@@KennySanchez68 Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a kind comment. Really pleased this might rescue your Google account. Thanks again, appreciate it.
so basically, i'm a screenshot guy, i tale ss of everything i see, and i've like 13k ss on my phone, since morning of 30th july(today) my phone stopped acessing any screenshots ! i was like so so pissed, and i came here, and it helped me a lot . now i'm taking ss of this youtube channel to remember that how it helped me .
Thanks for the kind message - my other videos in the description show how to set up another account just for your pictures to partner share back to your original account without taking up space. Good luck with your storage
So I'm an amateur videographer. Each time I do an event, I would upload the footage to my Google Drive and then share it with the client. However this wasn't working out so good because the files would be eating up my storage. And after leaving the footage on my Drive for over a month I delete it and very next day the client wants to know where it went. So, I came up with a new system. Each time I do an event, I make a new Google account (sometimes two) based on the name of the event or the client, and upload the footage to that Drive. I then share the username and password with the client giving them full control of the account to do what they want with. Now the footage is not taking up my space nor the client's space and can stay there for eternity (or until Google decides to remove unused accounts etc...) I think it's a pretty smart idea.
Thanks for the kind message and suggestion, really appreciate it. If it were me, I might probably use TH-cam to upload to which has no limits and is easy to share... but appreciate that clients might be worried that it seems so public, even if it were set to unlisted or private, and also they would want the actual file to download. Thanks again.
@@neilmossey also, many times in sending completely unedited footage, which would mean needing to send a number of links as my camera saves a file every half hour. Also, sometimes I need to send pictures as well, which wouldn't really work with YT.
Thanks Neil, My Google storage was maxed out. I followed your suggestion of uploading my 10 years plus of photos and videos in the compressed format, and it went down by HALF!. I have now added at least a couple of years to my 15G of Google storage. Can't thank you enough. I'm telling my friends about this. Thanks again!
@@elixier33 exactly. do you know louis rossman? he talked about a dad who sent photos of his naked son to a doctor and then google flagged him as a criminal and deleted his whole account, which had a massive domino effect. he couldn't do anything to restore it.
Please tell me once I've created another Google account and backed up my 8gb+ photos and videos onto that can I now go back to google photos of my older Gmail account and delete them there so that I free up 8gb worth of space for emails there? Will the photos still be safe on my new Google account?
@Neil..I have been trying for the past year to fix the storage issue but no one on TH-cam has provided a step by step instruction better than you.. You are awesome, thank you
Buddy don't do this, you can land in big trouble. Say you create multiple accounts (for storage instance). Google knows everything, they know (with ip address, cache and spying) that how many accounts you have. You cant hide from them (since they themselves are spyware, rootkit in android). If they ban one of your account, you become ineligible for some Google services with rest of your accounts as well (sadly very harsh). Like for example if one of your google account is banned, you create android developer id (kind of Google service, services may differ) with another Google account. Even after paying, your Google service will be void for violating Google policies. Ban on one account can effect your every other account, and that is worst part of Google baba knowing everything.
& this is not a imaginery thing, many google accounts have been banned for violating google policies. Unfortunately there is no way to contact google making things worse. If your one google account gets banned, your every other google account is effected. & you are ineligible for any Google service unless u change your IP adress completely. Thats is Sad and Worst part!!
@@animalrecapped I transferred my photos from my old Google account to my new one and they say they don't take up space, even if I deleted the photo off the old account and my device the photo is still on my new account even tho it doesn't take up space, so contacted Google 3 months ago, and today they said thats normal and its good and i won't have any issues. My question is why don't they take up space?
Good plan Neil, but with one small catch! When you set up a new account and tell it to backup your photos, it will backup ALL the photos that are stored on your phone, not just the most recent year, which could mean several year's worth, so you'll be in the same position you were when you started. If you want an account for each year, for example, you'd need to make sure your phone ONLY had this year's photos on it. Then you'd need to delete them all from your phone before starting a new account for the next year. Also beware some services sync rather than backup, which means when you delete on your phone, it deletes them online too. The moral being to always backup photos onto a separate physical drive somewhere before doing anything clever!
@@stevo19911991 Hi Stevo thanks for the kind question. I say yes, but there is a risk that the photo will reupload or resync if the backup is turned back on. If it were me - and I'm' sure you've considered this: I'd test it with some photos that you know have been backed up onto your Mac to be sure that deleting on Google Photos doesn't delete pictures on your phone. Good luck!
