Although I am pretty familiar with Google Photos/Drive, your video kept my attention because of the clarity of your instruction, but most of all, that is the quality of this video is excellent. The clarity made an impression on me. Very easy on the eye. Thanks, Scott.
Scott, THANK YOU!!! This info can be found in Google Help for Photos and Drive which I've read, reread, pondered over, slept on, made notes about, and clicked on highlighted references until my brain cell shorted out. You finally turned all that information overload into simple English. You are now my Tech Superhero! I've subscribed to your channel and will save your videos for future reference. Thanks again! P.S. Love the humor!
I have already lot of photos in my google drive folders and sub folders. i want to put them to google photos app. i don't wan to download them first from google drive then upload it to google photos app. is there any solution so i may move my that folders photos to google photos app ? i already try enabling google photo folders in google drive on web page. but when i move some photos to google photos folder i can't see those photo to google photo app. Do you have any solution ? if yes then please share Thanks
I can´t choose the option to put a person automaticly In an album, All of my Photos, Screenshots and downloads all mixes together In cluttered mess! How do I fix that Problem?
*Technically Speaking It's enjoyable. You lads are the only American's that don't seem to make me grind my teeth by saying 'like' every other f in word. Lol.
Thanks so much for this video! How can you choose photos from your album when you are in another app, such as a photo edit app or Instagram? I wanted to select pictures from an Ali bum I created in google photos, but I didn’t see the album when I was in the other apps.. Do you know this??
Great vid, I'm still having problems with On1 and Luminar photo apps recognizing my Google Photos in Google Drive - when I go the Drive, it only sees like 18 photos and i have thousands - I want to scroll through and edit these photos in On1 and Luminar, but the Drive doesn't see them, what can i do?
Just got google photos cause hubby & I are switching from iPhone to pixels. Chow Apple! I’m amazed by google photos. Loving having my own assistant in the app!
Great Vid Scott. question.... WHY would you want to create a GOOGLE PHOTOS folder in Google Drive?... Isn't Google Photos already considered a "back up" of the picts on Google Drive? (i know...slightly compressed if using "high quality)... if you create a "Google Photos" folder in Google drive....isn't that a "back up of the back up" ?...what is the reason behind it? Thx!
Great Video, I learned a lot; Thank You. One question though: When I go to settings, I do not see the button' to "Recover Storage". (See from minute 3:00 on your video). Any suggestions? Thanks.
I have liked this video and subscribed to your channel because you simply rock ! You just gave me every piece of info I want without asking. Thank you so much man. I wish you best of luck.
Great tutorial Scott. I've just changed from iOS and love everything about Google. A bit confusing when I setup my Google photos and drive. Keep up the good work 👍
Great Video. Question, I have photos in mt I cloud account, Google Photos, and my Verizon cloud. I believe if I delete a photo from one of the platforms, it deleted them in the other two? If I want to stop using the Verizon cloud and I cloud, what do I need to do? I'm using an I Phone 7
Thank you for the very informative video. I did not notice the music, its all good! My question is about storage and albums. I understand I can pick a group of photos and make an album. In my case, I have probably hundreds of albums. The problem begins when I want to add more photos to an existing album. I can only find it by scrolling through the albums. I had assumed that there would be a "right click" "Add to album" option where an alphabetized list or dated list of my albums would appear and I would be able to add that photo to that album. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Great video thank you.. I have a question. Hopefully you can help me. I have many pictures in my laptop and its almost full. I'm afraid to loose them all if my laptop crashes. I just downloaded the back up and sync to my laptop. I opened google photos on my laptop and I was able to see on it all the pictures I can see on my phone through google photos but I can't see the ones I have on my laptop. How can I move all the pictures on my laptop to Google photos? Thanks in advance.
Hey Scott, thanks for the clear up. I have one question. Is there a way how to upload loads of folders of pictures from my computer while letting google photos to make albums named based on the names of the original folders I have locally on my PC? Thanks
+Ondra Brém unfortunately no, when you upload the folders that structure will stay that way if you upload via drive, but they will not transfer over as an album. :(
