I first download and export all my photos and videos to a backup drive.
I fix the Google Account Storage is Full problem by using the "Clean up space" options to clear my Google Drive storage using my desktop, but if you use the links below you can clear Google Photos storage in phone. Then I use a "Recover Storage" option to reduce ALL the photos and videos in my Google Photos to Storage Saver Size. There is no option to see what photos & videos are in my Drive at Original Size, so the only way is to compress all the photos and videos to free up some storage.
Finally, I show a way to create a Google Account for storage JUST for Google photos... and set up my phone to upload and sync photos and videos with this new Google Account. We can then use Partner Sharing to share those Google Photos and Videos with my personal Google Account.

If you turn on Partner Sharing on your phone, with yourself
When you change the account in the phone back to your original account that the new account has made a request to share with
When you accept that invitation
You get an option that says
"Auto-Save pictures from xxx (new account)"
"Include xxx's pictures in your photo grid, Memories and search results by automatically saving some or all content"
And button marked "Get Started"
Click this and it brings up an option to select and confirm
Turn On Auto-save so you never miss a photo from xxx
Automatically save certain photos to enjoy them in your photos view, memories and search results.
The photos that you save won't count towards your storage, as long as your partner continues to share them with you through Partner Sharing."
Choose what to auto-save
- Save all Photos
- Only save photos of selected people
- Don't save any photos.
I select Save all photos.
I think then you can delete photos in your new account, and they're still kept in your first account without taking up storage space quota. Back up to a hard drive to be safe.

I'm confused... with the partner sharing, I thought that when you "save all photos" that you've shared with yourself that I'd be able to delete the original photo from the photo account because it would be saved on the account I shared it with, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like if I share it to one account then delete it from the original account, it deletes it from the shared account too.

@rebekahmenn2118 2 месяца назад

Oh wait a minute... they're both deleted from the "shared" folder but because I "automatically save all photos" it's saved in the photos folder! Well that's pretty cool! Thank you so much!

Hi Neil. Thank you i ve loved following your tips. You ve made ot really simple yo follow. I ve still got 2006 photos not backed up after the file compressing etc..shall i just partner share whats been backed up delete the photos from my main google account then back up the rest and partner share that. Once photos are backed up on google account and i delete photos from my phone are the photos deleted from google account. Im too afraid ill lose my pictures :/

@neilmossey 3 месяца назад

Hi thanks for the kind comment and question. I hope I'm understanding your question correctly. I'm assuming the 2006 photos are on your phone and not been backed up to Google. Firstly make sure you've backed everything up to a hard drive so nothing is lost. When you partner share, make sure you turn on auto save in both accounts - go into the sharing tab to turn on auto save, or the settings/partner sharing to turn it on there Once they're backed up to google, if you delete a picture using your computer it won't be deleted in Google Photos. If you delete the pictures from your phone using Gallery - i.e. NOT Google Photos - the picture seems to stay in Google Photos, for me. I feel deleting them from my phone using the computer is safer. But deleting using Gallery seems to work. It might be worth testing this for yourself and seeing if nothing bad happens for a day so that any sync will happen to test. I find this really confusing, but hope something here helps - good luck with your Google Photos!

@miransalih1079 3 месяца назад

Hi, thanks for this. I've done everything think step by step. Now I've tried deleted few unwanted photo from the main phone storege, I did check it was deleted in 1 Google photo account and the new one that just set up. Not sure if I've missed anything.

@neilmossey 3 месяца назад

Hi thanks for the kind question - I hope I'm understanding it correctly. If you don't want it to be deleted from both accounts, you have to make sure that 'auto save' is switched ON. You can do this in the sharing tab of the google photos phone app, or Google photos desktop. If the auto save option isn't shown, go into your settings, and go into partner sharing to show the auto save settings. Hope this helps and thanks again.

@ZenonZolek 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video Neil. Question, did I miss something? If I delete a photo from 1 (main) account it's deleted in the shared account.

@neilmossey 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind question - this shouldn't be happening. Make sure that auto-save is turned on, for safety I turn it on in both accounts. It should be offered in the sharing tab if it's not activated, or on desktop, go to photos.google.com - click on the cog for settings - click on the partner sharing pull down menu - there should be a 'save' option under there On a phone, go to the google photos app - click the sharing tab on the bottom - the shared account should show at the top, click on 'view all' at the top it should offer auto save, or show 'saving automatically' To change the setting, click on the 3 dots at the top - click on settings There's an option 'save to your account' , click on it to change it to 'all photos' I really hope this fixes it. Also, make sure obviously that your phone is set to the new photos account. If it deletes there, check on a computer that it's still available and undeleted in your 'personal' account that it was shared to. Fingers crossed!

