Hi Balraj,
To assist you better, could you please elaborate the post with a few more details and help me understand what is the exact issue so that I'll be able to address the issue with the best possible solution?
Incase, if you're referring to recover your photos deleted permanently from trash, unfortunately, there isn't any way to recover them.
However, still try checking the missing photos on Google Photos library. Incase, if you might have moved the photos to trash, it will not automatically removed from:
- Blogger
- YouTube
- Gmail
- Google+
If you don't find the photos, I'd recommend you look for your photos here, signing in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one:
- get.google.com/albumarchive
- drive.google.com (under Google Photos)
- other online photo or file storage services you use (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud).
I'd also recommend you contact the Google Drive support team as they can restore photos up to 21 days after deletion if the photos are available in the Google Drive. You can click the "Missing or deleted files" entry of the contact form and request a phone call or any other option that works for you.
Check out these handy Help Center articles for more information on how to "See if you can restore deleted photos & videos" and "Find missing photos & videos".
Keep me posted.

Sonya

Hello Anusha,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community.
Just to let you know that performing factory data reset doesn't delete the photos from the Google Photos if the photos are completely backup.
It looks like your photos and videos aren't backed up properly to your Google Photos account. However, could you please check if you're able to see the video on web (photos.google.com)? Also, ensure you are logged in to the correct Google account.
Please find this help center article on how to "Find missing photos & videos".

Answer:
@Mia B
I also experienced this in the past: a few (say not more than 5) photos were skipped for no obvious reason. They all uploaded when I tried again.
Note that you can either upload only the skipped files, or upload the whole batch again: already uploaded files are not uploaded again.
What happens when you try again ?
Answer:
Unfortunately they are still skipped. I've tried multiple times, sometimes only uploading the skipped ones works. However it becomes cumbersome when you load 100 pictures and only 1 is skipped. It does not say which ones are skipped.
Answer:
@Mia B
"It does not say which ones are skipped."
I remember that it did when I got skipped photos. That allowed to re-upload only the skipped ones.
How did you upload ? Manually using the Upload button ? Or by Drag & Drop ?
"It becomes cumbersome when you load 100 pictures and only 1 is skipped."
As said, you can also simply re-upload all 100. Only the skipped ones should be uploaded.
Also note that duplicates are not uploaded again (unless modified after the first upload). I always upload directly to an album. Already uploaded photos are not uploaded again (= are skipped) but will be added to the album.
Answer:
@janvb
"I remember that it did when I got skipped photos. That allowed to re-upload only the skipped ones."
I've had the notification only once, for the other times it merely lowered the amount of uploaded pictures with no warning or whatsoever. (e.g. 170 photos were selected, notification says: 150 uploaded)
"How did you upload ? Manually using the Upload button ? Or by Drag & Drop ?"
I've tried both, but it had the same result.
"As said, you can also simply re-upload all 100. Only the skipped ones should be uploaded.
Also note that duplicates are not uploaded again (unless modified after the first upload). I always upload directly to an album. Already uploaded photos are not uploaded again (= are skipped) but will be added to the album."
Yes i understand that. What I meant was that sometimes uploading the skipped ones worked. But that isn't a very efficient solution for me as sometimes out of the 100 only 1 is skipped.
Answer:
I found out that due to duplication (regardless of other names) caused it to skip. I had not realized some of my pictures were named differently but were essentially the same pictures.
Everything makes sense now. Thanks for your help.
Answer:
@Mia
Thanks for letting us know. I am glad that the issue is solved. Photos edited after the first upload will upload again, but when a photo is ONLY renamed it is still considered a duplicate and will be skipped.

Hello Arie,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community.
I see that a video from Google Drive isn't sync to the Google Photos. Could you please try toggle the "Google Drive" option by following the below steps:
- On your Android device, open the Google Photos app
.
- At the top, tap Menu
Settings.
- Turn on Google Drive.
Also, on web browser, try navigating to photos.google.com and then click on the menu icon in the upper left hand corner, then settings. From there, enable the Google Drive option to have your Google drive photos and videos appear in your google photos library.
Just a heads up: If your account is through work, school, or other groups, you won't be able to turn this setting on. If you edit photos in Google Photos, those changes will not show in Google Drive.
Let me know if this helps.

- Items smaller than 256 x 256.
- File types that can be backed up:
- Photos: .jpg, .png, .webp and some RAW files.

Answer:
Hello Θανάσης Σιαμίδης,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community.
It would be great if you can share a screenshot where you see this 64gb of free space. Please ensure to hide/blur any personal photos/information on the screen shot that you share. Also, let me know what is your storage plan?
Meanwhile, just to let you know that Google Drive Storage is segregated to other Google products such as Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos. May be the storage space shows full, as this might be occupied by other two Google products. To verify please go through this link and check if the other Google Apps are eating space.
Keep me posted.

Do not expect a reply or a change any time soon (if ever). It is more like voting and there are many features asked for much more frequently, but still not implemented.
Google Drive has the possibility to share with specific users. When you use Backup & Sync the folders on your computer are mirrored in Google Drive.

3. Try clearing your app data which is the same as uninstalling and reinstalling the app. After you clear your data, sign in and turn "back up & sync" on again.Open your device's Settings app (not the Google Settings app).

This option is not available anymore since July - don't understand why the option is still present in your Google Photos app on Android, because I don't see it anymore. My version is 4.25.0 etc.
But in photos.google.com on laptop there is a new option under the UPLOAD-button for Drive.
See this link
Then you also have the advantage that you can create an album immediately.

