What if i upload let's say 1 GB of photos on my Account 1 and share them (partner sharing) with Account 2 and save them in Account 2 (as mentioned in this video) then I delete them from Account 1, will I still be able to access those photos from Account 2? How long they'll available to me? Is there any chances google will delete those photos as they were deleted from Account 1 but still accessible by Account 2?

Nice that you found this solution to work around Google's way to limit the maximum storage capacity of your free Google Photo account without paying a few $ to expand that limit. The question is, however, what is more important to you. Saving a few $ and enjoying your day or spending hours jumping around digital hoops, setting up accounts, logging in and out, and remembering the different passwords. Not to mention that some of the useful Google features like building Albums etc. are not working unless you want to spend hours transferring files back and forth.

The reason if you delete from the 1st account and they are deleted from the second account is usually because 'auto save' is not turned on. It's covered at 4:16 in the video. Is auto save switched on and the photos in one account are being deleted in the second account? Because it's working fine for me with my partner sharing - I would be very interested if the 2nd account is deleting with 'auto save' turned on. I've even removed the partner share pairing and the photos remain. Hope this helps!

Hi @aditya234567 Thanks for the kind question: With partner sharing, if you turn on auto save, the photos shared from the 'photos' account to the 'original' account do not count as storage on the shared account. Plus they are shared at original quality, even if storage saver is turned on! They do count as storage on the 'photos' account, but if auto save is switched on, when you delete them from the 'photos' account they remain in the shared account, so the photos account can always be kept under 15GB. Hope this helps
@TarekFaham11 күн бұрын
I'm a little confused. You are doing this sharing across multiple google accounts from one single Android device. Meaning that when setting up backing up to cloud storage, from account 1 and account 2 on the same physical Android device you will end up duplicating the backup of your photos from one device to account 1 and account 2. Did I miss anything? Unless you follow a strict approach to draw a line between the backup to account 1 and account 2. Meaning, when account 1 is full, you must delete all the backed up photos from your device and switch over to account 2. Is that correct?
@nkansasampson96596 ай бұрын
Very educative, thanks. I have a question; after connecting Account 2 (new) to my google photo app on my phone and switching back up on, it started backing up my old pictures on my phone which is already backed up in my account 1 (old ). How can I set back up date to start from the day I link account 2 (new) to my google app on my phone ? Or how can I stop account 2 (new) from backing up my old photos on my phone gallery ?
@protomotive3 ай бұрын
Yup, I ran into the same issue and queried BARD/Gemini about that issue. without using a third party app, it's not possible. Google automatically will backup everything on your phone it can find. so unless you move ALL of your old photos to another directory and mark it for DO NOT BACKUP, it will back them up.

Hi thanks for the kind message Elisa - it's so frustrating. I declared a year zero with my phone and backed it up to a hard drive to be totally safe, and then started the new account with new photos only. I deleted the old pictures from my phone - knowing they're safe on a hard drive and in my original Google Account. (This also stopped my phone filling up to maximum) It meant the 'new' photos account only had 'new' photos, and I partner share it with my very old personal account that I use daily so that everything is in one place. It's not ideal but it stops my phone from maxing out any new Google account. Thanks for letting me know I didn't share this as best as I can in the video. Hope something here helps and good luck with your storage. Thanks again

Ok so im thinking that apon sync with new photos to new account he then dumps phots from phone to hard drive the sheres that account to his old daily account to have access from one account to 2 accounts worth which is only 30G. But this can be done from many accounts to one daily account that youd have to turn sync off in order to not allow your daily to upload your photos. Only have one new account sync photos. Whenever one accout sync is full 15G all photos would have to be moved from phone to hard drive to then open another accout that you would share to your daily. Phew. I get it now. Its a lot but sounds like it should work. If you dont need the original photos on your phone that is. The clean sweep and new account would have to be done every 15G which isnt much now days. Managing so many accounts wouldnt be too hard since you would only access those accounts through the partner sharing once the 15G is full. I swear this almost has to be a class for most to understang fully. Why is it that google photos is the only place we trust to save photos? Is there trustable options elsewhere that wont reduce the size or delete photos? In my experience Google photos has deleted many of my oldest photos without my permission. But also Google photos is the only place my old photos exsist anymore. All other have been lost. (In my experience)

Neil, I have watched all your videos on getting free Google Photos storage by sharing on additional Google accounts. I am still not clear on certain parts. Here is what I have done. Google 1 has 10 gb of Google Photos. Google 2 is a new account just created. So I shared all photos of Google 1 with Google 2. Google 2 accepted the invite and save all photos. Then I turn off the share and both 1 & 2 have the same photos. Google 2 shows storage of zero. Now I have seen some comments (not necessary from your video), saying if the photos on google 1 are deleted, the photos on Google 2 also disappear. That seemed to make more sense to me since Google 2 is on its own and how can it have photos that take no storage space? What am I missing?
@neilmossey11 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for the kind question and making it super clear. When I delete photos from Google 1, they remain on Google 2 for me. I'm astounded, but they are still there. When you click on the 'i' icon for more info it confirms the photo in Google 2 is original quality and takes up no storage space. The best way to test it is naturally take a test photo you don't mind using, let it sync then delete it in Google 1. What might be happening with the people commenting this does not work for them is to double check which account your phone is syncing with. I have turned off backup and sync in my phone app for Google 1 and leave it logged into Google 2. If I do change that login on the phone app to Google 1 for any reason, it won't start syncing my phone with that account because I have backup turned off within the app. Hope this makes sense and good luck with your trial. I can only say it's still working for me like a dream.

