Update: Before filming this video, I tested this method multiple times, and it always worked perfectly fine. I was able to delete the photos from the original account, and they were still safe in the new account. And judging by most of the comments on this video, this has also been the case for most people who have tried it. However, I have now had a few comments from a few different people who said when they deleted the photos from the original account, the photos disappeared from the new account. I'm not sure if they did something incorrectly, or if there was some sort of glitch on their accounts or something. But if the photos end up deleted from both accounts, and you have emptied the trash, there will be nothing at all you can do to get them back, which would be very bad. So, before you do this, you may want to back up your photos using Google Takeout: takeout.google.com/ Or, try deleting one or two photos, and make sure they are still in the new account, before you delete all your photos, just to be safe.

Thanks for the information, Timmy! I followed all instructions up to 8:00 on "Deleting Photos from Old Account (optional) but I don't see my new account adding up in terms of storage used, when I deleted some photos from my old account. The new account also didn't add up storage when I stopped partner sharing from the old account (to validate that all photos have indeed been saved to the new account). I am not confident that I can safely delete all photos from my old account if the new account is not adding up in storage. My goal is to transfer all photos permanently from my old to new account and not worrying about the existence of the old account.

Sorry to hear that, this really shouldn't have happened if you followed all the steps correctly. The only hope will be if you still have the photos in the trash folder on the original account. As long as you haven't emptied the trash, you should have 30 days to retrieve them from the trash before they are completely gone forever. I'm really not sure why deleting the photos from the original account would delete them from the new account though. I've done this myself multiple times and that has never happened, and there are a lot of comments on this video from other people who've had no issues.

Hi! Thanks so much for this! I have been using my university google account (free unlimited storage) for years now. I use automatic back up and have many important photo albums. My university is now shutting down our accounts and I have to move all my photos to my personal account. I used your tutorial to move all my photos in my library. However, the albums have not been moved. How do I do that? I want to make sure I save all my photos before they are deleted.
@techtimewithtimmy6 ай бұрын
All the photos in photo albums are also in your Google Photos library, so they will have been transferred across to the new account, they just won't be organised into albums. Unfortunately I think your only option would be to create the albums again and find the photos in your library and add them to the album again if you want to, which could be a fairly time consuming task. But you should still have all of the photos in your new account.

Hi, there, Timmy! Good video and very clearly spoken! All good and instructive ! But what you (and many other video presenters in KZfaq) have neglected to mention is - and most importantly - that the new second account that you need to create, must be made in another INCOGNITO Chrome browser page !! If you create a new account in a new tab of the same browser as your original account with your original log-in ID, then the "Auto Save" function will not appear in your new account Photos page , nor can you transfer your photos to this new account. You could only have a sharing function, of seeing the photos still in your original account and which cannot be saved in the new second account. Once Google knows that it is the same person creating multiple accounts, it will restrict your storage to the 15GB per person in the original parent account only! So for adding on an independent account with another 15GB of storage, you would need to use another computer or anogher incognito chrome page to create this new account, which Google cannot link with your original account. I could have saved a lot of time if this was emphasized and stressed upon in the beginning !! Thanks !

Sorry about that. I can honestly say I wasn't aware of any issue like this. I've had both the accounts I used for years, and I'm sure at some point I've been signed into both of them in the same instance of Chrome, and they are currently both signed in on my phone at the same time. So it sounds to me more like some sort of glitch than a hard rule put in place by Google. If they have deliberately tried to do that to prevent people doing this, they don't seem to have done a very good job of it.

But when it comes to getting Storage in any of the accounts which are signed in from the same mother account, then it will not be possible to get separate 15 GB storages for them. You have to add the new accounts through a separate, unconnected and a fresh Chrome page, so as to get 15GB storages!!

I'm glad to hear it, thank you. The existing face recognition faces will not be transferred across, but after you give it a day or two to process, it should find all the same faces in the new account, so you would just need to go through and name each person again. Unfortunately, albums will not be transferred at all, so you would need to manually re-create each album and re add all of the photos into the albums. I barely use captions, so I'm not actually entirely sure what will happen there, but I'm pretty sure the captions would transfer across to the new account.

