Question: How do i unlink someone

How do I un link someone

Hi April,

Welcome to the Google Photos Product Help Forum!

>>>> How do I un link someone

Look in the "Sharing" section of the app or https://photos.google.com/u/0/sharing

If you see a "Shared library" entry near the top of of the list, it is most important. Click on it, navigate to Shared Library Settings and "Remove partner"..

If you see shared Albums, you can navigate to "Options" from the 3 dot menu and Turn Off sharing if it is okay to disable it for everybody (this is probably the most straightforward and safest).

You could also Block his user by navigating to his photo and "Block user" from the 3 dot menu. This MIGHT also block him in Hangouts (if you still are occasionally in touch). More info:

Block someone in Google Photos

Good luck and have a good weekend!

Hi Billie,

Welcome to the Google Photos Product Help Forum!

>>> I have taken the photos several times and have been unable to upload them

If you are using a camera, typically you plug the SD card into your computer (or connnect via a cable or wifi) and "Upload" from the top of the page at https://photos.google.com/u/0/

If you are using a smartphone, you install and configure the Google Photos app.

Good luck and have a good weekend!

I have waited for a week for about 500 photos to upload from my iPhone 6 with a moderately strong wireless signal. Google photos will say the backup is complete, but upon reopening the app, it will begin the upload process again, which generally goes very slowly. The folder in Assistant also consistently shows un-uploaded photos. At this point, I am down to about 21 that still will not upload. I have deinstalled and reinstalled the Google Photos app. I have attempted to upload the photos manually. I have restarted the phone. Any other help would be appreciated.

No matter what I do my images and videos will not sync. At the top of the screen it says to connect power and that there are 81 photos to back up, which is what it has said for days even though the device has been on a charger, the number of photos needing to be synced hasn't changed.

I have force stopped and cleared data with both the photos app and Google play services and have even uninstalled and reinstalled the photos app.

I've checked all my syncing settings to ensure that WiFi and mobile data are selected and made sure the correct account is set. My phone isn't even liw in charge. It's presently at 80%

Welcome to Google Photos Product Help Forum. This post is focused solely on Google Photos, I will make separate brief one on other topics.

>>>> How can I migrate all my photos and videos from old Google photo account to my Google photo account

There are several ways to do this.

Shared Libraries is probably easiest. This process can take a number of days and it is possible that this feature is not enabled by your school, so start early and if you have problems pursue one of the approaches mentioned at the end of this post.

Here's a help article for more information on 'Share your Google Photos library with a partner'. In your case you will be your own partner in a different account.

Do some reasonableness tests on the number of images in both accounts before and after. You can do this by selecting all the images in "Photos" or looking that the count of Photos for "Photos" here https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard (the Album count is meaningless).

Make sure that you set "Save to library" for all images on the target account.

Note: Shared Libraries transfer the images not the albums, you can share and recreate the albums if you desire.

Don't delete the images in the old account for a week after you thing the transfer is done. Check the resolution on some sample videos (via the Information Panel "i" icon) before the deleting the old photos. If you have any images which you would be heartbroken if you lost, make sure that you store them in more than one format / tool.

Answer:

Hi Andre,

Some other comments.

I assume that you have some compelling reason to change your Gmail account. I have seen some people think they had to because they got a new phone (and that is definitely not ). There is effort and risk when you do this.

You MIGHT want to review the categories of data that you might have forgotten about by looking at https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout and doing an extract if you are not sure. You don't need to do this for photos unless you want a separate backup (which might be a good idea but could result in multiple files and a lot of space). Don't forget about thing like files which you might have in: https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive

This slightly old article seems to imply that you can export and import contacts on an Android device (I have never done this on a phone but have done similar things multiples times on a Windows Computer).

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-migrate-contacts-to-a-different-google-account-on-your-android-device/

If you have trouble with migrating data for other products you might try its support forum at:

https://support.google.com/

For example, if you have problems with Contacts: https://support.google.com/mail/

Go slow, build checks into your work, don't delete your old account until you have used your new account for awhile.