Thank you for the update; it clarifies a lot. I'm still struggling to find the best way to share a collection of photos (album, folder) with others, and allow them to download or add in their own photos from that same event, without having all of us (domestic and international) sign up for a new service.
+tary piesher Google Photos is really the easiest way to doall those things you described. When you created a shared albums they can add and download as needed
Hi. What if I upload the photos on google photos and add them onto an album; how can i make the photos that have been put into the album from not appearing on the main list of photos to avoid confusion. it's best this way that once the photos are put into an album, it goes into that.
Great vids. I have a question: I turned OFF syncing on my android device, and then deleted pics from my phone that were previously backed up to Photos, but it still deleted the photo from Photos. The reason I want them backed up to Photos is so that I can free up space on my local mobile device. Why is this not working?
Hi. I've watched a few of your videos. Great info. I'm wondering about google drive. I have used the free up storage in google photos. I bought additional drive storage and it immediately filled up. I can't figure out what's filling it. Maybe videos and photos but can't narrow it down. do i need to set my phone and computer to only sync to google photos and not drive? How do I move photos from drive to google photos? Thanks
I have a google pixel 2 xl... meaning unlimited storage in google photos for the next couple of years... well... i have found you can sync all of your google photos into a drive folder automatically...I would like to transfer just SOME pictures... not everything...my google drive is limited to only 15 GB..so is it possible to port just SOME google photos into drive?
In google photos, other than the search options mentioned, is there a way to specially label a photo in google photos for a later search. For example. If I take a picture of a fish I caught on the river behind my house. And I have many of almost the same picture in the same place. Is there a way to mark that specific picture to easily find later?
I shot a 4k video and uploaded it on google photos. The upload size was 1.5 gb but later on when i accessed it, it showed only 50 mb and was playable only at 360p. Help!
i want to upload image in origional pixel into my study note in google docs how it is possible . im getting proble relating uploading highi quality image into docs
hi, thanks for the video. I recently imported all my iphoto library to google photos, but couldn't sync the albums I had organized there. any tips on how to sync the albums? cheers.
can i add text to my photos before I make them into a movie and then upload that to FB and later when I learn how I want to upload to you tube. I've been on FB for years so that is my first go to place right now. Im doing this for my business. Cam I also add closed captions in my videos that I have in google photos? Thanks
Hi.. nice video.. I've a question.. I turned on the Google photos folder in drive a while ago and then disabled that option. But that folder is still there on my drive.. is there any way to delete that folder without getting my pictures deleted?
Just watched your great video, but to just clarify one thing, I am right in thinking that I cannot move an album from google pictures to google drive? Another question, is it possible to save the album on google pictures to my memory stick?
Scott, Great video. Very clear. Very informative. It answered questions I didn't realize I had. I do have one question to which I can't seem to find an adequate answer anywhere online. I have a Droid Turbo II. How do I have GP backup photos that are on my SD card? When I open Google Photos and go to settings, I select "Backup device folders." Here, I can see the albums I have created within the Android gallery and select on un-select by toggling. Conspicuously absent from this list, however, is any mention of my SD card. This seems odd. By contrast, when I go into the Gallery attached to the camera app, I can clearly see all the albums I have created, along with two others; Phone ( with 1107 photos, 62 videos) and SD Card (with 3364 photos and 135 videos. They are here....but how do get them there (backed up onto Google Photo?) "Help me, Scotty-Wan Kenobi, ... You're my only hope!" P.S. One more OGNQ (Old Guy Novice Question): ....and please forgive me if you've already addressed this in videos... If you create an Album in Google Photos containing 10 pictures, are those 10 pictures then removed from the main collection and thereafter now only viewable from within that newly created folder? P.P.S. Even as a grizzled old guy, I didn't mind your musical overlay/ background soundtrack. I think people sometimes forget that people like yourself put a fair amount of thought and effort into creating meaningful and accessible content in the first place. I applaud and appreciate your efforts to inform, enlighten, and entertain. Keep up the good work. Apologies for the novella. They say "brevity is the soul of wit." Apparently, it seems, I have neither.
