There was a question in chat about G-Suite: First of all, what was called G-Suite is now Google Workspace. As for Google Photos, it is not included as a part of Google Workspace, so there would be no difference in the storage policies as far as I can tell.

I just uploaded everything to Google Photos a couple of weeks ago. I had been using Photoshop Elements - well, tried to use. I work from multiple computers and won't be pinned down. It was too hard to make the PE "catalog" portable. I love the face matching and other search features GP provides. Do I wish it had more features? Certainly - organization features though - don't need more editing tools.

I have ~700 pre-digital photos that I have sent off to get scanned. Then my plan is to upload to Google Photos

I know I have some duplicates in my Google Photos. Does Google have any duplicate finder?

I have some kind of questions and I will be really happy if you will answer them:
I bought a membership from Google One (2 USD per month - 100 GB). However I checked that I already backup 80% out of 100%. And than I decided to switch from "Original quality" to "High quality". Of course however I press to compess the storage got 20% out of 100% (25 GB used out of 100 GB). Now, each month Google One is taking 2 USD from my bank account. I really don't know what to do :(
1) Do I have to unsubscribe membership of Google One ? or I have to pay 2 USD each month ? I am afraiding that if I will unsubscribe the membership, all my data will be removed.
2) If I unsubcribe the membership, can I use unlimited storage of google photos ?

Please advice me what to do ... I need your help

I'm missing photos of all May 2021 all of a sudden, and will the ones I do have will continue to be safely stored?

[terrancefowler]

Thank you. I am ok on photo storage but have my gmail counting toward the 15 allowed. Any suggestions on how to not have it count?

[evan-ierv]

I spawned with 100 gigabytes on my ogle photos instead of 15 why is that?

But this is a big deal to me! I dont want my content destroyed! Please, don’t let google make the high quality storage gone away! Please, don’t listen to google, They’re becoming greedy now! Please, tell them that all of the YouTube & google users are just still panicking! I don’t want my data & account to be gone! I’ll become depressed thinking about suicide! Please! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
