How to Use Google Photos - Beginner's Guide

Google photo is a photo sharing and storage platform from Google.

There are 4 big benefits of using Google Photo.
1. Frees up space on your Phone
2. Easily moves photos to be accessed on the computer and moves photos from your computer to your phone
3. make sharing photos a lot easier.
4. Organizes your photos automatically by people in the photo, phototype, location, and more.

When using Google Photo, make sure backup and sync are turned on. This will automatically back up photos from your device to google photos and will do the same with future photos and videos.

You can also change the quality of the uploads here. High quality (16 megapixels for photos and 1080 p for videos) is unlimited but the original quality will count against your Google storage limit, which is 15GB for free accounts.

Google photos automatically organize your photos and videos for you based on location, people, and type of photos.

A.I is annoying, I don't want Google shuffling all my photos around and organizing it the way it feels is the best and identifying people and places and stuff. I just want to make my own folders and drag and drop stuff.

Thank you SO much for taking time to post this. I just got a new 2021 Motorola Gpower with Google photos, and have been reasonably unhappy so far. I really dislike that we cannot get rid of the Print Store in Libraries. But I can at least organize my photos a little better now thanks to you.

I have my Google photos synced, however, I'm trying to free up space on my phone/gallery. When I delete it from my gallery/camera it also deletes it from my Google photos app? Am I missing something here?

Great video! I take a ton of photos and I don't want to sync my phone photos to my google photo account. How can I select the photos I want to move from my phone's album to my google photo account without syncing?

[Jakbkwik]

Thanks for all the info. I've been using Google photos for awhile now but I haven't utilized all of the features. Do you have a video that explains how to use the "Utilities" features? I've had this message on my Google Photos app saying "1461 items to delete from this device" but I've been scared to actually do it because it didn't seem to give me the ability to review the items before deleting.

I dont see any way to edit in google photos on a mac computer, only on a phone. Do I have to have a paid google one account to edit?

[maureenphillips]

I need to copy my photos from my phone to my desktop, some of the Photos are very Old and cannot lose them . Priceless.

[keliblum]

Thank you so much for all the tips. I always learn something from your videos.

[kremans]

Thanks for your help. One problem I'm having is when I delete a photo from my iPhone, the copy on Google Photos is also erased. Something I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Hello there! Thank you for this video! Quick question... Is it possible to create a album inside an album? For example, a trip to Paris and inside Paris album create an album for Louvre, Eiffel tower and etc...?

[karlosnalda]

Is there a way to move all photos at once? I have way too much...

[boxbrown]

What a great period of instruction! Consider me a new student. I subscribed and hit the bell!

Sometimes I take photos of sensitive information, scan documents via the camera, screenshots, etc. that I don't want to back up. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to exclude an album from google photos for auto-backup. So I'm stuck clicking each photo to back up, then when I go to delete them "from this device" it says they aren't backed up, although indeed they are. Is there a way that this can back up photos from messages, notes, etc.? Or a way to exclude an album? I'm thinking I'll delete those photos from my phone, then turn on backup and sync. Then turn it off again and re-save the excluded photos. Anyway, any insight is greatly appreciated!