@yourautoadvocate8863 7 месяцев назад

I saw your orig video on this also, very helpful thank you. But I'm old and not understanding something.. At the end you say delete all photos from phone, then in the new account (acc 1) set up Google photos using the new email (acc 2) and then those photos will be copied to the orig goog photos account address? In full quality resolution?? Even after setting account 2 to storage saver?? What am I getting wrong? Thanks

@neilmossey 7 месяцев назад

Hello - thanks for the kind comment and question - and for hanging in there, I'm old too and it is complex(!!!) Yes! It's true! And bizarre! My phone is now backing up photos to the new photos account. Those photos are shared to my original old personal google account, at storage saver quality. The shared photos in the shared personal google account are - original - quality(!) Even though they are 'storage saver' quality on the photos account. And they do not take up any storage allowance in the shared personal google account It shows what a crock the saver quality is - Google still has and keeps the Original quality photo in its data banks. It's just that it stops us being able to access it. If at any time you want to download all the photos Google has, using their takeout.google.com service - the photos are downloaded at original quality - even if we have compressed them to storage saver quality. Hope this helps - but please ask any more questions - I double check these things myself!

@EladOren100 7 месяцев назад

Great video! I have a question: So let's say I did everything you said in the video, now I can feel up the storage up to 30gb, 15 on the first account, 15 on the second, so then what? How do I get more then 30gb? Thanks in advance!

@neilmossey 7 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the great question. The way I'm coping with this is that if you set up the auto save with the partner sharing, I am deleting big photos and videos off my photos account, and the shared version to my original account stays there in original quality and not taking up the quota. So I can in theory stay under 15GB on that photos account. Hope this helps!

I just got fed up and went to Google Photos and cleared my storage. I do have the backup switch button on. Everytime I wanted to download an app, my device would tell me I'm out of storage. So I saw all my photos and videos disappearing off my phone. I had over 700 pics on my camera gallery. Now it's down to 78. I had other picture/video folders on my phone gallery as well majority of them are now gone. Where do your pictures and videos go after you clear storage off your phone on google photos will I get them back?

Wouldn't it be easier to back up you photos on a flash drive and then delete them on the phone. or even turn off google photos.

@Cleggshark 7 месяцев назад

Great videos. I hit the limit last night and it will really help. I have a question though. All the photos on my device are backed up in my original Gmail account. I have created a new Gmail account to use for the next yeat and set it as my account to back up to in Google photos. All the photos on my phone (that are already backed up on my original Gmail account) have started backing up again to the new account. Can I avoid this in some way (Google settings, renaming folders maybe) or do I need to remove them from my phone to my PC hard drive? Thanks

@neilmossey 7 месяцев назад

Hi Thanks for the kind comment and question - I really appreciate it. Unfortunately - I've faced this same issue myself and the only way around it is to remove the files from the phone: there doesn't seem to be an option for a start date or photos, it seems all or nothing. And if I don't remove them then my phone will just max out the new account. The partner sharing has helped so that by making the link and auto-save in both directions means I can search all photos and videos from either account without them taking up storage quota on the other account. Hope this helps!

@neilmossey 11 дней назад

Thanks for the kind comment and sorry to hear this Sometimes - for me - it does compress but the Google Photos 'gauge' hasn't updated. So it's actually gone down but takes a while for the measure to reflect that. It might be worth logging into another device into Google Photos and seeing if the compress has had any effect. Hope you manage to find a fix and good luck with your Google Photos

@rainbowrunner1550 7 месяцев назад

Why Google has been limiting storage like this is quite beyond me. They allowed unlimited photos and videos prior to 2021. It was fine the way it was, so I don't know why they changed it up. For what it's worth, my previous phone (my Pixel 4A 5G) was what I got at the beginning of 2021. And apparently, any photo that was backed up in Storage Saver quality wouldn't count. Unfortunately, since I upgraded to a Pixel 7 in September 2023, I now have to deal with the storage limit nonsense. This is quite appalling. Why should I have to be limited or have to pay to keep my photos and videos backed up? Google acts like it hasn't already made billions worldwide. It wouldn't be such a problem if every device allows Storage Saver quality backup with no charge towards data limit.