+Tam Neal we receive complaints either way. Some argue not having the music, some argue for it. Best thing about people is there's never any shortage of feedback for us to get better ;-)
I dont know why these fools use music in the first place. They try to make the video more interesting or professional but all they do is annoy the viewers.
Question: if you've all your photos stored on google photos for iPhone and all your photos and videos get stored as a back up there, can't I then delete all my camera roll photos and videos that take up so much excess space, will it still be available on the Google photos app all backed up??
thanks for the vid! random question, i have all of my pictures on my google drive, is there any way to use those photos as a screensaver for my computer? i found a chrome extension but it only take photos from google photos, do you know of anything?
So, is there a way to move my photos I've uploaded to Google drive over to Google photos app? The video made it sound like they are stuck in your drive and unable to be moved to the photos app.
Hey Scott, Thanks for this! What a great overview. In the beginning you have a question "How do I move pictures from Google Drive to Photos to free up space?" Your answer is to use the "Recover Storage" command. but ... that only works if the photos were originally uploaded using google photos right? Or are you saying that photos uploaded to Drive will be compressed with the Google PHotos Recover Storage command? A lot to know here.
+Geeks on Tour I have uploaded most of my photos via drive, I believe that you're correct. You would need to download them from Google takeout; and reupload them via Photos. I need to test this to be absolutely sure though.
I use ios and was backing up photos n videos!! It started to backup a movie as well n i wish not to backup that..!!! How can i change setting in ios for what to backup n what to not... pls help
Good vid thanks. My photos are in Google Photos but I want to move my original photos from my phone to my computer. When you setup syncing with your computer and Google Photos, will it recognise that the photos have already been backed up? Reason for this is I want to be able to then sort through and delete any photos I want to on my laptop, or in Google Photos, and have it all synced.
Is there a way to sync photos from Google Drive to Google Photos automatically? So I want to put a photo in Google Dive and have it show up in Google Photos. Is that possible? I've tried to figure it out and it seems impossible. But there is a setting in Google Photos that says synch Google Drive to Google Photos. It makes no sense.
Thank you for this & the previous on from from 2016! Really helped clear up many questions I had, but there is still one more question. So to be able to store photos/videos from your phone before you wipe out that phone to turn in for an upgrade, do I store them all to drive or are they ok being in G-photos? 🤔
Hello, do you know how to make an album public in Google Photos? (I don't mean public on Google+, or shared with a link.) I have a couple of public albums, but as far as I can see (and as far as I check any forums) nobody really knows how to create a public album (or make any existing album public).
In Google photos there is a file of all fotos and an album file. There might be a photo in the general file that has not been added to any album. How do i identify in the general file what is and what is not contained in the album files?
I have albums already on my device. Can I back them up as it is on Google Photos or do I need to make albums again inside Google photos. *I'm using Quick Pic as my default Album by the way
Hi Scott, I am a senior and I don't save photos at all on my android phone. I just get them developed and put them in a physical album. So, if I delete the Drive app, will that affect the Google Photos? I've learnt that less apps saves the battery. What's your take on this? Thank you.
Personally I didn't get it from there, I got it from a friend of mine that mixes his own music and was given permission to do so (just in case someone was wondering about copyright)
where do i find how many photos i have, can i sort phtos in size etc as i have iover 50,000 and need to find duplicates to delete, also can you make the pic size smaller, like sacle them down
Hello I know this isn't relevent today, at the time you made this video you mentioned that deleting photos from google photos deleted them from google drive as well and the photos are moved to trash(in google photos), does that move them to google drive's trash as well?
Am backing up photos from Google Photos to LG Drive going from my dying phone to Acer Tablet. I have changed names on all photos. When I delete Google Photos on phone still functioning will I still have my photos present on my Google drive on my tablet? I am also using folders on my tablet Google Drive.