@Bayzid Hassan Fahim,
If you are using an old version of Google Photos the setting may still be there but as you see, no longer works.

unfortunately there is no Add to album with Upload from Drive. A very sad omission which I have left feedback about.

But one can view and select the uploaded pics immediately for adding to an album.

One issue with that is if there are some previously uploaded photos in the batch they will not be visible by their upload date. Upload from computer makes up for that by allowing the full batch to be added to an album.

unfortunately there is no Add to album with Upload from Drive. A very sad omission which I have left feedback about.

The dates are correct on the website and in the respective albums. But not in the app where all photos are displayed. Is there any way to solve this issue ? Will it remain like this forever or can it be solved. Please update.
Answer:
Hi Jahanvi Chamria,
The photos can usually be re-synced by signing out and signing in again on the Android app.
- tap the 3 bar menu at the top left of the photos page
- tap your email address and select Remove active account
- login again making sure you are using the same email you are using online
- check that the Backup & sync settings are correct
- wait until getting photos finishes, could take a while, please wait until it completes

Peter

The settings option to sync Google Photos with Google Drive is turned off for all my devices. However, it seems that this is not the case since pictures in Google Drive get deleted when I delete a picture in Google Photos, even when the pictures have been separately downloaded, unzipped, and saved in Google Drive.
This is really horrible! Please send me an email back to me to resolve this issue.

Hi Peter! Thanks for your reply and the workaround tip!
Answer:
Sorry Daniel, the only path to the developers is via feedback. We have a bug submitting process, but single user issues do not immediately qualify, or to put it another way, the priority would be so low that it would not get looked at. The process dictates that it is a widespread issue which is causing problems for many users.

Answer:
Hello Daniel, we need a bit more detail about how you are using Google Drive and Google Photos.
How are you uploading to Google Drive
How does the photo get into Google Photos
Why do you need it in both places
Please advise and I will try to explain what is happening,

Answer:
Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your reply!
I am syncing the photos that I take with my Google Pixel with Google Photos. That way, I always have the pictures backed up in the cloud, and can look at them on my computer instantly as well.
Next to this, I am using Google Drive for my projects. I have 'Backup and sync' installed on my laptop so that it syncs the specified folders I want to Google Drive.
I do not have the need to sync the pictures I took with my phone in Google Photos since I like to keep my projects separate from my everyday pictures. This is why I disabled "sync from Google Photos to Google Drive".
However, sometimes I do take pictures that I want to use for my projects. In that case, I download the synced pictures from the web version of Google Photos to my computer. Unpack the zip file. Then place the pictures in a project folder which is synced to Google Drive.
In theory, the pictures in Google Drive should now be a copy of the pictures in Google Photos. HOWEVER, whenever I delete a picture in Google Photos, the same picture gets deleted in Google Drive (and visa vers) even with the Google Photos to Google drive sync option turned off!
Hadn't I found out about it, I would have lost many project pictures. My idea was to delete them from Google Photos to not have them mixed with my everyday pictures, since they should have been copied to Google Drive.
Tl;dr:
-Using Google Photos for everyday pictures
-Using Google Drive for projects
-Google Photos to Google Drive sync is turned off.
-When downloading Google Photos pictures from the web, unzipping them, and saving them into a Google Drive synced folder, then strangely enough the picture in Google Drive will be deleted if I delete the same picture in Google Photos (and visa versa).
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards,
Daniel

The only option is to delete the Google Photos copy before unzipping the downloaded zip folder
Answer:
Hi Peter! Thanks for your reply and the workaround tip!
So I understand this might be a bug, since this should not be happening?
I already sent the situation as 'feedback', but I am not sure if Google will fix this issue soon.. Is there some way that this could be told to the Google developers?

There may be an option to pursue it via Google One 1:1 support if you are a subscriber, but bug or working as intended would be a debate. Your workflow is not usual, and others may have a workflow where the situation would be beneficial.

You can delete a shared photo from Sharing section of the Google Photos app. Here's how:
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
.
- From the bottom panel, tap on Sharing option from the menu list.
- Locate the photo shared to the wrong person and then tap on more icon (3 vertical dots) at the top right corner.
- Finally, select delete album.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Ricky

Question: January1-1-2017

Hi there,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community!
Just to confirm, are you referring to recover deleted photos from Google Photos? If so, I'd suggest you follow the below mentioned steps to restore photos in Google Photos:
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
.
- At the top left, tap Menu
Trash
.
- Touch and hold the photo or video you want to recover.
- At the bottom, tap Restore. The photo or video will be back:
- In your phone
- Into the "Photos" section of the app.
- Into any albums it was in.
Besides, I'd want you to know that if you've deleted the photos permanently from the trash section of Google Photos, then there isn't an option to recover them back. If something isn't in your trash, it can't be restored. You won't be able to restore a photo if:
- The photo or video has been in trash for more than 60 days.
- You deleted it, then emptied your trash
- You permanently deleted it from your trash
You may want to check out this Help Center article for more information on restoring photos in Google Photos.
If you're referring to something with regard to Google Photos, please write back with more information so that I can look into it and try to assist you further.
Best,
Ricky

Wim,
Do you mean "sorting by name in an album" ?
This has been asked many times but the Photos team does not seem to see the need. Since Picasaweb has been disabled we have to use all kinds of work-arounds. You find some here.

Are you talking about a book already printed and delivered?
Then you should complain at the printservice.
Or are you designing one?
You only can choose from 3 cuts: a broad one on top, a small square crop in centre or a square crop filling the whole front. If not suitable, you need to select another picture which may be more suitable.
