. They couldn't have made it more confusing. The fact that I have to Google where my photos are saved, what all the different functions are in the menu, and what it means to archive them is ridiculous.
My problem is when I delete something from my Photos app, it also gets deleted on my Google Photos app. I dont know if that's supposed to be happening or if i have to change soemhting in my settings but i dont know. How it is acting now, im not able to save any space because i cant delete anything on my normal photos.
May i ask.. After you backed up your photos on Google photos.. Can you delete the photos/videos on your phones gallery and it'll stay on the Google photos?
This is the question I want answers to. Most likely not. What you described is a “Storage” but this cloud backup stuff is a sync feature which is replicated on many redundant servers..... so I don’t think it works the way you and I want it to, but then again this is just an assumption
Yes it does. Done it so many times. I don't even do it manually. I just wait for Google Photo to pop up the question "Backup and delete photos in your phone". I just follow the prompt to backup and delete my photos.
Great video! Does the backup overwrite or just import new content? Can you delete photos on your iPhone but still have them remain on Google drive or is it better to import/copy manually?
When you backup/upload a photo into Google photos, it will be there even if you delete the photo from your phone. Source: I downloaded google photos for the first time on my new phone and saw photos from my old phones apparently my old phone was automatically uploading every photo/video I take into google photos.
Awesome tutorial!!! I've had maybe close to over 3 maybe 4 years worth of photos and videos saved onto my SD card and the internal storage of my Samsung Note 8 and it's finally time to clear up some space. I'm backing up the photos to my computer right now and also using Google Photos but Google Photos is a lot more efficient and quicker. Can never have too many backups in this day and age lol.
It would be really useful and helpful if you could make a video on how to save and back-up photos from Google photos into Cloud storage. Thank you very much for the video, really liked and enjoyed it.
when i delete a photo on my iPhone album photo it also gets delete in google photo. Is there a way to prevent google photo from deleting photos when I delete it on my iPhone photo album?
How do I know if all my photos backed up ? Because it told me it was complete so I started to delete some pictures on my gallery and some where deleted from google photos also Should I wait a little longer then ?
I did everything, but i deleted my file in my gallery itself and went back to see if the file was still in my Google photos, but those were deleted too. So, whats that?
1) Is it better to use the Google Photos app on my Mac or the browser? 2) Also, does Google Photos keep a local copy on my Mac or does it go to the cloud for each access? 3) Once I have all my photos on Google Photos can I/Should I delete them from my Mac since Google Photos has a great search and access mechanism? 4) Finally, is there a way to backup the photos stored on Google Photos to an external drive attached to my Mac?
What a great easy to understand tutorial on how to backup your photos and videos for free using Google photo app. Now you can make more memory space on your phone as well. Thank you beautiful lady.You are so smart.
DONT USE GOOGLE PHOTOS!!! It is the most shady app I have ever seen, ask you access to "All Photos", and SECRETLY upload your photos there. Two days later, it shamelessly remind you are running out of free space. In case you happen to use other google products like Gmail or Google Drives, all of them will stop receiving updates! If you dare to delete any pictures to release storage, congratulations all your local copies will be removed too! The only option is to upgrade to their subscription plan, good luck! Don't ask me how did I know ...
Hi I can't send or receive emails because it full with Google photos.i move all my pictures to my SD card but how do I free my space so I can send my email? I can't loose my kids pictures since born please help.thanks
You will have to click on every picture you have then. Tap and hold a bunch of pictures in the Home Screen then 3 dots will appear at the top right then a little pop up menu will appear with a column that says back up. You have to turn auto sync off and individually click all your pictures to do it.
I have an android and it seems to back them up without having to open the app. If I take a pic and go to the app it's there already. I do have a question about getting space back on my phone. When I got my new phone the guy at Verizon sent all my current pics to google photos and then freed up that space in my phone but I could still access all my photos on my phone as they were on the google app. I now have a ton more pics, how do I preform the same task. Of course the same guy isn't at Verizon and when I went in to ask about it the girl looked at me like I was crazy. Thanks.
Hi I am from Indonesia.. may I know,, once all the photos back up to Google photo,, will it safe forever?? How about if I change my phone will all my photo restore to my new phone later on?? Thank
How to backup only camera photos and videos rather than backing up what’s up pictures and videos i was android user now moved to i iPhone this thing easily can be set up android but with iPhone i put back up but it’s backing up everything from what’s up photos and videos
not informative enough. wanted to know how to go into my photos and confirm that all my photos from multiple devieces are backed up to my google account storage. you just explained the basic set up.