I was a picasa user and picasa was retired. Photo sync appears to be only in the backup and sync app which puts it in drive, not photos. Thoughit syncs, it counts against storage and I already have thousands of photos in dozens of albums that I have been holding on to.
Hey great job! This google system was amazing but now they changed it... now there’s no sync between google drive and google photos. Do you know some tricks to get it organized? I can download everything to a google photos folder but when I delete in drive it still shows in photos... that sucks 😢 tks for the video thou
If what we want is backed up, then can i delete it off of my phone? So i have more space on my phone but those pics and vids still be backed up in my drive? Does this question make sense i didnt see anyone eles ask.. But i need to update my phone bad.. But i have no space.. My stuffs all backed up.. If i delete anything from my phone will it stay backed up in drive UNTIL i delete from drive?
You can download them from your phone and put them on a thumb drive or bring your phone cord to Walmart and plug into their machine there. I've seen both
Can I copy or move a folder from Google photos to Google drive? Because sometimes my Google photos stops working and don't let me upload pictures in it, while drive works really smooth. I just wanna switch to drive with all the stuff I already have in Google photos. There is an option that allows me to copy all the pictures from photos to drive but that pools together all the pictures from all the albums. I want it to be separated like I have in Google photos. Is that possible?
I can’t work out how to move photos from google drive to google photos as I have no storage left on my phone. I’ve tried looking it up and it seems it should be easy but I just can’t get it to work. I only have an iPhone no laptop
i apologize for not yet quite understanding. how to take photos off drive and put only on photos. and without albums designated i am not sure if the photos in those google photos albums are in drive as just photos? (trying to free up drive space )
Hi, I need your help!!! I went into google drive settings and selected to automatically put google photos into a folder in my drive as you showed in the video. Unfortunately....my photos do not subcategorize into folders by years or months. How do I do that? Please show a video on this. Mine just show up as pictures and are as tedious to look through as in google photos. Thanks
At 5:40 you say that the only way NOT to affect our space in Google Drive is to upload photos either from the App or "manually" from photos.google.com. Now, let's say that 7 days ago I used photos.google.com to upload 10 GB of photos from my local "Pictures" folder. Today the folder is 12 GB and I cannot exactly locate the photos that I've been saving there during the last week. What happens if I go back on the website and re-upload the folder? Will it locate and upload only the new photos?
As I was one who did not have the opportunity to learn Computers in school,,, a tad late for that,, so I want to give a big thanks to this video,,, I am learning a bit more everyday,, So,,,,,,,, I huge thanks for your helpful video,, keep them coming,,, make me a PRO,, LOL
i have s query sir. I find that my Google photos slideshow stops for the secondary USER on my Dell Desktop using Windows10 os. But the same stoppage that closes the desktop display does not happen when I see my Google photos slideshow as Administrator of my Desktop. What is the real problem and how to resolve it so that I can see my Google PHOTOS slideshow for unlimited time without the desktop switching off.
Can you make another video on that, 2019!! As you know, the terms and conditions have been changed lately. I would appreciate if you make another video.
If you've already deleted the entire trash can then you can't get them back however if they're still in the trash can you should be able to restore them
Thanks for this very helpful. I am going to sort and edit through my photos using google photos as it has such a good layout. I have my google photos backing up to google drive. If I want to back up my google drive folder (of photos) to a local drive - i.e my external drive as a further back up - is this possible?
one final question/s! Would you recommend syncing (rather than an upload) of my local photo file from my laptop to google drive - (its taking forever!) - if it was just an upload would the photos appear in my google photos? (if Im correct the folder of photos I am syncing (from laptop) to my google drive will also show in my google photos!?
hi Scott! i have a question, what will happen if i delete Google photos app? is my photos all gone or nothing happen and my photos still there? thanks before :)
Although I am pretty familiar with Google Photos/Drive, your video kept my attention because of the clarity of your instruction, but most of all, that is the quality of this video is excellent. The clarity made an impression on me. Very easy on the eye. Thanks, Scott.

