Hi Nelson Gelardi,
I'm sorry but as this is a forum just for answering questions about Google Photos we're unable to answer your question. You'd be better off finding a Facebook forum as they'll be able to give you a better answer than we can.

Here's my situation:
— I have had Google Photos with no issues for the last ~2 years
— Backup and sync is off on my iPhone, and has always been off
— As of last week, all of my photos are being uploaded to Google Photos, which I discovered because the Assistant suddenly started going crazy, making hundreds of videos an animations per day from photos I never uploaded
— The iPhone photos do appear in my web-based Google Photos account, so it seems like they are uploading and syncing
— My Google Drive / Gmail accounts are full and I can no longer use them or send emails
Any help would be much appreciated!

Question: Can i sync an album in photos to drive?
sync a google photos album to google drive
Hello Carol, you can display your Google Photos in Drive by going to Drive settings and enabling Google Photos Auto Add. This would automatically put Google Photos into a folder in Drive.
Answer:
But why you need to share via Drive and not directly via Photos?
Just tell us because there maybe a better solution or just a wrong idea?

My photo drive is empty yet it says i have used well over 7gb of space. This has been like it for weeks and I would like the correct amount to be displayed.
Answer:
Hello Joe,
Head over to https://one.google.com/storage/management and check if the storage is in any of the trash places, or large files in Gmail, Drive & Photos, or just below in Unsupported videos. This should give a clue on where the storage is being used.
Up until the 31st May you can Recover storage at https://photos.google.com/settings to reduce the storage used by Google Photos to zero.
From June 1st new HQ uploads will use storage at a reduced size, HQ upload before June 1st remain free

Peter

Answer:
Jack, I'm pretty sure the answer is No - photos taken by Google Keep, or chosen for Google Keep do not take up storage allotment in Drive. I can't find any official documentation for this, but I would consider it akin to the fact that documents created by Google Docs or Spreadsheets created by Google Sheets do not take up storage.

Hello valerie,
Free unlimited applies to High Quality uploads until June 2021 for everyone, no need to pay.
Nothing happens on June 1st all photos already uploaded in High Quality remain free forever
Storage can be reduced to 0bytes anytime up to 31st May by going to Settings - Google Photos - Tap here
and using the Recover storage option.
Photos uploaded in High Quality after June 1st count against the free 15GB allowance at reduced MB

Hi Sumeet,
The algorithms Google Photos uses to compress photos and videos to High Quality are irreversible and can't be undone. Therefore, if you compress some photos or videos without keeping separate copies of the originals, you won't be able to download the originals.
Prior to compressing any photos or videos with Google Photos, be sure to make copies and keep them stored elsewhere other than in Google Photos or storage space Google Photos can access.

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.

Answer:
Hello Nate, how were those old photos uploaded to your Google Drive? Was it through Google Photos or through Google Drive?
If it was through Google Drive, then go to Google Photos settings and enable Google Drive. This would display your Google Drive photos in Google Photos.
Answer:
Nate has used the Google Photos folder for uploading old stuff, while that (optional) folder only is meant to be used by Google for shwoing what is uploaded to Google Photos directly - either via the smartphone app or via some desktop app.
So switching-on the option to show Google Drive in Photos will not help him, because that folder is excluded by that option. So he has to move the contents to a folder created outside the GP-folder, bt only the old contents.

Hello,
I would like to know if sharing pictures by link to other apps (like WatsApp for example) will occupy space in my Google account. Note: these are pictures stored only in my phone. And, I have auto backup turned off!
Where this pictures will be stored (online) after all?
Hidden somewhere in my account?
This counts also for my quota?
Thank you.

Answer:
Hi Jorge,
Would you like to share the photos by link from Google Photos to some other app? Or from another app to Google Photos?
In general, sharing by link doesn't take up additional storage space. When the app or platform that holds the photos shares by link, it creates a way for accessing the shared photos, it doesn't make copies of those photos.

Answer:
Hello Paolo,
Thank you for your help.
Yes, sharing photos by link from G photos to other apps.
My situation is, I use G photos as my photos only program. I don't even use the pre installed app that came with the phone...
So, my doubt is, if I share by link photos that I have ONLY in the phone memory, by link using G photos, will this action counts to my Google quota?
Notice that I don't even have auto backup on!
Of course I know, that the photos that I already have in my albuns inside G photos, these ones are occupying quota. I know...
I mean the ones that are only on my phone memory and I share by link inside the Gphotos to other apps.

Answer:
Hi again Jorge, I have looked into this. If you share by link some photos that are only in the phone memory Google Photos uploads them online to your photo library. So it does take up space in your account according to your upload quality settings.

Answer:
Thank you Paolo,
I think I got it.
The thing is, the link only works as long we have the photos in the memory's phone.
But them, this raises another question: during this time, is occupying online quota? Or this only happens if I put the pictures / videos inside an online gallery?
...but if I only share them without put them in any of my photo galleries?
I have photo galleries online created by me, this ones I know they are occupying quota, for example:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/GghZEsY3ZKtzNmoJA
My doubt is only about the ones that I share by link and only from my phone's memory and without place them in any of my photo galleries.
For example:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/HaX8T4Xzjw4oxuww6
This one is ONLY in my phone's memory.
Not in any of my online galleries created by me.
If I deleted it the link says that the gallery is empty. I think that's the point: Wich gallery?...
Not a problem but again: it's occupying my G photos quota this way or not?
Best regards and I appreciated all the support
Answer:
I did some tests with images stored only in the memory of a mobile device.
If I share them by link Google Photos uploads the photos to my library, makes an album that contains them, and returns the URL of the album. Now the photos occupy online quota. As soon as I remove the photos from the device, the online copies are removed and they no longer occupy online quota.
There's a possible source of confusion. Also when you share a single photo by link, Google Photos makes a new album (likely what you call a gallery) containing just that photo, even if you don't explicicly create anl album.
Albums are just containers that don't take up space. What takes up space is media, i.e. any photos or videos the album contains.

Answer:
Yes, lately I've noticed that these photos go to an (temporary) album...
But in my case, I cannot see this album. (Albums)
It must be some preference deactivated, maybe.
Anyway, thanks again for the support.
Take care!

Answer:
Hi, Chelsea May
Thanks for your query.
You can add a person through the following steps.
Tap to open the photo which contains unidentified faces & then slide up or tap the three dots.
If the app had failed to include some faces in that picture, then you will see a prompt "XX faces available to add".
Here is a screenshot of one such suggestion
If the app had failed to include some faces in that picture, then you will see a prompt "XX faces available to add".
Here is a screenshot of one such suggestion

Tap the edit icon at the extreme right edge. (An icon of a pencil circled in the screenshot above).
That will show identified faces in square boxes & their thumbnails at the bottom.
Tap on the + sign on each thumbnail.
Then the app will show you all the identified faces till that time.
You can select the right one.

You can select the right one.
If not, tap the + sign at the top right corner of the screen.
That would create a new grouping altogether.
That would create a new grouping altogether.
Once created, the app may take some time to bring all the related pictures to this new grouping.
Otherwise, you can go through the collection & add the photos to the newly created group, manually, through the same steps as described above

Answer:
I just wanted to add that the option to manually add photos to a group is not available for all accounts. For example accounts where "Face grouping" was activated in Europe after it became available in 2019 do not seem to have that option.

Answer:
If you are not the Original Poster, please DO NOT add you problem/issue to this thread as it will NOT get you an answer. Please create your own thread , in the proper Product Forum, concerning your problem/issue.ThisThis will enable us to give personalized help concerning your problem.
Now- with that out of the way let's deal with DEV ROY's post in Google Photos.
Please note that, due to a variety of reasons, not all files can be recovered - but you can try!
1. Items deleted from your photos.google.com are stored in trash for 60 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
2. Items deleted manually from photos.google.com/trash can not be recovered.
3. Items deleted from your YouTube Channel can not be recovered.
4. Items deleted from your Gmail are stored in trash for 30 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
5. Items manually deleted from Gmail trash can not be recovered.
6. Items deleted from your Google Drive will be stored in Drive Trash for 30 days and then be Auto-Deleted from Trash and can not be recovered.
1).If you are using a regular personal account
You will have to contact a Google Drive Specialist who *MAY* be able to restore it. Use this link:
2). If you use a work/student account (G Suite), you should contact your Account Admin as they can restore files up to 25 days after deletion.
