Andrew is right hélas, but it is your own fault: you have agreed with cleaning-up your phone (free-up space). So you only can blame Google via the feedback option under your profile that did not warn you more clearly.
But why do you need (old) pictures on your phone? In most cases you will have wifi and can view these pictures quite well in the Google app and best to create albums for sharing on a better way then via Whatsapp. But you also can reach Google Photos via Whatsapp now.
So if you incidently need some old picture for some special app, you simply can download that picture back to device by tapping its 3 dots. Then it can be found in your Gallery in the Restored folder.
The only way to get back 200 recent pictures can be done for free via the Google One app. No more.
Sorry - no Google here.

Hello,
I wanted to send someone a short video I made. And so I --
1. Opened Google Photos on my Windows 10 PC
2. Check marked the video
3. Went to the SHARE triangle top right
4. Selected my Dad in the list

5. And Google created a sort of shared 'webpage' where we could both chat within while looking at that video
The problem is he couldn't view the video without a password.
My problems are I never locked it with a password. Nor was I asked if I wanted to by Google. I presumed it was a glitch, repeated the process, same result.
So Google automatically password protects such items without asking me first?

Hi, Screenplayhouse
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
The sharing route is not seeking a password to view the video but to log into the Google account of the recipient.
We remain logged into the browser or app & hence that trouble is avoided.
However, your Dad may have logged out of the browser or app & then to access anything, logging into the account becomes necessary.

I got a notification to say my storage was full, so I went on and deleted heaps of photos (2013 to 2016) leaving only 2017 & 2018, then I removed all videos entirely, but it's only dropped from 15gig used to 14.79gig. That seems very unlikely considering the amount of photos and videos I just deleted??? Is there a way to see the breakdown of each photo/ video size?? I've already emptied the trash as well.
Answer:
To free up the storage, you also need to empty the Trash, which can be accessed by the Menu, the three short-horizontal lines in upper left. (Even then, it could take a day or so for your reported storage to catch up to the deletions.) Be cautious though, as emptying the Trash is permanent.

Answer:
Right, sorry I missed that you said you emptied the Trash. So you deleted the images from Google Photos, I presume. Any chance that they are stored in a hard drive folder on your computer that is synced to Google Drive? Also, what does the Storage breakdown (in Menu) of Google Photos say is taking up the space. Google Photos or Google Drive? Report back and we'll continue to troubleshoot.

Question: Help! I want to unsync my Android phone from Google Photos!
Hi, Sasha Tracey
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
Backup & sync should stop immediately after you tap the slider in front of "Backup & sync to move leftwards". A cloud symbol would appear on your profile icon the moment you select to do so.
Are you not able to move the slider & stop backup & sync?
A clarification from you would help to understand the problem better.
Answer:
Addition;
The Google Photos app always shows the contents on your phone - that has nothing to do with syncing.
Syncing depends on being logged-in and the position of the backup switch.
Be aware that you are responsible then to backup your files somewhere else in case something goes wrong with your phone.

Did you remove the SD card from some other phone & then are trying to view the content on another device? Further, do you remember the way the card was formatted there.
When we use an SD card formatted as internal memory, that can't be used in any other device without doing some recovery using some intricate route. That's why knowing the kind of formatting done becomes important.

Question: How do you move google photos to sd card
I tried using google 1
Hello Brittany,
- Open Google Photos
- Tab Library
- Tap the desired folder under Photos on device
- Select photos by long pressing then tap others after the tick confirms the first selection
- You can also long press and stroke down to select a batch
- Tap the 3 dot menu top right
- Tap Move to folder
- Tap New SD folder, type a folder name then tap Create
Note that if the photos are backed up to Google Photos this will not remove them from the Photos view and even if the new folder is not selected for Backup & sync any contents will still be deleted if deleted using the Google Photos app.
You should also have a setting in your camera app which saves new photos to the SD card.
Regards,
Peter

Question: How can I move my very large MAC Sync Folder to another drive without triggering a new backup?
I have a 1TB+ photos sync folder that I need to move to a new external drive. How do I do it without…
Just go ahead and move the folder and have Google Drive monitor the new location if you like. When you do this, it may look as if Google is backing up all the images a second time, but (if working properly) what it's actually doing is running through the images to see if they are already backed up, and if they are, skipping to the next images. Even this process will take hours with a TB size folder, but nothing like the number of hours re-uploading everything would take.
Answer:
Thanks very much for the information. I started the process last night, and it is about 75% done. It seems to have created a new folder on Google drive with the same name and structure as the old one. When I look at the activity log for the new folder, it seems to indicate it is creating items and uploading a small number of items. When I open Google Photos from the tray icon, it shows what has been newly updated. It seems to be duplicating some videos, and when I look through the entire collection, there are some days that are entirely duplicated. Here are my questions:
Answer:
Answer:
Upon closer examination, it appears based on the storage I am using, that everything is backed up 3 times. I have photos in the Google Photos folder, and in 2 other folders. I started using Google Photos a few years ago, then switched to Backup and Sync when I was forced to, then moved my sync folder to a different drive a few days ago. Is it possible that ti created and duplicated everything each time? I have the toggle on in Google Photos for syncing photos from Google Drive. Im very confused. Any ideas? I spent time chatting with Google Support, but frankly they don't seem to understand it either.

Hello D, sharing your photos publicly does not post them to your Google profile. The only way to share your photos with others is to share the link with them. You can either send them the link via chat/email or post it on your social media.

Question: How do i transfer apps or pictures to SD storage instead of internal?
Transfer from internal to sd storage
Hello Amber,
- Open Google Photos
- Tab Library
- Tap the desired folder under Photos on device
- Select photos by long pressing then tap others after the tick confirms the first selection
- You can also long press and stroke down to select a batch
- Tap the 3 dot menu top right
- Tap Move to folder
- Tap New SD folder, type a folder name then tap Create
Note that if the photos are backed up to Google Photos this will not remove them from the Photos view and even if the new folder is not selected for Backup & sync any contents will still be deleted if deleted using the Google Photos app.
You should also have a setting in your camera app which saves new photos to the SD card.
Regards,
Peter

I had to farmat my sd card so I made sure I backed up all my photos in it. Now that I've formated my sd card I only can find about half of the photos that should have been backed up and the rest is gone. Like they haven't been backed up. I'm sure that google photos told me that the back up was complete.

Answer:
Google Lens refers to information on public websites and you can save their adresses like normal bookmarks or favorites in your browser - at least temporarily.
Or to the new Reading List in the Chromebrowser on your Android-device (phone or tablet).
Hard to say more about.

Question: How can I move my very large MAC Sync Folder to another drive without triggering a new backup?
I have a 1TB+ photos sync folder that I need to move to a new external drive. How do I do it without…
Just go ahead and move the folder and have Google Drive monitor the new location if you like. When you do this, it may look as if Google is backing up all the images a second time, but (if working properly) what it's actually doing is running through the images to see if they are already backed up, and if they are, skipping to the next images. Even this process will take hours with a TB size folder, but nothing like the number of hours re-uploading everything would take.
My recommendation is that you do the following:
- Move the folder, as suggested, then have Backup and Sync (BUS) monitor it (assuming you want the monitoring to continue).
- Let the BUS process run for about an hour and then pause it, spot checking to confirm that the process is not creating duplicates (that is, making sure the process is working as designed).
- Assuming that all is working well, resume the BUS process and go to sleep, letting it finish its cataloging overnight.
Let me know if this helps (and if it does please select the Recommend button below this post so that others can more easily find the solution to similar problems).
Answer:
Thanks very much for the information. I started the process last night, and it is about 75% done. It seems to have created a new folder on Google drive with the same name and structure as the old one. When I look at the activity log for the new folder, it seems to indicate it is creating items and uploading a small number of items. When I open Google Photos from the tray icon, it shows what has been newly updated. It seems to be duplicating some videos, and when I look through the entire collection, there are some days that are entirely duplicated. Here are my questions:
- Is it normal to have multiple folders under Google Photos on DRIVE with the same names, when I do a copy like this? Can I delete the old one?
- Why would some days be duplicated? I litterly mean when I scroll through the photos in timeline view, there are duplicate days listed with the same photos. Is that because of the duplicate folders?
- The original folder that is synced has about 800GBs of photos. Google photos shows I am using 1.7TB. I am using some other space on DRIVE, but I must have a lot of duplicates. Is there a way to eliminate them.
Thanks again for all the help
Ira
Answer:
Photos shouldn't be duplicated at all unless they have been edited in some way, even trivial ways; though this doesn't explain why some entire days are duplicated. If there are or almost duplicates you don't want, test by deleting one to be sure it doesn't delete both copies, then delete the others, which should be too much trouble if it's entire days getting duplicated.
As for the volume, videos that are non-compliant with Google Photos will get backed up to Google Drive even if they were previously uploaded to Google Photos. It may be that this is what you are observing. Let me know if that makes sense.
If there are identical duplicates being created, and not just non-compliant videos, then the Backup & Sync (BUS) feature is not functioning properly. My concern over this possibility is why I suggested you run a preliminary test before running BUS on the entire large file. In any case, let's try to work out the elimination of duplicates.
Answer:
Upon closer examination, it appears based on the storage I am using, that everything is backed up 3 times. I have photos in the Google Photos folder, and in 2 other folders. I started using Google Photos a few years ago, then switched to Backup and Sync when I was forced to, then moved my sync folder to a different drive a few days ago. Is it possible that ti created and duplicated everything each time? I have the toggle on in Google Photos for syncing photos from Google Drive. Im very confused. Any ideas? I spent time chatting with Google Support, but frankly they don't seem to understand it either.
Answer:
@Peter: Although the OP can speak for himself, of course, my understanding from working with him is that he is using Backup & Sync (BUS) to monitor the same large folder for images to be backed up to Google Photos. This folder resided first on his computer hard drive and then was moved to an external drive and he wants the monitoring to continue from the latter. Assuming this is right, the answer to your question, Peter, is then My Laptop. The problem encountered is the one you and I have been discussing offline: the process of monitoring a folder with many of the same images in a folder previously backed up has caused duplicate storage (though you have not been able to replicate this and I have replicated once then failed to replicate it a second time).
Answer:
Sorry guys. I'm not scared off. Just out of the country and away from my IMac. I intend to pick this up when I get back and can do a few more experiments. I really appreciate the help.

Hello Jeffrey Halter!
Welcome to the Google Photos forum!