How can you choose photos from your album when you are in another app, such as a photo edit app or Instagram? I wanted to select pictures from an Ali bum I created in google photos, but I didn’t see the album when I was in the other apps.. Do you know this??
Can I use google drive/photos to tranfer 4k video files from my google pixel 3 to my Mac Desktop? Please help
Great stuff Scott. Adds a lot of needed clarity to best practices and uses for photos and drive. Thanks.

My question is about storage and albums.
I understand I can pick a group of photos and make an album. In my case, I have probably hundreds of albums.

Very clear. Very informative.
It answered questions I didn't realize I had.
I do have one question to which I can't seem to find an adequate answer anywhere online.
I have a Droid Turbo II.
How do I have GP backup photos that are on my SD card?
When I open Google Photos and go to settings, I select "Backup device folders." Here, I can see the albums I have created within the Android gallery and select on un-select by toggling. Conspicuously absent from this list, however, is any mention of my SD card.

They are here....but how do get them there (backed up onto Google Photo?)
"Help me, Scotty-Wan Kenobi,
... You're my only hope!"
P.S. One more OGNQ
(Old Guy Novice Question):
....and please forgive me if you've already addressed this in videos...
If you create an Album in Google Photos containing 10 pictures, are those 10 pictures then removed from the main collection and thereafter now only viewable from within that newly created folder?
P.P.S. Even as a grizzled old guy, I didn't mind your musical overlay/ background soundtrack.
I think people sometimes forget that people like yourself put a fair amount of thought and effort into creating meaningful and accessible content in the first place. I applaud and appreciate your efforts to inform, enlighten, and entertain.
Keep up the good work.
Apologies for the novella.

Good tutorial..
But the repetitive music (every 4 seconds) was doing my head in.....!!!
+Adrian Snell were working to get some more music 😁
*Technically and
Why the need for music at all? Why not remove the 'music' completely and see if anyone complains! ;-)

My photos are in Google Photos but I want to move my original photos from my phone to my computer. When you setup syncing with your computer and Google Photos, will it recognise that the photos have already been backed up?
Reason for this is I want to be able to then sort through and delete any photos I want to on my laptop, or in Google Photos, and have it all synced.
Is Google using .webp for "high quality" compression?
Is there a way to sync photos from Google Drive to Google Photos automatically? So I want to put a photo in Google Dive and have it show up in Google Photos. Is that possible? I've tried to figure it out and it seems impossible. But there is a setting in Google Photos that says synch Google Drive to Google Photos. It makes no sense.
Thank you for this & the previous on from from 2016! Really helped clear up many questions I had, but there is still one more question. So to be able to store photos/videos from your phone before you wipe out that phone to turn in for an upgrade, do I store them all to drive or are they ok being in G-photos? 🤔
Hello, do you know how to make an album public in Google Photos? (I don't mean public on Google+, or shared with a link.) I have a couple of public albums, but as far as I can see (and as far as I check any forums) nobody really knows how to create a public album (or make any existing album public).
In Google photos there is a file of all fotos and an album file. There might be a photo in the general file that has not been added to any album. How do i identify in the general file what is and what is not contained in the album files?
Thanks, especially for explaining archiving.
You're welcome!
I have albums already on my device. Can I back them up as it is on Google Photos or do I need to make albums again inside Google photos.
*I'm using Quick Pic as my default Album by the way
+Gurdev Sambali you can backup the photos but you would need to remake the albums inside photos