Yes, the photos will not take up storage space in the new account until they have been removed from the old account. As long as you can see them all in the main photos area in the new account, you will be good to go.

If it's a lot of photos, you probably just need to wait quite a long time for them all to come across.

Thanks for the video, however I have an issue. I set up a second account to save space cause my main one is already full and I have 13GB of pictures, when I did this to have them on a second account I only have 2.7GB of photos... they're thousands so I really don't know which ones are missing (I have it since 2014). What can I do to see if ALL my pictures are there and if so why are they taking only a fraction of the space?
@techtimewithtimmy2 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, there's really nothing special you can do, other than scroll through them all, which with that many pictures probably isn't practical. But it probably just needs more time to process, Google can be very slow at processing large changes to storage.

@techtimewithtimmy3 ай бұрын
You could try temporarily disabling partner sharing with your partner while you transfer the photos across. Then, once everything's transferred, you could turn off partner sharing with the new account and re-enable partner sharing with your partner. The other option would be to download all the photos to a computer, and then re-upload them to the new account, but that can be a rather slow process with a lot of photos.

Timmy thank you! Subscribed. I followed your steps but I had a question. When I click on one of the shared photos (while in the 2nd account) and click on the triple dot in the right hand corner of the photo, then scroll down to "backed up" and it says "this item doesn't take up space in your account storage". My whole point to doing this is so I can delete the photos in the 1st account and keep a copy of them in the 2nd account, then delete them safely from the 1st account. I've been playing around with deleting photos in the 1st account to see if they disappear from the (shared with) 2nd account, just to check... so far, the 2nd account photos stay when deleting from 1st account. Which is what I want. But... if they aren't taking up space in the 2nd account... where ARE they taking up space once deleted from the 1st account? Sorry for the long-winded question and I hope it makes sense! Thanks for everything and keep up the good work!

They won't take up space on the new account until they've been deleted from the original account. You need to delete them from the original account, then delete them from the trash on the original account, and then possibly wait a few hours to a few days for it to all process. Then they will start taking up space on the new account. But definitely don't do any of this if you have turned sharing back off, otherwise you will just be deleting your photos.

Yes, I would turn partner sharing back on, and make sure you have added all the photos to the library in the new account, and then it will be safe to delete the photos from the original account. Technically, after you've turned partner sharing off, the photos should still be in account 2 because they've been added to your library, but it's probably best to have partner sharing turned back on just to be safe. On another note, if you have 700GB of pictures, you'll want to make sure there is at least 700GB of storage space remaining on the new account, otherwise, you might run into trouble when all of the photos start to take up space on the new account.

Hello. I've a edu account that'll be shut in some time. I've around 80 GBs of data in that account. I have shared all the photos of that account to my personal gmail account. I've two queries regarding this process: 1. I've turned on auto-save. It's slowly saving all the photos from my edu account to the personal account, but not saving videos yet. Does the Partner Sharing not auto-save videos? 2. After manually saving some media to my personal account, I deleted it permanently from the edu account. But the media is neither taking up any storage space in my personal account, nor getting deleted from the personal account. I'm afraid if I lose the data as it is strange that photos are not taking up any storage space and also not getting deleted when deleted from the edu account. Kindly explain why this is happening and if it's fine or will that cause my data loss.
@techtimewithtimmy4 ай бұрын
I've had a lot of views from people with EDU accounts recently. Videos will all come across just like photos, if you're not seeing any videos appear yet, I would say it will start saving the videos after it finishes with the photos. When backing up photos and videos, it always backs up all the photos first, and then starts backing up all the videos, so it would make sense that this is what happens with partner sharing as well. So you'll just need to keep waiting until it all finishes transferring across. When you delete the photos from the EDU account, they will still be in the trash for the next 30 days, and while they are in there, they will still take up space on the EDU account, so will not count towards your new account storage. Once you delete the photos from trash in the EDU account, they should then start taking up space on the new account. It seems this can take quite a long time for the change to process, so don't panic if you see this warning immediately after removing the photos from the trash, it could still be a few more days before everything finishes processing.