This was basically useless for me, my phone is currently dying and I need to back up all my pics, plus my phone keeps turning off every minute, tbh this isn't on my phone
Okay I'm watching the video I'm hoping you answer this question -sometimes my Google photos says that my photos are backing up but then I delete them and they're gone gone
Hi Tasia! First of all thanks for the video. I have a question. When I open Google Photos>library>Photos on device> I have my albums (Instagram, WhatsApp and others)> I back up & sync> then on Google Photos when I go below and Open on Photos, I see all the albums and pictures as Instagram on the same album, all my pictures are together 😦. IDK if that's automatically or there's another way to keep each album separate of the others and keep my pictures organized. Thanks in advance!
Hello I took pictures on my son's phone and he broke his phone. When I put his Google account on my computer all of the picture's are not showing up please help I need to retrieve photo's from hos Google photo's
My phone is synced and backed up to google photos but if i delete a pic/vid from my phone (to free up space on phone) it also deletes from google photos.. is there a solution for this?
This video is completely irrelevant. Most of us using the google photos app are android users. But u spend nearly the entire video talking to I phone users.
But why is it if I delete my photo on my phone, it'll do the same on google photo. Maybe because they're sync. I need to clean my phone due to storage.
And one thing bothers me: if the data from the computer's hard drive can be recovered, why is it impossible to recover permanently deleted photos from the Google recycle bin?
the travelling tip was useful - i never thought about that esp as i travel to Germany a lot and i notice battery not lasting so i've been trying to pinpoint why and what to turn off. so far my backup plan is take my iphone 3!! or try to use iPad for photos. Still trying to find a solution to this...
3:27 couple hours? ITS BEEN LIKE 4 DAYS AND I STILL HAVE TO BACKUP 5.000 PHOTOSSS ok its my fault, I had like 9.000 photos on my iPhone so I think its normal that its taking so long, plus its helpful if u leave the app open the first time you're doing the backup, I think closed it really slow down, leave your phone open on the app overnight and you should be good. I'm doing this because the 75% of the space in my phone its occupied by photos and I've reached the limit on my iCloud.. new iPhone users.. download immediately google photos! it will save you the struggle I'm having now hahah, I hope I can finish the backup fast, I miss taking pictures!
Just a few questions: 1. Why is it that whenever I delete a photo on google photo, that photo will also disappear from my gallery? 2. Can we choose which photos we want to back up only, because I dont want everything that is on my gallery to be backedup to Google Photo? Thanks
How do you stop the preparing to backup google photos on android phone Samsung Galaxy S5. after it says backup complete, it still says preparing to backup and then the circle of death keeps scrolling saying there are 69 or 10 items left to back up? I tried deleting cache, deleting photos cache on the app, switching from backup using wifi to data back to wifi, I even deleted data , I switched to no files to selected files, I tried to deny and then allow storage permissions, ?? can I backup these files that are synced to my googles photos on my computer and how? I have a windows 7 HP laptop computer? I did all this as of January 16,2021 with no success to fix the getting ready to backup and finally backing up all items. How do you know if items are in fact backed up because I do not see the check mark in the icon cloud ? I had put all my photos camera, screenshots,studio etc. onto my sd card so there are no photos on device so if you do not give permission to allow storage then how do you get it to backup anyway? How long do you have to remove storage permission and then enable it back?
I have a called "birthday" with 2000 pics. Can I drag this folder Into Google photos and automatically it will name the album "birthday" ? If not what is the quickest way for me to do this
it depends, samsung android phones have a "photos" app and don't include Google Photos. +1 though for google photos, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. The search algorithm is really robust, and helps you find old photos really fast. For example, you can search for fireworks, dogs, yellow, notes, paper, screen shots, licenses, etc. There's a google photos app for Mac for backup but you can use the google drive backup, since photos are uploaded to Gphotos through there anyway. I almost never use the Apple Photos application anymore. I wish I could upload full res photos though without paying for storage but that's another vid I guess. I had free full rez Gphoto storage with my Android Pixel3 and it was a crazy awesome photo year!
Matt B it really is the best!!! I LOVE the search functionality. Sharing and organizing are a breeze too. I definitely will be making another video on all of google photos awesome features.
Hello. I am not receiving any emails on my Gmail account. It says that im out of storage bec of google photos and drive and that there is only 15gb limit. What should i do? I dont want to buy and pay monthly basis. If its just one time payment its alright but its not. Do i have to delete all my files in google photos to free up space? There are important emails that are coming. Pls. Thank you
I liked your video but to me Google does not have unlimited back up and let me explain. I have a Pixel 3A Android phone. It has 64 GB internal storage. The storage is almost full. Even though I back up and sync my photos in Google Photos if I delete the photo in my Pixel 3A phone it also disappears in Google Photos when I check using my Pixel. I was under the impression if the photos were backed up you could clear up the memory on your phone but the photo would be in Google Photos even if it wasnt in your phone.
