Hi, Arun Joshi 7770
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
Your photos are safe on the Google Cloud.
The free up option removes the originals of backed up pics from the phone.
That creates space to capture new photos.
Restoring the backed up pictures would be defeating the whole purpose of the free up space exercise.
 
Nevertheless, to bring back the pics to your phone's gallery either, you can download photos one by one.
Regrettably, there is no option to do so on a batch of photos.
 
Alternatively, you can install the Google One app. There is a one time option to restore up to two hundred most recent photos to the device.
However, that will not restore the local folder structure.
There is no requirement to join Google One. The option is available to everyone. 
However, the method may not be helpful to recover something when the count is more than two hundred.
 
Or, you can arrange for a bulk download by visiting the link https://takeout.google.com/.
Select the Google Photos app for data download.
Once the file is ready, you will get an email. Access that & unzip all the attachments into your phone's gallery.
 
That will bring everything to your phone.
 
Still, for more information, I suggest you visit this link.


Answer:

Maybe I was not clear, I could not find the pictures in google Cloud either (I know that when free up space they disappear from the phone, that is the idea). However, the problem lasted just for few time, after waiting they appeared, I just did not know how to delete the question. Thanks for the time :)

I deleted an already backed up video from Google photos but was present on my phone's storage.I clicked on "Free up space" assuming that Google won't delete files that aren't backed up, but found out that it did delete that video file. Can i get the files from 21st September back? It is really important for my work i need help please

Answer:

Hello 4229 Aritra Guha Roy ,
 
If you have uploaded photos on google photos and deleted it please take a look at the below info.
 
 
 
Following is text from the official Google Photos Help page about deleting and restoring photos and videos: 
 
Restore photos & videos
If you deleted an item and want it back, check your trash to see if it’s there.
  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app .
  2. At the bottom, tap Library  Trash .
  3. Touch and hold the photo or video you want to restore.
  4. At the bottom, tap Restore. The photo or video will be back:
    • In your phone’s gallery app
    • In your Google Photos library
    • In any albums it was in
If the item is not in your trash, it may be permanently deleted.
    Important:
    • If you delete a photo or video that’s backed up in Google Photos, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
    • If you delete an item from your Android device without it being backed up, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
    • If you see a photo or video in Google Photos that you think you deleted, it might be on a removable memory card. To delete it, use your device’s gallery app.
    Empty your trash
    If you see a request to "Delete permanently" when you try to move an item to trash, your trash is full. Your trash can hold 1.5GB.
     
    Important: If you empty your trash, you permanently delete any items in your trash.
     
    Don't see the photo or video?
    If a deleted photo or video isn't in trash, you can’t restore it. You won't be able to restore a photo if:
    • You moved it to trash more than 60 days ago.
    • You moved it to trash, then emptied your trash.
    • You permanently deleted it from your trash.
    • You permanently deleted it from your device’s Gallery app, without backing it up first.
    When you attempt to manually empty the trash bin in Google Photos, a warning message box appears that explains you are about to permanently delete those pictures and videos. If you choose to proceed anyway, there is nothing that any of the volunteers in this forum can do to help you recover your pictures. 
     
    The information on the following Google Photos Help pages will help you become more familiar with finding, deleting, and restoring your pictures: 
     
     
    If you deleted pictures or videos that were not previously backed up to your account through the Google Photos app, then unfortunately there's nothing that Google or any of the volunteers in this Help Community can do to recover them. 
     
    Files that existed only on your phone, ones that were never uploaded to the cloud, cannot be recovered or restored by a cloud storage service. Simply put, Google can't help you recover files it never had in the first place.
     
    Thanks.


    Answer:

    Google don't delete files which are not backed up. 
     
    That's why I gave you a step to look at photos library sometimes it's hard to find a bunch or you can even check the trash.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Answer:

    Hi, Will West 7244
     
    Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
     
    You are not moving a photo to an album.
    You are simply adding a tag to associate that with a specific album. The photo remains in the gallery only.
    Thus a photo can be a member of multiple albums. 
    But deleting a photo through the album will delete that from everywhere & you should never go for that.

    Answer:

    What way you were used to? 
    You perfectly can create a normal album and switch-on the options you want for sharing and that can be with not allowing any comments typed and/or any pictures added. 
    But also if you have chosen to create a new shared album, you can switch-off these options under its 3 dots before you send the link.