Good luck and have a good weekend! Dougsap (volunteer Google Photos user)

Answer:

Dougsap,

Thank you for your quick response, My wife changed her last name to my last name and I created a new gmail account for her to matches her new full name, That's why I'm looking into migrating everything from her old gmail account to the new one.

Ill try the suggested methods and I'll let you know if I encounter any problems..

Thank you

Answer:

Hi Andre,

It's up to you and your wife, but changing the ~Send as~ Name in Gmail (and possibly some similar settings in other Google Products, like Youtube) is probably a lot easier (this does not change the email address but rather the name shown in the email).

Using this strange side because it is detailed (the actual screen format may be a little different but it seems correct based on quick testing)

Question: I want recover my parmanantly deleted photos from Google drive

I want recover my parmanatly deleted photos from Google drive

Hi Praveen,

I’m sorry, it’s not possible to recover photos permanently deleted from the Google Photos Trash. However, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps and run a scan for anything to recover.

In addition I recommend that you contact the Google Drive support team to see if any deleted files may be recovered. Just open the Google Drive https://support.google.com/drive/?hl=en&authuser=0#topic=14940&contact=1 contact form, click Missing or deleted files, select a contact option, and be sure to tell them you permanently deleted files in Google Drive.

Hi Gwen,

what do the photos look like on the https://photos.google.com website using a computer?

Permanently deleted usually means forever since that is what permanent means, However, its a long shot, but if not deleted too long ago you can try using the steps outline here.

Hi Kane,

Thanks for reaching the Google Photos Help Community.

I think it's just a UI update, and you don't have to be worried about that.

By the way, it's the first time I'm seeing such a report.

Let me know how it goes!

Question: my 2017 to may 2018 photos missing plz recover

plz find my pic

Hi megha 94,

I recommend that you look for your photos here, signing in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one:

photos.google.com
photos.google.com/archive
photos.google.com/trash
get.google.com/albumarchive
drive.google.com
other online photo or file storage services you use (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon)

I also recommend that you go through these steps for troubleshooting missing photos https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6306652

I use google drive to organise my photos. I have an android phone with google photos. Until Mid April any photo I took with my phone appeared in my drive (and still does). I also use other cameras and uploaded photos I wanted by dragging these to google drive to upload. These would then appear on my phone app and naturally in google photos

However since mid April only photos that I have taken on my phone appear in google photos. If I upload any other photo in to google drive it does not get synced with Google photos. If I download and save a photo to my hard drive (taken with the phone) and then delete it in google photos on my phone it disappears from google drive as it should. I can then upload it again to google drive and see it as normal BUT it doesn't get backed up to google photos. I did this as a test to see if the file properties were causing an issue.

I am at a loss. I didn't change any settings it just stopped working. I have attempted many times to turn off backup and sync and start it again. My historic photos (pre Mid April 2018) taken with other devices i.e. DSLR camera that I uploaded to Google Drive and that were originally backed up in Google photos still remain visible in Google photos.

Any help greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad trying to sort it out.

Thanks

Nick

Answer:

Hi Nick, the sync of uploaded photos to an existing folder in the Google Photos folder has stopped working. We have submitted a bug report to Google and await a response. In the mean time, you can work round the problem by creating a new folder and moving your uploaded photos to it.

Regards,

Peter

Answer:

Hi Peter

Many many thanks for this. I've created a folder for missing photos and all is working fine now.

Here's hoping our thread comes up in searches for others experiencing this issue. It was driving me nuts!

Thanks again

Nick

I have existing albums on Google (created from back in the Picasa days) that I want to view on my iOS devices. Google seems to be pushing me now to use the Google Photos app to view my Google albums (after having first pushed me from Picasa to Google+). However, I do NOT want to give Google Photos access to my phone's camera roll. I just want to view my existing Google albums, but the Google Photos app will not allow me to even launch the app unless I give it access to the camera roll. At this point my choices seem to be, use the Google Photos iOS app and give in to Google by allowing it to have access to my camera roll, or use a web browser on iOS. Is that right?