Nicely explained - thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Scott, I am a senior and I don't save photos at all on my android phone. I just get them developed and put them in a physical album. So, if I delete the Drive app, will that affect the Google Photos? I've learnt that less apps saves the battery. What's your take on this? Thank you.
if you wonder about the music in the video,its cut from Yellow Claw - Love & War feat. Yade Lauren
Personally I didn't get it from there, I got it from a friend of mine that mixes his own music and was given permission to do so (just in case someone was wondering about copyright)
where do i find how many photos i have, can i sort phtos in size etc as i have iover 50,000 and need to find duplicates to delete, also can you make the pic size smaller, like sacle them down
Hello I know this isn't relevent today, at the time you made this video you mentioned that deleting photos from google photos deleted them from google drive as well and the photos are moved to trash(in google photos), does that move them to google drive's trash as well?
WOW! THanks!
Am backing up photos from Google Photos to LG Drive going from my dying phone to Acer Tablet. I have changed names on all photos. When I delete Google Photos on phone still functioning will I still have my photos present on my Google drive on my tablet? I am also using folders on my tablet Google Drive.
I was a picasa user and picasa was retired. Photo sync appears to be only in the backup and sync app which puts it in drive, not photos. Thoughit syncs, it counts against storage and I already have thousands of photos in dozens of albums that I have been holding on to.
Hey great job! This google system was amazing but now they changed it... now there’s no sync between google drive and google photos. Do you know some tricks to get it organized? I can download everything to a google photos folder but when I delete in drive it still shows in photos... that sucks 😢 tks for the video thou
If what we want is backed up, then can i delete it off of my phone? So i have more space on my phone but those pics and vids still be backed up in my drive? Does this question make sense i didnt see anyone eles ask.. But i need to update my phone bad.. But i have no space.. My stuffs all backed up.. If i delete anything from my phone will it stay backed up in drive UNTIL i delete from drive?
Question: Can I remove my duplicate photos in photos.google.com automatically or pgogram action.
Thanks very clear and well explained.
+Mohsin Fareed thank you!
Thank you. I will be watching.
How can I print photos that are on my phone in my Google's photo? I would like to print the at Wal-Mart? Help
You can download them from your phone and put them on a thumb drive or bring your phone cord to Walmart and plug into their machine there. I've seen both
Hi
How can delete all my photos on Email (Google photos) and keep them in my device ?
Can I copy or move a folder from Google photos to Google drive?
Because sometimes my Google photos stops working and don't let me upload pictures in it, while drive works really smooth. I just wanna switch to drive with all the stuff I already have in Google photos. There is an option that allows me to copy all the pictures from photos to drive but that pools together all the pictures from all the albums. I want it to be separated like I have in Google photos. Is that possible?
Thanks for the helpful tips. Kind regards 🙂🙂👍
Thank you!
I can’t work out how to move photos from google drive to google photos as I have no storage left on my phone. I’ve tried looking it up and it seems it should be easy but I just can’t get it to work. I only have an iPhone no laptop
Nice , thanks for a high quality video.
i apologize for not yet quite understanding. how to take photos off drive and put only on photos. and without albums designated i am not sure if the photos in those google photos albums are in drive as just photos? (trying to free up drive space )
You can download them and upload straight to photos
The first 2 seconds is all needed to know I should subscribe.
Hi, if I upload a 1080p60 video longer than 30 minutes in google photos, will it counts on my storage?
Hi,
I need your help!!! I went into google drive settings and selected to automatically put google photos into a folder in my drive as you showed in the video.
Unfortunately....my photos do not subcategorize into folders by years or months. How do I do that? Please show a video on this. Mine just show up as pictures and are as tedious to look through as in google photos. Thanks
So in the Google Photos folder on Drive to all you see is a bunch of pictures and they aren't broken into month like "01" for Jan or "02" for Feb?
At 5:40 you say that the only way NOT to affect our space in Google Drive is to upload photos either from the App or "manually" from photos.google.com. Now, let's say that 7 days ago I used photos.google.com to upload 10 GB of photos from my local "Pictures" folder. Today the folder is 12 GB and I cannot exactly locate the photos that I've been saving there during the last week. What happens if I go back on the website and re-upload the folder? Will it locate and upload only the new photos?
How do I get my phots back from my old iPad EnaFarnworth

i have s query sir. I find that my Google photos slideshow stops for the secondary USER on my Dell Desktop using Windows10 os. But the same stoppage that closes the desktop display does not happen when I see my Google photos slideshow as Administrator of my Desktop. What is the real problem and how to resolve it so that I can see my Google PHOTOS slideshow for unlimited time without the desktop switching off.
I wish I knew how to answer but alas I don't
Thank you, very good information!
Thanks for watching!

I would appreciate if you make another video.

Dear
how to recover trash (bin) deletet foto for google photos ??
Please help me
If you've already deleted the entire trash can then you can't get them back however if they're still in the trash can you should be able to restore them
*Technically Speaking thanx to replay😊😊
😒😒😒
Thanks for this very helpful. I am going to sort and edit through my photos using google photos as it has such a good layout. I have my google photos backing up to google drive. If I want to back up my google drive folder (of photos) to a local drive - i.e my external drive as a further back up - is this possible?
+Rachel Everitt yep! Sure is. You can download the file to the external
one final question/s! Would you recommend syncing (rather than an upload) of my local photo file from my laptop to google drive - (its taking forever!) - if it was just an upload would the photos appear in my google photos? (if Im correct the folder of photos I am syncing (from laptop) to my google drive will also show in my google photos!?
hi Scott! i have a question, what will happen if i delete Google photos app? is my photos all gone or nothing happen and my photos still there? thanks before :)
Hi there! If you delete just the app, your photos will still be there (the ones that have been uploaded). Otherwise they will still be on your device

Appreciate that! Love the Tribe
