Then that's a great bug at google, these photos belong to nobody since they are shared by account 2, and deleted by account 2, but someone on internet like account 1 still has access that means google doesnt really delete them 😮

Everything is currently downloading, sharing, and freeing up storage. Thank you!!🙂

Amazing thankyou so much

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?

Thanks for the kind comment Chris - hope it's still working for you (it's still working for me!) Good luck with your Google Photos

@@neilmossey it still works for me too! It's been a godsend. Thanks again :)

Thanks for the kind comment Kaminsky Fontes - Really appreciate it

I have been sharing for over three years, but because the photos are for my child to be able to have when he grows, without having to access my lifetime gmail account, Im still afraid of erasing and be surprised that gmail changes policy, and then my child doesnt have lifetime memories... Im paying storage because I have not deleted the photos...and Im thinking an external drive is going to be my best second option to gurantee the preservation of a lifetime memory for my child. Still dont trust google fully to this task :(

Thanks for the kind message Donna. Hope this helps and fingers crossed it works for you. Don't forget to activate the AUTO SAVE option after the partner link is made, so that photos are saved in the shared account even if you delete them from the first account. They take up no storage quota and appear as original quality! Good luck with your Google Photos storage and thanks again!

Hi Thanks for the kind comment - hope something here helps. I deleted off the photos from my phone before the new account so that it wouldn't fill the new account. You probably dont need to see another video, but I go through the process step by step here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a62PgZdy07KxmYE.html Thanks again and good luck with your Google photos storage!

Thanks for the kind message @syzybukhari - I really appreciate it!

Hi Marwan Thanks for the kind comment and really pleased you've managed to set up Partner Sharing! There's only one step now and that is to switch on AUTO SAVE On a desktop or laptop, go to google.photos.com and click on the sharing tab on the left hand side There should be a really big button offering to auto save If not, click on the cog at the top of the screen Click on partner sharing then click save to your account On a phone, click on the partner sharing tab the option to auto save should be there, if not, go into settings as above Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't work Good luck with your Google Photos!

Thanks for the kind comment Anas, appreciate it.

But it's not working right now, if you delete the photo from 1st account it will automatically delete from 2nd.

Thanks for the kind comment, @PoetryFlowsThruMe - good luck with your Google storage!

Thanks for the kind comment, and sorry to hear this @teaaftersex Can I check you haven't missed a step? 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

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.

Ah, that's really great to hear - thanks for taking the time to leave a kind message, I really appreciate it

Thank you for the kind comment Zenon, I appreciate it. Hope something here helps.

Thanks for the kind comment Susan, and hope something here helps! Good luck with your Google Photos!

Same question

I did that and once deleted a Pic from original account and went to go look at it on the shared account it was deleted also..?

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)

Yes! Love it!!!! Neils great with this!👍

YES

I try to delete my photos from the primary acc, but the photos is also been deleted at the sharing account. How to solve that? 😭 ​@@truthmatters7805

I tried it, but it didn't work?!!!

@@mariasheikho9290 no. It does work. I try it early this week. Its took 24hr for my other acc give me approval email. And then it good to go

Thanks Italjohn!

Thanks for the kind message @anamhussain7573 - really appreciate it!

Hi thanks for the kind comment - since the video, you can only partner share with one account... but if you use auto save you can "share' once with an account long enough for it to save everything and then share with another account and the pictures from that first share still remain! Hope this helps and good luck with your storage

@@neilmossey Awesome, thanks for the advice, not all heroes wear capes!

​@@neilmosseyyep! That's what I'm doing.

Hi thanks for the kind comment Yes- but... I personally do it the other way round. I use the 2nd new account for photos which are shared to my original account, so I have everything there which is searchable, and I delete off the larger ones from the 2nd new account. They then remain in my original account taking up no storage allowance. Obviously, whichever way you do this, make sure auto save is enabled and do a test to make sure you're not losing anything you want to lose. I backup all my pictures from my phone to hard drive anyway. Good luck and thanks again.

@@neilmossey thank you for replying! Yeah I just did a backup of my phone into my hard drive anyways lol. I don't primarily use GP for storage.. I like Google photos because it gives me those satisfying 'one year ago today' '5 years ago today' notifications and other features like face recognitions and stuff lol. So I would exploit this storage trick for these features!! Thank you again!

Yes!!! I delete them all in my first email account and they stay in my second email account it's true it's great this guy is amazing and explains it so good!!!👍

Hi, sorry it's taken so long to reply. Hope I am understanding your question properly. For me, the 2nd (new) account is filling up, and will eventually hit 15GB so I am going to have to delete videos from 2nd (new) account, hoping that they will remain saved in account 1 (my old, original account). Hope this helps.

@@neilmosseydoes that work? Since your account 1 gets in real a shortcut of photos shared from account 2, if you delete them from account 2, the shortcuts point to nothing then how could you consume the photos again?

@@maximebai5609same doubt, as the photos was deleted by account 1 and was shared to account 2 (partner sharing) so how can we access them in account 2 without evenusing the storage of account 2?

