you look like Santa Claus of Christmas and your videos are real gifts for through out the life

Thanks Steve just found your channel, I stumbled across it and found it very user friendly looking to catch up with the rest.

Thanks Steve for another great tutorial. I would just like to add that Mentioned at around 9 mins the 'basic editing things'. If you click on the down arrow that looks like a wide letter 'v' to the right of the options for 'light' and 'color' you get options for adjusting the exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks and vignette. Also saturation, warmth, tint, skin tone and deep blue.

Another great tutorial in your series. Very informative!

Good video, but I have not figured out how to auto-sync cloud photos to my desktop. Appreciate Doug A's suggestion to use "Free up space" instead of deleting from phone.

Thanks, Steve, for another well-done, informative video. I use Google Photos for family history work. I scan old photos and share with extended family. I organize them into shared albums. I don't have a mobile device which would offer the possibility of Google Lens. I use it on my Chromebook. Eventually, if it becomes able to use Google Play Store, I might be able to use Lens then. I like the ability to make subtle color adjustments. I use the information part for captioning the pictures.

Recently found your channel. Big thank you, Steve! And Cannuck to boot!

So far I have stored my pic by date. I hope that with google photos I can still retrieve the by date

Another feature you did not mention that can be very helpful is to include two or more subjects in the search by adding "&" or "and" after the first subject. You could have only pictures of mimi and farley together! Love Google!

Love the Google Lens feature. I didn't know about it, Thanks Steve

I recently set up my google photos and the face recognition recognized a picture of my daughter now (Shes almost 15) and one from when she was about 3 years old! Tripped me out lol!

This is the video in the Google series that I've been waiting for! Thank you! Just for fun, I did a screenshot of just you, Steve, from the video. Then I tried out Google Lens ... ... It identified similar bookshelves! :-)

great video, would you do one on transferring photos from dropbox to google photos

Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks!

Great video! Thank you! Farley and Mimi are adorable!

Photos do not retain their sequence when uploaded to an album...Each photo must be located and rearranged individually. An album of 200 photos is hopelessly scrambled otherwise.

Excellent video! Very articulate, easy to understand and lots of good information! Thank you.

Hi Steve, I think you're right about Google Photos having to be open for it to sync. At least, that was my experience. Having said that, I finally decided that the nice functionalities of Google Photos was not worth the potentially scary (as you would say) invasion of my personal life by having access to all my photos. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it. Just today, Google was hit with a multi-million dollar fine by the EU for violating its privacy laws. Impressed to see you mentioning the privacy issue surrounding Google products, especially Google Photos.

Great video so thank you. Just an FYI in case you're interested but in Australia, Google Lens exists in G-Photos but is not available for PC (but can be used if you install an Android simulator). Also, there's no Photo Books options on either my Android or PC. I msg'd both Google and Samsung who both advised it's not available in this market. I suppose I'll have to take their word for it. btw, great hair.

You have 500 Likes, and just 5 dislikes (I don't know why u have even 5) but that is a 100 to 1 ratio. That is Vastly more than any other KZfaq who normally has a 1 in 10 maybe 1 in 20 ratio. That means you are 5 times better dude!!! Excellent video. Just the information I was looking for. Im a new subscriber. Cheers dude,

I use it once in a while it is cool thanks Steve .

I love your videos because they are clear and give lots of information slow enough for me to follow. I am looking for how to name a picture in google photos on my iPhone. Google says he is his cousin. He was just born and I can't get him renamed. I can't find a KZfaq on this. Most say you have to download and do all kinds of very complicated things which I know is not it. I used to know because I have many named already.

Great video. I am beginning the process of organizing my digital photos. I have iOS, Google, Amazon, and Shoebox. I need to organize in 1 place. After watching this, I’m thinking Google photos. Do you delete your photos from iOS or do you not even have that app on your iPhone? I have pix in so many different places, it’s confusing. What would you suggest? Also so many are eating up my space, aren’t they? Thanks for your help.also is there a setting to get rid of duplicates in Google?

Thanks Steve, another great video. Regarding some features not being available everywhere, here in the UK, we don't have the face recognition feature as EU Privacy law prohibits it. Oddly though, I mainly use Amazon Photos with my Prime account, (unlimited, no compression like Google), and that app does have face recognition, although it's not that good as you can't fix any errors! It mixes up my Grandson & Granddaughter for example.

