Question: How do i know how many people have viewed my shared albums

Trying to see how many people have viewed my shared albums

Hi Wayne,

no data is available on how many users view a shared album. As a workaround you may check how many profile images there are in the album, i.e. how many people subscribed for updates to the album. You also get notifications when some of those users view any new photos you upload to the album.

but it'll be awesome if google finds a way to work that out, so that the album owner knows or at least have an idea as to who view their album and so on just like how the Social Medias shows the number of LIKES & who LIKED.

Answer:

I agree - I just want a view count for the album, also would be nice if photos had individual view counts so you could see which were most popular. i'm sure google knows on the backend

Answer:

Google often informs me how many views my photos for maps, etc have. just passed 2 million views. They told me my most viewed post was two years ago and they showed the photo.

Answer:

This functionality was available in the google plus days. You could at least get a count of how many total views of your google pages. (I was amazed when my total views started creeping into the millions, so I kept an eye on it for a while.) I am not certain how much drilling down was available because it was a few years ago and I just don't remember.

However, this was not a "photos" function; it was a google plus function that knew about your photos pages. The "new google plus" made it very hard to find and when google plus died, I think the functionality died with it.

Answer:

Hi William,

Picasaweb had a similar feature and could show the view counts of photos. You may send your suggestions and feedback to the Google Photos team as explained in these instructions https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6156065

I have been leaving a feedback at Google over and over telling them that Kristen and Samantha Heim are twins and they are understanding me. They keep thinking they are the same just because they look alike. Kristen has longer blonde hair and Samantha has shorter blonder hair.

Answer:

@Elaine

Face grouping is a fully automatic process. Because the twins look alike the algorithm obviously is not able to distinguish them. No one at Google is going to manually correct this (they claim to have 1 billion users!).

The good news is that they announced that manual tagging will be implemented. That should allow you to correct the mistakes. But it is not yet implemented. See here.

I have created a new Google Account to migrate my photos to, and found the easy way is to share my library with it. What happens when I delete the old account?

Answer:

Hi Alex,

As long as everything has migrated and you used "Add to Library" on the new account, nothing will happen to the new account when you delete the old one.

Do attempt some type of reconciliation, and check some videos if you have any. I have seen sharing a library of about 20,000 images take several days to complete (so don't rush.. better safe than sorry).

Hello there,

Welcome to the Google Photos Support Community.

If you've deleted them from Google Photos and want to restore them, please know that photos/videos deleted from the Google Photos library, goes to the Trash for the next 60 days. So, in case, you deleted it by mistake you can always restore it from Trash folder within those 60 days (post deletion). But, if you don't find it in Trash, probably it must have been deleted more that 60 days ago. Unfortunately, restoring your lost/deleted photos and videos from Trash is the last resort.

If no, please let me know. Also confirm the device you're using

Hi world, big trouble: I have a folder called Pictures on my PC. Well, I want it to be backup and sync with Google Photo only and NOT with Google Drive. Instead, it is backup and and sync in Google Drive and so all my space is full and not all the pictures are backup. How to avoid it and make the pictures to be updated ONLY in Google Photo? THANKS A BUNCH.

Answer:

Stefano,

Since Google disabled the "Desktop Uploader" the only way to upload to Google Photos ONLY is by uploading manually. That sounds worse than it is: I do it often by selecting the photos in Windows Explorer and dragging them to https://photos.google.com/ or into an album.

You can also use the UPLOAD button in https://photos.google.com/

I shared album 'A' through a shareable link with person 'A'. A few months later I shared album 'B' with some family members 'B', also through a shareable link . Person 'A' is not one of those family members.

Today, I have discovered that a member of family members 'B' has 'joined' album 'A'. There is no way he could have known the shareable link to album 'A', as he does not know person 'A'. The only way I can prevent him from viewing album 'A' is to unshare it, which I have since done.

1. Why can somebody view albums I have not authorised them to? Aren't the shareable links unique?

2. How do I know if person 'B' can view anything else?

3. How do I prevent this security breach from happening in the future?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Answer:

Why can somebody view albums I have not authorised them to? Aren't the shareable links unique?
The links are unique, but anyone with the link can view. You cannot prevent that. Google Photos does not know the concept of "authorisation". The question is how he/she got that link. How did you share ?
How do I know if person 'B' can view anything else?
You don't know, unless that person "joined" the album, but they can always view without joining or even in an incognito window.
How do I prevent this security breach from happening in the future?
Since we do not know how that person got that link, we don't know.

