One useful tip for conserving storage in Google photos that no one talks about is cropping your photos. If you crop unimportant parts out of a photo, save it as a copy and delete the original copy, you would've freed up some space. Do that for hundreds and thousands of photos overtime and it really makes a huge difference. For instance, do you really need the grey sky in the background of a photo of your cat? No, your cat is the main focus. So crop out the sky

@alanschlesinger2899 Жыл бұрын
I have to agree! I also use MS Photo Gallery on my Win 10 laptop and it does allow this, so I can put all my trips under one main folder, etc, and this keeps all folders of a certain subject together. Unfortunately, with Google Photos, the albums are scattered so that your trips from 2022 and 2023 won't necessarily be together and you may have to go through your hole list of albums to find either one. Adding the categorization feature to Google Photos to better organize albums would be great!

Glad you made this video! The part about Google Lens really helped explain it to me and in testing it out as I watched your video really showed me how powerful a tool it can be. One feature I'd really like to see added to Google Photos would be a way to group albums under a "main folder" as sub folders, as is possible with MS Photo Gallery, which I use on my Win 10 laptop. This way albums for vacations, family, pets, events, etc, could be grouped by category and much easier to find, especially when doing any type of comparisons. I know the search feature can help with this but in many cases, just having albums under the same category, such as those for one's 2021 and 2022 vacations being next to each other would help greatly. As it stands now, I sometimes have to go through my whole list of albums to find a particular one, even though there may be several albums that could go under a specific category, such as "vacations". My 2021 and 2022 vacation albums won't necessarily be together, so finding one doesn't guarantee that the other will be next to it as it would when I am using Photo Gallery. If there is a feature like this, or a technique I can use to find similar category albums, please let us know. Thanks, and again, a great video!

Google also reads and remembers text in your photos/screenshots. So if there’s any text in something you’re looking for, search for that as well. I find it useful when searching for car photos, you can search by it’s number plate ( or part of it) as well as by make, color, ( or both together), or if you know the year or location taken. I find this useful at work and can save a lot of time looking for a car photo/s.