    Hi Chitra,
     
     
    >>>>I created albums and moved photos from iPad to google photos. Cannot see the when logged on a windows computer
     
    Double check that you see the "Backup complete" message when you tap your profile image or icon in the Google Photos app.
     
    Double check that you are using the same Google account in the Google Photos app and the account on the computer where you are accessing 
     
    If you don't see the images in https://photos.google.com/u/0/ when logged on correctly then your images probably are not in Google Photos (e.g., maybe the app on your phone is acting like a gallery app for local images because "Backup and sync" is not enabled).
     
    It is always a good idea to store important images in more than one place / tool.  My photos are in Google Photos, on my laptop, and on multiple external disk drives (not connected to any computer or network).
     
    Best regards,   Dougsap (volunteer Google Photos user)
     


    Answer:

    Thank You! 
    Back up complete is not there. Back up is ongoing. 
    I do see many photos on "photos" but the albums are empty, though the albums show up as created . IPad shows all the pictures I moved into albums, not the google photos website. 

    I guess my photos have not quite made it to the google cloud.  May be need overnight. 

    What about google drive? I can move photos there and delete from the device. Later, I can download to other storage, giving me two places, one not connected to the internet.


    Answer:

    Not needed to use Google Drive because you can download series of pictures (or an album) straight from photos.google.com in the main browser (Edge) of your Windows-computer. 

    It becomes another story if you want all (people always want all :-), but then you must be more clear about your goal(s), because a lot of organisation is needed then.  

    The Google Photos app on iPad automatically show the pictures in your Apple library ("camerarol"), but as Doug already explained: you have to be logged-in with your Gmail-account and you need to set the backup to the same account and to use storage saver quality to prevent that you need to pay for more space at Google very soon. 
    And in the main settings for the Photos-app you must check if the app is allowed to work in background and if some battery-saving is switched - else the backup proces never comes ready and you don't see on your computer what you should see at https://photos.google.com/albums

    Good luck


    Answer:

    Hi Rinus,
     
    Thanks for your reply, hope things are well with you!
     
    Hi Chitra,
     
    >>> What about google drive? I can move photos there and delete from the device. Later, I can download to other storage, giving me two places, one not connected to the internet.
     
    I don't think I would recommend using Google Drive and Google Photos.  Google Photos is purpose built and optimised for photos (including "Free up space" to minimize manual intervention which is the cause of many mistakes and problems). 
     
    I simply back up the photos from my phone to computer a couple of times a year using a lightning cable (typically after important travel or events).
     
    Best regards,   Dougsap 
     
     
     


    Answer:

    Thanks Doug - all well here and happily corona did pass our doors. 
     
    I fully agree with you that using Google apps on Apple is not logical unless you already have a history at Google because your former phone was an ordinary Android :-)
     
    Just a remark: a lighting cable (whatever that is :-) may not connect to a Windows-computer, but the normal charging cable with a standard rectangular usb-connector certainly will do (usb-c is much smaller and has rounded sides, but not all Windows-computers have one). 
     
    The Windows-10 Photos-app has a very good Import-function which automatically finds the photo-folders on iPhone/iPad and which can remember what is done a month agoo so that only the new ones are copied. At connecting you must permit for datatransfer of course. 
     
    PS: on a Mac it seems more logical to me to use iCloud as a syncing connection between phone and computer. 


    Answer:

    Hi Rinus,
     
    >>>> I fully agree with you that using Google apps on Apple is not logical unless you already have a history at Google because your former phone was an ordinary Android :-)
     
    I really meant I don't recommend using both Google Drive and Google Photos at the same time.
    And actually, it is even more important to not use Google Photos and ~iCloud Photo Library~ simultaneously because they have different approaches to data management (and the differences can result in lost images). 
     
    Some other reasons people might prefer Google Photos is because friends or relatives use it for sharing, for integration with Gmail, to use Google Lens, or because Google has less expensive storage rates.
     
    >>>> Just a remark: a lighting cable (whatever that is :-) may not connect to a Windows-computer, but the normal charging cable with a standard rectangular usb-connector certainly will do
     
    Lightning cables are the proprietary charging (and data but less frequently used for this purpose) cable which ahs been used on the iPhone and most iPads for the last 8 years or so. There is a standard USB connector on one end and Lightning connector on the other.  Like you say, the USB will connect to most Windows computers.  https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MXLY2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-1-m
