Google photo QA: I would like to secure a photo file from everyone but me

Question: I would like to secure a photo file from everyone but me

I don't want anyone getting in this one file

@Rodney

If nobody has access to your phone (and computer), nobody has access to your photos.

But to avoid accidental viewing the sensitive ones simply can be hided by archiving.

Else you may install the Google Files app which has a secure folder.

But then you need to follow a special procedure to get them removed from Google without loosing the original files on phone.

Question: How do I move videos to sd card to free up storage space on my phone?

Free up storage space by moving videos to SD card

@Audrey

When backupped at Google, there is no reason to move - they just can be deleted to make space unless you want to keep the original files. That can be done via the Google Files app (deletions also).

Always wise to check at photos.google.com if your files are backupped safely.

Good luck

Question: how to recover permanently deleted google photo

i want to recover my permanently deleted google photos

Hi SamuelRamya,

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 (be sure to pick one that doesn't require rooting) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps and run a scan for anything to recover.

Hi Dayauna,

Google Photos doesn't unfortunally support controlling the playback speed of animations. As a workaround you may use a third-party app for making and editing animations.

Folks - which directories is google photos able to show photos from and also which directories does it automatically back up? Is it strictly the DCIM folder or sub-folders within that or some other folders are also able to show up in google photos for me to edit and back up manually?

Thanks

Answer:

@Dekta

Apart from the Camera-folder under Pictures on device on the Library-page, you may see some other folders and it is up-to-you if you include them in automatic backupping or manually and selective.

If the general setting is off, then the Camera-folder is not automatically backupped either.

But its contents always is shown on the Photos-page.

PS: "Camera" is wrong naming - it should have been DCIM, but that is too complicated for the folks :-)

Answer:

Is it possible to copy some photos into DCIM folder and have google photos show them? I'm trying to make a video using photos I took from my Sony camera and some pixel photos which are already there

Answer:

Never tried, but I don't think you can connect your normal camera to your Pixel. Besides the DCIM-folder is reserves for internal affairs - then you should select the main Pictures-folder.

But that is not needed at all, assuming you have a computer. When you connect your camar with the computer and switch it on, you can open the filemanager. Then open photos.google.com and log-in with your Google-account and then choose Upload and search the sd-card of the camera to be able to select the right group of pictures. Then click Open and they will get uploaded to Google Photos and then make an album immediately to have them together. And then you also can add the relevant Pixel-photos to that album to be able to sort them in the right order for the movie.

Answer:

somehow when i do it that route i cannot make a video with the pics. I can only make a video with pictures that are actually locally stored on my phone and show up in google photos

Answer:

You did not tell that - then I only can guess that the Pixel-photos are not backupped yet. The video is created in cloud, unless you are working with some third party video-creator - such apps need local files.

Answer:

It's actually google photos that isn't allowing me to choose files that I uploaded through the computer for the video creation. I'm creating the video using google photos itself (not a 3rd party app)

Answer:

That's very abnormal and maybe due an older device with too less free space for good operation.

Furtheron: only 50 items maybe selected at max and pictures only.

That's all we know from Google and I have too less experience with such features.

Maybe another volonteers jumps-in with a good tip.

PS: I don't like the result either because the movie is vertical while it should be horizontal.

Question: Please back up permanently delete photo

Misse my photos I went see

Hello User,

Please review the following information in case there are any options you haven't yet tried.

1. Check your online account - photos.google.com

If your photos were successfully uploaded to your online Google Photos account they may be available there. Try visiting photos.google.com and searching for them. If you have more than on

Community Console Google Photos

2. Check the trash - photos.google.com/trash

Once you delete photos from your Google Photos account, they're moved to Trash for the next 60 days. If you deleted them by mistake you can always restore them from the Trash folder within those 60 days. Here's the link explaining how to recover them from Trash. If you have more than one Google account, check the trash for all of them.

If you accessed the Trash and manually sent the photos for permanent deletion, or if the 60 days expired, there is no way to recover them from Google Photos.

3. Review other options

if you previously used Picasa, visit picasaweb.google.com and search for your photos.
have you made any backups of the photos on your phone, camera, computer, or elsewhere?
there is a small chance that you can restore the photos using a recover deleted photos app (Android). I haven't used them myself so have no specific recommendations. There may well be more app options if you visit the appropriate app store and try other search terms. I don't see any similar apps on the iOS store, but you could check yourself.
you can contact the Google Drive support team to see if any deleted files may be recovered. Use the Google Drive contact form, click Missing or deleted files, select a contact option, and be sure to tell them you permanently deleted files in Google Drive.
If you ever shared the photos with anyone else, it's possible they may have a copy they could share back or send to you.

Thanks.

Hi Aditya,

Can you see the photos on the https://photos.google.com website?

Hello Karthik,

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.
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app .
At the bottom, tap Library Trash .
Touch and hold the photo or video you want to restore.
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:

Learn how to find your photos

Delete & restore your photos & videos

Restore recently deleted or archived items

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.

Question: A lot of photos are missing which I have backed up... Not all photos are displayed eithe

My photos are missing from may to October. The last photos are not opening either

Hi, Debasish Kar

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

Had you backed up really happened?

Can you please verify that by visiting the link https://photos.google.com ?

Enter the link in any browser on your phone & then log into your Google account to view the photos backed up on Cloud.

If you do not find anything, then there are two possibilities.

Either, the items have moved to the bin.

The Bin icon

becomes visible through the library view in the phone app.

Tap on the icon & then restore everything visible there.

Or, your backup was incomplete, so nothing got uploaded to the cloud.

The Google Photos app acts like a portal viewer showing everything from our phone and also the content backed up to the cloud,

Then, that creates a impression of everything getting backed up perfectly.

However, we need to check the status of backup periodically and look for the messages on "Backup and Sync" menu.

Further, we have to ensure every folder on our device is included in the backup & none shows a cloud symbol with slash.

If nothing was backed up to the cloud in the first place, regretfully, there is no way to recover those pics through Google Photos.

Answer:

Actually I have transferred some photos from one account to another of mine. All the photos are backed up perfectly as I have wifi and the phone is connected always. From may to October my photos are missing

Answer:

Hi, Debasish Kar

Thanks for your reply

However, we can't conclude whether backup is happening perfectly or not unless we see the pics through the weblink.

When you transferred the pics from one account to another, did you delete those from the source account? Then the sync action must have removed those from the synced device also.

Answer:

Hi, Debasish Kar

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

Your delete action must have happened in distant past.

Now there is no way to recover those deleted pics.

Additionally, can you try to do so through another route? Please enter the link https://photos.google.com in any of the web browsers available on your phone. Log into your account & then see whether the photos become visible.

Answer:

Hi, Debasish Kar

Thanks for your reply

First, did you visit the weblink?

Next, nothing gets removed through Google Photos without any user initiated action.

Can you please recollect what actions you took before the pics vanished?

Answer:

Hi, Debasish Kar

Thanks for your reply

I suggest, you clear the cached & stored data of the Google Photos app first.

I want to recover my video which is deleted permanently few minutes ago accidentally nd I need them …

Hi Bijender,

I’m sorry, it’s not possible to recover videos permanently deleted from the Google Photos Trash. However, you may install to your Android device a deleted video recovery app (be sure to pick one that doesn't require rooting) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20videos&c=apps and run a scan for anything to recover.
