Answer:

"Note: You can't sync your photos and videos if you use your account through work or school."<-- could be a little more clear, and as other's here who are admins/managers have said, this is really an end-user blow-off, not really information for someone managing a domain.

Question: How to link faces to contacts?

Link photos

It is not clear if you are talking about faces in your Picasa-desktopsoftware or faces in your Google Photos app on Android. Maybe the same persons, but there technically is no relation between Picasa-faces and Photos-faces.

I want to recover my deleted photos

Hi rahul pandey 7267!
You can check the Trash in Photos https://photos.google.com/trash 👈 
or Trash in your device.

Unfortunately, if you deleted your photos from Trash, they cannot be returned, they are permanently deleted.

For Android:
There is a possibility to find apps in the Play Store that can recover files from Storage to your devices. You can enter a search query and find such apps / programs.

Hello Aravindhan, photos get added by date taken to your library. Please make sure you're scrolling down to the correct date on which the photo was taken.
 
If you want to see photos sorted by date added, click on the link below on the web:


Answer:

Hi jai prakash,

When you add photos to your library, if a photo has an older date in the file info you won't find it at the top of your photo stream. You can find the most recent thing you've uploaded at this link.

You can also find your most recently uploaded photos/videos on the Google Photos Website by following my GIF below.

I used my google accounts on two mobile devices, my smartphone and tablet. Recently I was experiencing some issues with backing up and syncing of photos between the Photos website and app.
I tried this solution:
  1. Open Play Store and locate the Photos app
  2. Uninstall, on newer builds this will uninstall updates back to the factory loaded version
  3. using the 3 dot menu disable auto update
  4. Open photos and test to see if it performs as it should, there may be some differences in layout and settings which can be ignored for now.
  5. return to Play Store and reinstall (updates)
  6. re-enable auto update if required

This solution worked in my tablet but doesn't work for my smartphone. The app in my smartphone just shows it's loading with the message 'Getting photos'. Any idea why? I greatly appreciate your help in this matter.

I put in a 128 G sd card but did not format it it is working as a removable storage but with out me formatting it I don't think it's partitioned.
Seems like everything is going in to one big file it showed a number of 3746 pictures.

Answer:

Hello, Ricky Cokeley

Welcome to the Google Photos Community Support forum & thanks for your query here.

SD cards are usually pre-formatted. 

However, sometimes the card can contain adware or malware
Formatting ensures we start in a clean state.
Further, formatting provides some more useful options like making the card emulate internal memory etc.
that's why it's essential to format an SD card before use.

Question: How many copies of my photos do I have...?

Long before I set up and started my automatically backed up Google Photos account (which is synced to my phone), I had uploaded a shared folder for my family to share photos of a trip. 

The trip folder is stored in my Google Drive and has multiple photo folders in it contributed from different family members.

When I activated my Google Photos account, MY photos (not my family's photos) from that trip showed up in Google Photos (even though they are not on my phone - new phone) .

So... do I have two copies of my travel photos? Or are they linked somehow between the two locations in that if I delete the folder, they will also disappear?  Can I now delete my photos in the shared folder, and will they still stay in Google photos?  If I edit a photo in Google photos, will it be affected in the Google Drive folder or are they completely separate files?  Are the photos in Google Drive shared album affecting my space?  As I have the unlimited photo storage option in Google Photos.  

Thanks.

Answer:

Hi Christina, it is likely that all the photos uploaded to Drive are using quota and the photos you 'see' in Google Photos are just like looking through a window into Drive, activated by the Photos setting. We would need to analyse it a bit more but I am just about finished for today.  Check the setting in https://photos.google.com/settings to see if the Sync Drive Photos is enabled, if it is toggle it off to see if the photos disappear from Google Photos and we can continue tomorrow, Regards, Peter

Answer:

Thanks for your reply.  Yes, the sync drive option is turned on.  When I turned it off, they disappeared from Google Photos!  So I'm guessing it's just a linked connection that I should manually move over?  If I'm correct, any tips on how to do that efficiently?

As I said, ideally, I would like to keep my photos on Google Photos and delete them off the drive, and regain my space back.  I would also like to take my favourites from my family and keep them on Google Photos.


Answer:

Hi Christina, if you follow the steps below your photos will be quite safe.
1. In Google Photos select the trip photos and add them to an album.  This will create a copy on Google Photos which will not be deleted when you delete the Drive copies.
2. Turn off the option to sync Google Drive photos to Google Photos and check that the newly created album is still safe with your photos in it and visible in Google Photos
3. In Google Drive, right click the trip folder and Download to your computer.  This is a security copy to keep as a backup.
4. In Google Drive right click the trip folder and Remove, go into Drive trash and empty trash
Good luck, Peter


Answer:

Thanks PeteranDi. That sounds really simple. I'll try it soon, when I have some time. 

Do you suggest having a back-up apart from google photos?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive.  I suppose it's a good idea to put everything on an external drive...


Answer:

I keep all my originals on 64GB jump drive in a fireproof safe in addition to external disk and spread over numerous cloud services, dropbox, onedrive and others. You can't have too many.

While looking at the app this morning, I had a notification that an animation had been created from one of my videos. The issue being I didn't actually video anything. My phone was simply in my hand at the time. 

Does the Google Photos App record videos without you knowing??

Answer:

The animation in question was definitely taken from my phone. I can see my legs in it from where I was sat. 

I did not record anything at the time. I have no photos or videos for a good hour either side of this "animation taken from video".


Answer:

It could be a video that you took by mistake while taking a photo, it happens.

The app itself definitely doesn't do it on its own.
