Hey friends! What do you think about Google Photos no longer offering free unlimited storage? Let everyone know your thoughts below! ⬇️

The best and safest back up is to download all your files from icloud then save it to your PC or Mac or external hard drive

[milkalove]

what happens if i subscribe 1 month only to google photos and save all of my photos there, and then unsubscribe after its been a month?

[freshappleseed]

Not sure if this was alr mentioned in the video and I missed it, but I just use my alternate Google accounts to back up my photos now. It doesn't cost anything extra to just make another Google account and get another 15g that way lol

[wahkean]

It was their plan all along. Like a drug dealer; first one or two are free. Then you're hooked. Now they've got you for life. All hail The Google! We are here to serve!

If you buy the 100gb storage once an immediately end your subscription do you still hold the 100gb cloud space?

[blue_iiz]

I had a long think about it and refused to pay for a while then, as you discussed, thought about the pros and considered the multiple search options, the ease of finding photos I wanted from years ago, being able to access via mobile or computer and the fact the price was very cheap compared to other storage options. I did even try transferring my photos to expansion drive but was still worried I would loose my photos (including precious family memories) So in the end I now happily pay. Thanks for your post, helps me feel better about my choice xx

What happens if you stop paying for the 100 gb? what will happen to the storage that would be backed up?

[subreezy]

if i upgraded to more storage, a year ago and decide to cancel what happens to the photos that i have now that is over the 15gb

[samhnky]

Here's my issue... I have over 600GB of photos since I started backing up online somewhere back in 2013... (I use 2 cloud services and the other one backs up full resolution) So yes my Google Photos account might not be 600GB since I always just used the Free quality setting, but my guess is that at 1.99/month I'm only buying myself 1-3 years of service and then I'll have to choose do I continue to stay with Google, or do I upgrade my account... again?!

[lynhomer]

Yeah I was disappointed with this happening as I've used Google photos since owing my first Samsung phone, so I've done a bit of a sort out but I had so many pictures of my husky dog I lost 2 years ago I didn't want to lose them plus the one I have still haveand others, I have backed up on a external drive but I don't know whether to pay the Google upgrade or not, decisions decisions... what do you think is best about paying for the Google upgrade?

[paredoug]

Good video, I upgraded to 100 gig when I started using backup and synch. Is worth $24 annually to me.

[joranvancoillie]

Lol, I just bought the original Google Pixel XL from 2016 which has free unlimited original quality Google Photos storage. I just transfer all my photos to the Pixel which then uploads everything in original quality for free.

[manny]

Right now, after cleaning, I got about 4GB left of storage. I will upgrade when it gets closer to 15 GB.

[mjmmorales]

Thanks for all your tips. If I decide the $1.99 plan🤔 after 3 months will I lose the gigabytes if I don't use them within the 3 months? Also do you have to get a Google 1 account ❓ it says that since I've never had a Google 1 that I get a special offer. Please elaborate. Ty & god bless 🕊️

Since Google Photos compresses the photo to 16 Maga pixels (MP) and also reduces its size. If the photo is less than 16 MP (like as 12MP), will the quality of the photo still be reduced?
but its size is reduced, like 4MB to 1.05 MB .
Does less than 16 pixels reduce both the quality and size of the photo.
Only the size is reduced.
Less than 16 pixels reduces both the quality and size of the photo.
Only the size is smaller.

Google photos used to be my best default photos app due to a lot of features and the ability to control your memory

[InfiniVid]

Mines not updating.

It still says 0kb for photos storage and I’ve backed up stuff already this month which should be counting towards it

[myrnawarner]

Hi,
Thanks for your helpful videos. Do you know if I have multiple gmail accounts if I can have 15GB of storage for each email account?

[adriancanning]

How do you transfer photos from an old account to the new one?