Turn off back up in google photos

Really sorry to hear this. Can I ask if 'auto save' is switched on? The auto save setting should appear in the 'sharing' tab on desktop or in the app: Photos settings - sharing - partner sharing Hope this helps

Thanks for the message and forgive me I'm not sure I understand the problem. When you delete photos from your original google photos account, did you want the photos to also be deleted from the other account? Hope I can help.

@@neilmossey No, So basically partner sharing is turned on on both the accounts okay. But when I delete a photo from my original photos account, it automatically gets deleted from the new account also. You said if you delete a photo from account 1, it will stay in account 2, that's not the case here!!

​@@AshishSalunke1hi ashish, have you set the setting to "save all" on the receiving account?

@@afif294 Yes, I did 👍🏼 Still when I delete a photo from Account 1 then it automatically gets deleted from Account 2

@@AshishSalunke1 Thanks Ashish and sorry to hear this - that's frustrating. Can I ask, how are you deleting the photo, are you deleting it on your phone, and which account is your phone logged into? (You can only backup and sync the phone to one account at a time)

Thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the kind message Leo

In my case as well

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.

​@@neilmossey It doesn't work for me idk why When i delete the photo from the copy one it will deleted also in my original one ! Thanks for helping Big brother. ❤

@@AS.MA_ So sorry to hear this - checked it again and my deletions from the 'photos' account - which is on active backup from my phone - still remain in the account they are shared to. And I make sure that account has backup switched off on my phone, but the phone is set to sync with the 'photos' account. Hope you can get this to work somehow because it sounds quite frustrating for you that it isn't! Hope also that 'auto save' is turned on, on both accounts, for safety. wondering if it's syncing back to the 2nd account which is deleting it? Maybe if nothing else works, turning off Partner share from the shared account to the photos account, so that the share is only in one direction from the photos account to the shared account? Either way, good luck with your storage and thanks again for your kind message.

@@neilmossey Thanks a lot Mr.neil I really appreciate Your help/time Thank you ,You are the best ❤

Thanks for the kind question. We can only backup to one account at a time, so if it helps, what I do is after setting up the partner sharing... I backed up all my pictures to a hard drive/external drive/memory card for safety. Make sure the Google Photos app is set to my 'photos' account, and turn on backup to there in Settings. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the kind comment! Good luck with your storage - my dog's called Casper!

Thanks for the kind comment. I sometimes have my days!

Hopefully not

Lmao I can get unlimited photos/videos storage on google photos by spoofing my device to pixel XL 😂 and it's free. It's been like that for years, anyway I didn't try the method mentioned in the video because it's not very effective

@@XdekHckr you're the same person in github revanced XD I'm also looking for a non-root method. Do you have one?

How do i spoof my device to pixel XL? @@XdekHckr

Thanks for the kind question Netcalibur - I've had mine for about a year now and no duplicates - it's quite handy being able to have and search everything in one place, in both places! So one account is the one that's uploaded to, and it also has my legacy pics, and the other where the new photos are shared with... Hope this helps! Good luck with your storage

@@neilmossey yeah, all good, thank you. I've noticed that archived shared pictures will take up storage as they actually get saved and uploaded onto your cloud. So no archiving then 🫡

Thanks - have you clicked on the 'i' icon in the shared photos because mine state they do not take up quota. might be worth checking just in case!

Hi Aruna, yes that's right - create a new google account first. Forgive me, this is covered here on my other video, in case this helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpxhhthp2MfDYpc.html Good luck and thank you again for taking the time to leave a kind comment

Hi @feltjoker7543 - thanks for the kind question. Yes that's correct BUT make sure you have activated 'auto save' in both accounts as shown in the video. Also, delete one photo you don't care about first as a test - I am still doing this and it still works, so really hope this works for you Thanks again

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 asking. I've tested this many times and continue to test it on my own accounts. If you delete from the original account and auto save is switched on, they stay in the shared account even after deleting! You could try testing this yourself with a test photo.. Thanks again!

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. Good luck with your storage and thanks again

@@neilmossey Thank you! 🙏🏻

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

Too true thanks. Which is why I back my phone up to a hard drive x2 too. But the Google Photos is really useful for searching in the meantime.

@@jeongiiinnie Remember when they offered unlimited google drive storage then one day *poof* everyones data got locked and deleted. this is what will happen with this.Google isnt stupid.

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. So the pictures from the other account can only be seen in the shared tab? Can you see an option to allow Auto Save? It might be in the shared or utilities tab or settings. Hope this helps

Thanks for letting me know and sorry to hear this. Have you turned on Auto Save in account 1?

Thanks for the kind comment Sean

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 message Augustus and good luck with your storage!

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!

@@neilmossey thanks neil for the reply I have another query if you could reply once again . If i backup that on my new acc my storage would be filled again and there would be no way i would be left with no storage on any account 🥲 . And another question I have tried to download a picture from my sharing account and i couldnt because there is no option of saving the photo from google sharing account 🥲😭 and what i did is i deleted that picture from my icloud which got deleted from my first google acc and i only have it in my sharing new google acc . Sorry for the long question session . Would be glad if you would take a min to reply 🥹
