Thanks so much! Finally some tech advice that works! I did find that in order to change the Google Photos backup account on Apple devices (phone & tablet), I had to uninstall the app and then reinstall under the new photos account. Thanks again! Recover storage only got me 4 GB back, but it was enough for me to get everything Google back working again so I could set up another account. It'd be nice to have an older Pixel that "can back up photos & videos in Storage saver quality at no charge" in Google Photos. That'd help a lot.

Ohhh... uninstalling the app is a great idea. Really glad something here might help.

@neilmossey Год назад

Hi, thanks for your kind comment and sorry to hear that you can't find your photos. Is your Google Photos signed into the correct Google account? I'm not sure this is the same problem, but Google once moved all my photos to a completely different account without me realising because I had opened a different google account on a different app. I'm sure you've tried this but it might be worth checking the Google photos Trash/Bin folder. Also if you go to takeout.google.com you can download all photos and videos that Google has stored on your account (if you go there logged into the correct account). Hope you manage to find your photos.

Hi Neil, thanks for this video, it's exactly what I have been looking for. I have one question though. If I compress the size of the photo's in google photo's, does it not impact the original photo that is on my phone?

Hi Neil! Thank you for this information. I am a visual artist with a lot of process videos and photographs recorded daily. Wondering though, if I compress the files in that last step, will the image itself be less quality if I needed to use it later for printing or producing a small movie/tiktok? Just concerned about quality of the compressed images. Thank you again for your time, you are helping me SO much.

@neilmossey 3 месяца назад

Hi Robin -thanks for the kind comment and question. Not sure this answers them but here are some thoughts: - I've naturally backed up all my original files from the phone to my hard drive/computer/memory stick for safety. Thinking if I need to ever blow these up to big photo print size I'll at least have the original size files. I've never done this and always do 4x6 prints from Google Photos, but completely understand the concern - You probably know this but if you compress your photos on Google Photos, it doesn't alter the original photo and video files which reside on your phone. - I find the Google Photos search function way to useful! So I use Google Photos for searching, and can then locate that file on my backup drive if needed. (I've never needed to do this though...) - I've seen a few times that when Google offers the paid subscription it offers to reinstate the Original size files, so they do seem to exist somewhere but I wouldn't rely on this... - Takeout.google.com allows you to download everything Google holds, all the photos and videos: I'm not sure if these are Original Size, might be worth doing a test? - The Partner Sharing works like a dream for me, and the shared photos say they are at Original Quality, even though the shared-from-photo was at Storage Saver quality... I'm not sure if this is the true original, but they don't take up any storage quota in the saved account... Hope something here helps. BTW Your channel is awesome! Thanks again