It seems a phone number can only be used 5 time (I only have 1 Google account) but somehow I have reached that maximum. Maybe if the same phone number is using in other accounts (non Google)? Its something to be aware of.

Hey Neil, thanks for the video! So amazing! 💯👏🤜 Just wondering does that only work with a Gmail ? I'm sure if it's Google photos you would have to make a Gmail . I'm sure we could share it . I share stuff to my Yahoo mail all the time. A lot of photos. But to save all photos wouldn't you have to have a Gmail?

Hi Neil, Thank you very much for the interesting video of yours. Can you help me out please? I've done all your steps several times but on on seconde account, the storage space shows almost the same as the first (original) account. Is there something which needs to be disabled/enable??? Thanks for your helps.

Doesn't make sense that the photos are still there when you are removed as a partner by the "sharer" of the photos, even if they don't delete anything on their account. This is indeed an unlimited storage loophole that is just too good to be true and Google may soon catch on.

What I suspect is that Google will kindly ask you to pay for the maximum storage plan cold turkey one day if you use this loophole. It may be left alive for that purpose actually. And maybe even ask for arrears because your attitude went against T&C

One problem... Once your second Google photos account fills up, and you need to create, say a third Google account for another 15Gb, will you then need to stop sharing with account#2 which means that all those photos will disappear/be deleted from the main(1st) Google account. Am I correct??? My understanding is that you can only share with one partner at a time.

Hi thanks for the kind question - it sounds as if "Auto save" isn't switched on. Go into the sharing tab on a desktop or phone in Google Photos and the option to "Auto save" should be there. Once switched on, the photo stays after being deleted in the other account. Or click on the settings cog in the top right corner. Click 'partner sharing' And click on "Save to your account" Hope this helps!

Hi thanks for the kind question. If you share with the account where you want to see everything, and have auto save turned on... when you delete from the new 'photos' account, they remain in the account where you want to see everything. That way you can always free up space in the 'photos' account. Hope this helps and good luck with your Google Storage!

Thanks for the kind question - yes, that's how I do it - I make sure my photos upload to the new account. I also backup the photos on my phone to a hard drive/memory stick for safety and delete them on my phone so I'm not backing up exactly the same files that caused the space to be used up in the first place, but your mileage may vary.

And what if google someday says: ok, that's enough. Your partner from account 1 deleted photos long time ago so we delete these photos too. You all are risking many memories by losing these photos without any chance to backup it before google delete them. Think about that how risky is this

that is true I wanted to continue but I feel like Google may do something. Technically we aren’t really doing anything wrong we are using the feature for what it was made for sharing photos and videos but deleting on main so storage doesn’t go up. I don’t really see the issue in that if that’s the case Google should’ve never made the feature

@neilmossey Жыл бұрын
Great question - if it were me I guess it would depend on how big I wanted to print. I've printed these at 6x4" and they look perfect to me but if I were into printing high res or onto larger canvasses then I'd probably rely on saving them to a hard drive as a backup, which is what I do. Hope this helps

Hi Sorry to hear this - I'm not sure I understand. I think it sounds like you might not have gone through the process of turning on Auto Save.

@neilmossey Жыл бұрын
Hi Ian, thanks for the kind comment and questions. It can take a few hours, but I think some people report that Google Photos is showing that it is still compressing long after it has actually finished compressing. It takes internet when backing up photos from your phone, but not when it is compressing. You can close the window and it will happen in the cloud. Hope I've understood your questions correctly and good luck!

Hi Kristen, - thanks for the kind comment and question: Yes, it's safe BUT this is what I do: - make sure that Auto Save is turned on. It's easy to take a test photo, let it be synced/shared and then delete it to confirm it doesn't disappear in the shared-to account. - Back up your phone to a storage card, computer, memory stick or hard drive (or all of them!) periodically for safety I've even partner shared, with other accounts then removed that account (you can only partner share one at a time) and the photos remain in my shared-to account to this day. Hope this helps and good luck with your Google Photos.

Thanks for the kind question - if it were me, I'd back up to the new account and make that my photos account. I would partner share that account to my original account so all the photos can be seen from there without taking up space. It would also also - if I'm feeling brave and after a test - allow me to delete photos from the new account to keep that under the limit, while the shared photos are still safely shared to my original account. Hope this makes sense - good luck with your storage!