Answer:

Thank you janvb for your reply. In response to your reply to point 1, can person B still view album A and share the link with others even after I have 'unshared' it? Perhaps it would be better to delete album A outright?

Yes, I see that he 'joined' album A, and without me sending him the link. My worry is that I have other shared albums which I have not shared with him. He hasn't 'joined' those, but I guess you are saying that there's no way of knowing whether he has viewed them or not.

I do consider this a security breach, since if he has managed to view another album which I had not shared to him, he can potentially view all the albums I have, shared or not.

This is not a good system.

Answer:

"Can person B still view album A and share the link with others even after I have 'unshared' it? Perhaps it would be better to delete album A outright?

When you "unshared" the album, the link becomes obsolete and no one will be able to see the album anymore. There is no need to delete the album. Of course they may have downloaded the album or added the photos to their own Google Photos library, which means that they can still see them because they own a copy.

"I see that he 'joined' album A, and without me sending him the link. My worry is that I have other shared albums which I have not shared with him. He hasn't 'joined' those, but I guess you are saying that there's no way of knowing whether he has viewed them or not. "

I have no idea how he got the link. That's why I asked "How did you share?". Either someone must have given him the link, or the link must be published somewhere publicly. That can happen for example when you share to Google+ and do not change the default "Public" to a more limited group.

"He can potentially view all the albums I have, shared or not."

I don't think so. Some asked for this feature but it does not exist.

Answer:

Thanks for your clarification. I'm relieved to know that by unsharing album A, nobody in the future will be able to use that link, although I accept that if it is already downloaded onto person B's computer, there's not much I can do about it.

I also have no idea how person B got the link - he 'joined' album A as soon as he received the link for album B, which is why I wondered whether the links were not unique, or if they gave him access to all the albums.

As far as I know, I do not have Google+, and would not know how to publish it somewhere publicly. The link to album A was only ever sent in an email to person A, who has no relationship with person B.

Answer:

Hello Eric,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Support Community.

Please confirm if you're following the below steps to add partner account.

Add a partner account to share your photo library:

You can only share your photo library with one person at a time

On your computer, go to photos.google.com.
Sign in with your Google Account.
Click Menu Add partner account Get started.
Enter or select an email address. You can only invite someone with a Google Account.
Select which photos to add to your partner account.
- All photos: You can share all photos.
- Photos of specific people: You can select one or more face groups to share. Photos that match any of the selected face groups will be shared. Learn more about filtering by face groups.
- Only show photos since this day: Any photos whose dates come after the selected date will be shared. Learn more about filtering by date.
Click Next.
If everything looks right, click Send invitation.
Verify your identity and finish set up.
Optional: To see your partner's photos, ask them to share their library with you after they've accepted your invitation.

Filter by face groups:

Face grouping technology isn't perfect. Filtering by face groups may result in occasionally sharing photos that don't actually have any of the people you've selected.

If yes, try giving the below steps a try once again in a sequence to help resolve the issue:

Sign out and sign back in to Google Photos (photos.google.com) with the same Google Account.
Clear yourcookies and cache.
Try Incognito/private window.
Disable extensions/add-ons/plug-ins.
Try a different browser to see if it is a browser related issue.

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

I have 2 questions.

First question:

I want to free up space on my phone. All my photos on my phone have been backed up to Google Photos.

However, there are some albums in my Gallery which I still want to keep on my phone as I reference them a lot. The photos in these albums were moved (not copied) from the main Camera gallery, so this means there's only one single copy, unlike a duplicate using the 'copy' feature.

Now if I choose the option via Google Photos to "Free up space from device\

Answer:

In Google Photos there's no way to automatically have the local photos deleted from some folders/albums but not others. You would need to select the images and select "delete device copy". Alternately you could delete them all and redownload the ones you want to keep.

I'm not familiar with Samsung Cloud so can't answer that part, but if you have Google Backup and Sync enabled, the safest way to delete a photo from the device and not the Google Photos cloud is within the Google Photos app with the "delete device copy" option. I have no idea how this would affect the Samsung Cloud.

Hello Alfred,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Support Community.

I'll be happy to help. Are the photos in Google Photos? If yes, please confirm if you're referring to deleting photos and videos from Google Photos?