Awesome video

Excellent content. Thank you. In case I ever do anything impressive, do you have an affiliate program? I would definitely recommend your videos if you do or if you do not. I especially like that you broke up the Google videos into a series. It is easier to digest and more easily works into my time constraints.

Love your channel!

Well done

Thanks Steve, love your videos. Maybe to add Google offers free unlimited lower resolution photo storage that does not affect your free space or alternatively keep your photos at full quality but it counts against your space. I personally have purchased additional space to store my photos. Too many photos lost from disk failures and no backups.

Just found you on KZfaq, Great Video!

I would like to be able to delete blurry, multiples or any photos. How do I do it so they remain deleted? Are you able to assist me please? Thank you.

it will do all this stuff but how do you move picture from phone to computer everything id do fabulouse but the how to make it work

This video needs to be updated annually. Don;' be surprised if in 2021 Google moves Photos into KZfaq as they are doing now with Music.

Love the help. Great videos. Thanks. Any ideas as to why IOS is so slow in uploading photos to Google Photos and what to do about it?

I don't know if this has changed recently but a few weeks ago - if I delete a photo from google photos - it also deletes it from the source I uploaded it from. Deleting photos should not be automatic like uploading them should be. Control Issue????

Good video, thank you I would like to say I don’t think that Google should poo poo the ideas of folders, because the idea of folders within folders ie albums with albums is still a great idea and could be incorporated in google photos, let me give you an example. If you like cruising you may go to the same place on different ships, so I would like to be able to upload one folder “Holidays” and within that folder have many more folders like “queen Mary 2013” and Queen Many 2018” at the present time you cannot upload folders/albums within folders/albums so after many years your screen would be so cluttered with albums

Thanks, I'm new to Google Drive/photos- helpful info. I have lots of large file photos on my desk top. Should I put them all on google photos so I can use search capabilities? What is the best way to share large files with people who have or haven't google? When I try to share photos with some people it says no "no google account found" even if I use their email address. How can I resolve this? Looking forward to "Gray Matters"Thanks , Jose Macias

Funny, in the USA we tend to spell it Gray and in the UK it's generally spelled, Grey.

My question is somewhat similar to Annette’s, you mentioned that organizing (digital) photos has become almost impossible. Do you think we should even try anymore? Or should we just set a regular schedule-I’m thinking anywhere between weekly and yearly depending on how many photos one takes-to purge unwanted photos and to work on our photo books (for those who are interested in that)? Should we be trying to rename our photos to something meaningful anymore? Thank you for your trusted opinions.

Love your channel. I'm trying to organize my pictures and when I move a photo from camera to album, the photo is in both places. If I delete it from camera it deletes in both places. How can I just keep it in the new album?

One more thing Steve. I have an iPhone XR and I have different words in photos and Albums than you do so I can't seem to see how to rotate and on the bottom row it just has Photos search and library. In library it has favorites, archive, utilities and trash. In 'search' it has people and all the categories but no way to edit except for light. Any suggestions?

Thank you for this most helpful video. The question I have is when your photo is in the cloud, how do you access it and can anyone access your photos?

I was hoping to find information on how sync Google photos reacts when you delete a photo from your Iphone library, will it delete from Google Photos as well. Also vice versa if you delete from Google Photos will it delete from your iphone photo library ?

I have loads of duplicate photos in my Google photos. Is there an easy way to resolve this? Thanks Steve

Great video. Is there a way to not allow Google to copy video or GIFs to the cloud?

my photo library is not accessible to my business FB account. How do I access on all gmail accounts and all FB pages I manage?

So, at 5:37 you're saying that the photos in Google Photos ARE the photos in my phone? They are not COPIES of the photos? So if I delete from one, I delete from the other??

How do you find Google photo books.??

If you have your photos both in Photos and Google Photos, what happens when you edit -- which should you do it in and how do you synch?

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?

How to delete duplicated photos?

