4] Use Separate Account for Google PhotosĪs an alternative, you can use a separate account altogether for Google Photos. If you’re not sure about how to do that, here’s our complete guide on how to transfer files from one Google Drive account to another.
Now, this can be done either through Google Drive sharing or by using third-party services like Drive Migrator and MultCloud. 3] Transfer Google Drive Files from One Google Account to AnotherĪre the files on Google Drive too important to be deleted? Well, in that case, you can transfer them from your current account to a secondary one that’s not being used for Google Photos. Furthermore, you can erase emails having sizeable attachments to save additional space. Therefore, it is recommended to delete the files you no longer need on your Google Drive. Hence, if these services are eating too much space on your drive, you’ll be left with very little room for ‘original quality uploads.’ 2] Delete Unnecessary Files from Google Drive & Clear Junk E-mailsĪs noted above, the 15 Gigabytes of free storage space given to your account is also used by Google Drive and Google Mail to store files & other data. To convert them into high quality, open Google Photos settings page and click on “Recover Storage.” This will clear up the space used by Google backups on your account’s free storage quota. That being said, if you’ve gone from original to high quality, the pictures uploaded previously will remain unchanged. Note that choosing a higher quality than the current setting will also re-upload existing items from your phone. To do the same, open the Photos app on your phone, click on Settings and navigate to Backup & Sync > Backup Mode. So, the most feasible way to have unlimited storage on Google Photos is to change the backup mode from Original to High Quality. Items uploaded past that will start utilizing the space on your drive. And even if you have a Pixel-series phone, the free unlimited original-quality storage lasts only for two years of use. However, the Original quality mode still uses the account’s limited storage space. Now, both the High Quality and Express modes offer unlimited Google Photos cloud storage for backups. This option may not be available to all users, though. ‘Express’ option, on the other hand, offers faster backup over WiFi and mobile data by resizing the pictures to a maximum resolution of 3MP and videos to 480p. Whereas, the resolution for videos will be capped to 1080p. Photos are resized to 16MP, offering good quality prints for sizes up to 24 x 16 inches. In the case of ‘High Quality’ backups, the images are compressed to save space. And hence, all the photos and videos are stored in the same resolution that you took them. Selecting ‘Original’ uploads the pictures in their native form. For starters, Google offers three modes for photo backups- Original, High, and Express.