Remove photos and videos:

On your computer, go to photos.google.com.
Place your cursor over items you want to move to trash. At the top left, click Select . You can alsoselect multiple items.
At the top right, click Trash .
To permanently delete photos and videos, click Menu Trash select the photo or video Trash

Know where photos do and don't get removed from before you delete photos and videos in Google Photos:

Photos and videos you delete are also removed from:

photos.google.com and any synced devices
Google Photos albums
Google Photos movies when you edit them. Learn more about deleted photos in movies.
Google Drive, for photos and videos that are synced with Google Drive. Learn how Google Drive works with Google Photos.
Any shared albums you may have added them to.

Photos and videos you delete are not automatically removed from:

Blogger
YouTube
Gmail
Google+

Here's a help article to know more about deleting photos and videos in Google Photos. You would need to download all the content (photos and videos) to another storage device (like a phone, memory stick or SD card) from Google Photos, then delete them. Having done that, you can now move or transfer your photos back to Google Photos of the same account.

Google Photos backs up everything that's there in your device (Device/SD card storage). If all your photos are backed up from your Android device to Google Photos and you're trying to make some device space by deleting photos. 'Free up space' option in Google Photos is the best way out.

The 'Free up space' feature doesn't detect content on your external SD card. You may have to move them from the external SD card to your device and then perform the 'Free up space' action for everything to be cleared. Do this only if you're sure all the content in the SD card are backed up to Google Photos.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Amanda

Question: How to recover photos from damaged pixel phones

Searching for recovery software

Hello Malice,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Support Community.

Were the photos in your old phone backed up to Google Photos from your Pixel device before it was damaged? If yes, then you can always for them by logging on to photos.google.com with the same Google Account. It can be possible that the photos weren't uploaded successfully to Google Photos (cloud) and also make sure you're logged in to Google Photos with the same Google Account that you used during the backup. Photos/videos that are not synced or backed up, will still appear in Google Photos and will have this icon

(which means not synced/backed up) or some photos/videos will also show up with the two arrows in a circle mean backup is in progress.

Once the upload is complete there will be no icon on any photos/videos. Often, many of us misinterpret that they are all backed up because the photos/videos show up in Google Photos and we over see the icons on each photo/video. If the photos/videos weren't backed up they cannot be deleted from the Google Photos library nor Trash.

In case, you are uploading a large amount of data (photos/videos), please know that it might take 24-48 hours for the photos and videos to sync across all devices. Please ensure to have 'Backup & sync' enabled on the Google Photos settings while you're backing up your photos and videos. To check is the content is backed up, login in to photos.google.com to checked for your backed up photos and videos.

Answer:

If you select Recover Storage it will compress any photos that are taking up storage space on your account. Photos uploaded as part of the Pixel free original quality promo don't take up space, so they won't be compressed.

Answer:

Hello there,

Thanks for stopping by the Google Photos Support Community.

Please confirm which document are the photos in. For an upload the photos have to be available in the device gallery of your Android device. If they are in the device gallery and still unable to upload them, please check the below steps:

Open the Google Photos app on your mobile device .
At the bottom, tap Assistant .
Read the first card. If it says:

"Back up & sync is off": Tap "TURN ON" on the card to back up your device's photos and videos, including ones you capture in the future.
"A photo or video was skipped": A photo or video on your mobile device doesn't meet our uploadrequirements:

Photos can't exceed 75MB or 100 megapixels.
Videos can't exceed 10GB.

It does take approximately 24-48 hours for the photos and videos to sync across all devices. Please ensure to have 'Backup & sync' enabled on the Google Photos settings while you're backing up your photos and videos. It's possible that Google Photos is merely scanning your library for an upload too.

Keep me posted.

In other words, is Android offering to delete the same, exact files or just ones w the same file names (but which could be a higher or lower image quality as the ones in the cloud)? Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Answer:

Google Photos will delete any photos from your phone which are backed up to your Google account regardless of whether the cloud copy is of original quality or high quality, however all photos on Google Photos are the same resolution as the original image, just ones that you chose to upload in high quality are compressed to potentially lower MP (megapixels)

Answer:

I think I understand. Put another way, are you saying that for each Google photo on my device that is deleted in order to free up space, I can rest assured that there is an identical file already saved in Google Photos in the cloud?

Answer:

"Can I rest assured that there is an identical file already saved in Google Photos in the cloud?"

When you uploaded with setting "Original" in the Google Photos app on your phone, there is an identical file saved in Google Photos.
When you edit the photo in Google Photos, and then download, you still get a compressed JPEG, but the original remains available: 3-dots > Download original. You can download all edited AND original copies of photos in an album by using https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout .
