That was well presented! I’m a new but aging (75) Google Photos user and I have found some things confusing. And sharing tops the list. You’ve just taught an old dog a new trick and I thank you!

Something about this woman, I could listen to her all day lol. Smart, to the point, no nonsense. Great job! Thanks for clearing this up.

Thanks for the video, helped me a lot more than reading the official help articles. I would think Google pay their employees enough to do a proper job publishing app functionality to their users, and not reply on people like yourself to explain it for them .

Beyond words ... extremely valuable content, easy to follow presentation, backed up with superb documentation. We had a photos project and I am so lucky to stumble on your vid. Links were the answer. I have shared and have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the fabulous posts.

Nice job. Examples of what it looks like on the sharee (is that a word?) end would be useful. I share with my parents generation and none of them have smart phones, so I usually have to blindly walk them through things like this while on the phone. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

Super helpful, thank you! Just shot photos at a wedding, this is perfect.

Thanks. Sending pics I took from a memorial to family and friends. This SO helped me know how to send to those I just have emails from. Well explained.

Thanks! Very helpful info - Google’s UI is pretty confusing and this helped me do what I wanted (share an album with someone via SMS).

Thanks for this video, it's useful. Good explanation with examples made it easy to understand!

Great!! I just shared my first event photos, and it's thanks to you. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Great presentation and explanation! Thank you!

Well done. Concise, thorough, informative.

Excellent description. Thank you

'Link sharing' might be what I'm looking for. I heard you mention 'link sharing' just before I decided that maybe I should look into "Dropbox". I'm looking for a way to post images on an online forum. Thanks. I'll give 'Google Photos' a try.

I like how you can use link .I work with a group we then can all add a photo

I want to save pictures shared with me in an album. I'm afraid that if the owner deletes them from the album I will no longer have them. How do I save someone else's photos to my own album so that I become the owner of these images and can control if/when they get deleted?

So when you share photo as a link/ if I want them just to see that photo right they can’t see the rest of my personal album ? Or they can

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Great info. and very concise. I'm wondering if sharee's get updates via email when "comments" are made on the photos in an album that has been shared by link?

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. :)

So with a share album I need to add contacts or can just share the link and email x amount of people ?

If I share the link, can someone with link delete the photos? or they can just view the album?

Hi, thanks for you video! Do you know who’s cloud storage is “burdened” if I add my photos to my friends shared album?

Thank you for putting together this video. The main thing I'm looking for is basically how to transfer/copy an entire album, including the album definition, from one Google account to another. With sharing it's not clear to me if a physical copy of the photos are made to the new/second/target Google account or just reference/pointer/link to the original album and photos. In other words, once the Google album and photos have been shared with another account, can I delete the original album and photos without it affecting the new/second/target Google account that "hopefully" now has its own copy of the album and photos? Basically, can Google albums, including the album definition, be physically copied to another account and not be affected if the album and photos in the original/source account are deleted? Thanks!

Thank you for this.Video I have a question; when someone shares an album with you...do those photos take up the memory on my iPhone? and What if I want to remove myself from the shared album?

I have a question, I recently switched from Pixel back to iPhone. My Wife and I use Google photos shared album to drop pictures to one another as they maintain quality better than Whatsapp. However recently any photo I have taken now appears in her photos and not just the ones I have intentionally moved into our shared album. Neither of us have the 'share with a partner' option turned on so cannot work out why my wife receives everything from my phone. Help would be much appreciated!

Edit: figured it out in the comment thread 👍 Nice video! Quick question. I want to go and gather some photos from my parents of New Years circa 2020. If I ask them to share via google account to my google photos and the little “direct messaging” thing opens up. Will the photos be added to my library automatically? I want to consolidate a bunch of photos from different people into my library so it’s all in one place.

How do I prevent people from sharing with me?

v v good

still trying to download the photo is sent to me.... yesterday I was logged into Google photos from the link my friend sent me,.... very difficult to try to figure this out.... I really prefer simple attachments..east to open and yse. then I can save them wherever I want !!!

Helpful. But it should be title "Understanding Sharing in Google Photos MOBILE APP"

Hii, i had a question… so my iPhone camera roll is constantly telling me that my storage is full and I can’t take any photos or videos…i have a google account so I have google photos…i tried to delete some photos from my camera roll but they got deleted from google photos too… but I saw an option on google photos where it said that there are some backed up photos on google photos which can be deleted from the device so should I do it? And if I do will those photos get deleted from google photos too?

Im sending pics and vids by link from an Android to my wife who has an iPhone. We can't figure out on her iphone how to save the pic or vid from the shared link to her iphone photo gallery. Is that possible?

Question: I have my childrens email on my cell phone. I am finding my photos are being shared on with their google photos. How do I stop this from occurring?

i really have a problem with sharing my Google photos account....when I share my main account to another Gmail account...i am not able to get backup from the date that I wanted...instead the whole photos in my gallery are being uploaded to the another account...why am i not able to get photos backed up from the date that i wanted..!!??? plss respond...🙏🏻 as I have a lot of important photos to be backed up

why don’t i have a shared album icon and im sharing 2 albums ?

Hi, nicely done. "Sharing" gets harder by the minute, especially if your recipient has no interest in "joining" anything. My question: Do you know if photos are shared in full resolution (300 dpi for JPEGs) or are they downgraded to lesser dpi resolution, as is the case with SmugMug. (Dropbox currently is the only service I know of that doesn't degrade resolution, but they are making it increasing difficult to "share" without becoming a Dropbox client. (Too many words, sorry, but have been fighting this problem for a while, and Google doesn't seem to meet my needs either.)

I searched for photos from a specific month and year and, inadvertently, shared the search link, thinking I was sharing just one photo from that search. Is the recipient able to view everything dated in that month or year?

Whoever I share an album link with will only be able to access that album and none of my other photos, correct? Also, if I want them to be able to download photos from that same album is there some other step?

Well done and answered a number of questions for me. Here's a question I've not been able to find an answer to. Once or twice a day I receive an automatically created Google album. (So far, it's not an annoyance.) The albums are usually created around recent photos or people. Whenever I've tried to share that album, it only shares the first photo. Do you have any instructions on how to share the Google created album?

Hi , my partner shared their Google photos with me I set so everything is saved automatically to my Google photos . If they ever stop sharing their Google photos with me are these photos that are saved in my Google photos only be deleted?

copied link to send to myself and got error with google server did I do something wrong

How can I send all albums in a link?

How do you get it to not show the date and time? Not talking about location because that's already turned off for others however I do not want my phone information and the date and time to be shown is there a way to turn that off for people that have the link or sharing the album too?

So helpful

Oh yes, the Album vs. the Shared Album. This is the bane of my existence. Hey Google, hire some Apple guys, will you?

Thanks for sharing this. is there a way to create nested folders inside an album? I'm wanting to have a social media album with my team with images for each client. I would be fine without nested folders but seems that the image title isn't visible in google photos. It would be great to have a prompt to rename images in albums are one layer deep

If we share Google photo by like so how we know if whether he view that or not ..is there any way ??

Thanks for the video, question from me. Is there an option for me to create a shared album where not everyone with the link automatically has access but they can request access and I as the owner of that album can than decide whether to grant access to that person or not?

Hey. Thanks for the information. Do you know what happens when a partner stops sharing Google photos? Will that person's name be shown in the place of partner sharing once s/he stopped sharing?

how can I delete a contact?

Hi there! Thank you for this information. I was also struggling with the difference between albums and shared albums. I have created an album with texts between the rows of pics as I set them up. I shared the link with a friend but she sees only individual pics at a time with the text boxes strewn around between them rather than the organized album with text as I set it up. She does not have a google account, but this shouldn't make a difference, should it? I copied me on the email to her with the link and when I click on it I see the album with the text as I created it. Thanks for any help or referrals for this question.

Is there a way to make a shared album permanently available to those it is shared with. When looking at the shared section I notice that it only continues to show shared items going back a short period of time. Some albums have been shared years ago but they are no longer shown.

What is meant by little profile photo in bottom right of a photo

I tried to share a pic to twitter when i clicked on it later it just took me to my page see photos screenshots etc. Ive been panicked people saw my whole camera reel. I went into a diff twitter account and saw everything. Is it just my device knows its me. Why was the pic not there? And could people see my whole reel and my ugly pics.

If I am the owner of a shared album and I want to free up some space from my Google account, can I remove the pictures from the album without the other person loosing the pictures?

Nice

Is there a way I can access my mother in law photos from my computer so I can organize her photos? We live in different states so I want to help her from home.

Do you know how to save a photo to the shared album and leave it in that album but maybe delete it from your camera roll?

A friend used my phone to make a video. I sent it to them through Google Photos. If I delete it from the app will they still have it?

With link sharing will this protect my album from anyone editing or deleting my photos in my album?

How do I had the line to the bottom of my emails? Please

If i join someone else's hared album will they see my photos and videos

if i share a video with someone can they see other videos i have not shared or only one i did???

I think/hope u solved my problems

You talked to fast and it wasn't clear where the various things on phone were. I suppose I will have to watch more times or video to understand how to do this.

Still confusing and you went too fast.

My brain can't keep up with your fast speech? Me being older probably has something to do with that? Thanks anyway