Hi Steve. Love your videos. I use a chromebook, PC, and android phone. While on the PC, I made a new folder titled "Civil War". I uploaded quite a few files (.jpgs) relating to the Civil War to this folder from my PC. Everything looked great, but when I closed the program, the folder did not show up on any of my devices whenever I opened Google Photos again. So I tried again. Same result. Any suggestions? Is it possible to recover the folder?

My only problem with Google Photos is the duplication of photos. I wind up with multiple copies of the same photo and it drives me nuts. You’d think with how smart the software is it could find duplicates and not upload them. I don’t mind the size of the photos as I don’t have any that are so big they get compressed. None of my photos were compressed when they uploaded and they still fit within the free service and are fine for printing, etc. I just can’t stand that I have as many as 8 or 10 of the same photo because Google cannot recognize that they are duplicates. It shouldn’t be that hard to fix that.

Do you know if there’s a way to rename multiple photos all at once? Let’s say I have 100 photos and I want to rename them “anniversary 2018.1” “anniversary 2018.2” and so on.

Great video Steve but no longer interested in google photos as since they went to back up and sync I have not had my photos syncing despite following their instructions and can find no answer to the problem. I am now trying to rely less on Google products like this as when they go wrong which they inevitably do find support answers is very time-consuming.

Great video Steve, but does it help with storage issues on both Mac and iPhone as I need a photo's storage option that can remove them from my devises and store them safely in the cloud with easy access? Brian

Now, if you are an iPhone/iPad/Mac person, how do you take photos off the Apple Photos app/iCloud (to save storage on devices and having to pay for more iCloud storage) without losing the pictures in Google Photos. Also, is there any way to get Google Photos to keep the album structure from Apple Photos?

Hi I have blank image on Google photos and cannot delete it either, is this a virus? How can I remove it. Thanks

How do you have your settings set? My photos didn't back up to cloud. I don't have a large data plan and have them set to sinc on wifi only. But, i lost a slua photos recently that way. So, I was wondering if the settings were off on the App or Computer or both.

Steve! Thanks for all of your wonderful content! I am trying to share google photos to my company google folder for photos. I can't seem to drag and drop, UNLESS the photos are on my laptop. Is there a way to share those between google folders without downloading? #perplexed but a BIG fan. Charlie

I hope you read this comment, If you do, Hi......and Great Video as usual!!

My iPhone syncs new photos to Google automatically when connected to WiFi.

Can you tell me if Google photos has the ability to find duplicate photos that are contained in your photo area?

I cant seem to find a way to ha e Photos play a slideshow with photos I choose. Is there a way and I just missed it. Thanks

How to you manage to keep photos on line but not fill up your phone? I stopped synching photos and just upload those I want to save online. Is there a better solution?

If I delete a video from my iPhone photos then go back into google photos to view the video the quality of the video is much worse than it is when I have the video in both Apple photos and google photos. Can you explain this? Thank you

What if you forgot your password and started another account. How can I get my photos out from my old account and possibly combine them. Im afraid of loosing my old one.

Is there a way to strip off the meta data of the photos so that the location is not there for privacy?

Stephen Fehr

Steve, what does this give me more than iPhoto from mac if I use IOS?

I am trying to work out how to have photos uploaded automatically to the drive from a phone. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

face recognition does not work on my computer (in France !)

Is google drive the same as google photos?

Great video! Dear Steve, Farley is as world-famous as you are. How do you think Google would not recognize it? ;-) I keep insisting that not using tags/labels is still one less star for the GPhotos rating. Google AI can be extremely "intelligent" but "subjective" classifications will never occur. Let's say, marking some photos as "technical", "romantic", "important", "familiar", "funny", etc.

I recently got an email that there shutting down my google+ account what does that mean to me.

Is there any way to back up my Google photo by using other google account because my account is not working difficult to sign in😥

Too many words. Cut it down, please. I think you have very valuable information.

Android does it in background

Thanks Steve. Great information. I am in the process of uploading ~30,000 photos and videos from my 2011 MacBook Pro. It had been 7 days so far and the Upload/Synch window currently says “Synching 106864 of 232514”. Is this normal to take this long? What do these numbers mean? Do I continue to hang in there? Thanks in advance for the feedback

This is pretty much a repeat of another video he made a while back..

Google lens sucks sometimes. I had a photo of my bread. And it thought it was a big Mac 😂