If I can buy for some price +5 or +10 Gb of storage for all my life I would do so. But I do not want to buy subscription for years for my photos or stupid videos.
Keep creating google accounts and you’ll get 15gb of storage with every account and one day google will ban all of your accounts due to violating it’s policies 👍

I've mustered my courage to follow these steps and resolved this perpetual darn storage limit anxiety once and for all. This is gold, thank you Neil. With my years of photos safely stored in the old google account, I set my new account for photos 2024 onwards. To save the new account from duplicating all photos, I transferred them all out of my phone into an external storage disk, leaving only 2024 photos in there - this is done before changing backup setting to the new account in google photo on the phone. I can now toggle between 2 accounts in google photo to see the old and new. Best things ever and I hope more can benefit from your video...Thank you!
Be aware that google will delete your data if you no longer use their services for 2 years. And also there is high chance that you are backing up the same photos twice or more. So should be careful.
Thanks Neil from a lawyer who fights for consumers , small business, and constitutional rights for people . My first review online it's truly unfortunate that a company that got millions of Americans with what we were told was free. Then that company sells our information at our expense ...No more I urge everyone to pass this information on and on. Big thanks
Neil - very helpful video as my wife has been dealing with a space issue on her account for months now, and we are too thrifty to buy additional storage. I went to her Google Photos and chose to compress her existing photos as suggested. The process is still running, but has already saved .5 GB. Something else interesting happened. When her account was nearly full, Google was keen to offer addition storage (I think 100 GB) for $1.99 per month. The moment that I hit the compress button, the offer changed to a "Special" of $.49 per month for the same amount of storage. Google knows that there is a link between demand and price, I guess.
OHHHH thanks for that update @dbknox - Very funny that the offer changed!!! Hope it does the job, and hope it helps to create a brand new account just for the photos to keep the account operational. Not thrifty... I'd say wise! Good luck and thanks again for the kind message!
That $0.49 per month is for the first year, then it goes to $11.99 a month Always avoid any kind of monthly payment if you can, its not always possible, but the more you avoid it the more disposable income you will have. Strive to be debt free, its a wonderful thing
Neil YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! And from now on also my hero. I asked so many people for help dealing with my "out of storage" situation and no one had the solution. Thank you so much!
The sound effects on this video were unbearable for me. I had to turn on the captions and lower the volume to the slightest whisper. A summary for those of us that cannot stand the big arrows and constant dings: Just create another google account when you run out of storage and "partner share" all the photos to your primary google account. Also don't forget to use storage saver! Thank you Neil! This video was helpful and I understand why you have the loud sounds and arrows but I still don't enjoy it lol.
@@rahsaanb8749 Thanks for the kind comment. I thought that too after I had uploaded it, unfortunately. Then it went on to get 900000 views, so what do I know!
Excellent advice. I have this setting enabled since forever on my Google photos. The quality is almost the same wjen viewing on my phone. I can't even remember how I discovered this option. Probably when I first got the message that my account was full. I also can't remember how many friends I've helped with the exact same issue. Glad there is a simple video for people to follow and enjoy unlimited space!!!
Thank you Neil, this was fantastic! I have been struggling trying to keep below the limit and this made a big difference. Really appreciate you taking the time to put this video and instructions together! Next up is trying to figure out how to reduce the size of my Gmail while still having access to the emails offline!
I could definitely see this working, however, make sure you have removed the old photos from your phone to exterior storage, or it will keep backing up All the photos.
So, here I go! I’ve spent a week deleting almost 10 years of photos because my email is being held hostage. I am excited to see if this works and be able to get my email back! Very excited, will keep you updated! Thank you.
I’m going to try this later on. I used to reduce the quality and it would work for a bit. Suddenly I couldn’t find that option any longer. Thanks for these tips.
Thanks for the kind message Emeraldsroses, really hope this helps. Bizarrely Google removed this option from the phone app but leave it on the desktop site. Good luck with fixing your account.
Thanks, Neil, My Google storage was maxed out. I followed your suggestions. I'm back to normal. Can't thank you enough. I'm telling my friends about this. You are a star....Thanks again!
Thanks Pete, I know that feeling! You have no need to watch another video, but if you're curious about using Partner Sharing with yourself to stay under 15GB, there's a new video here... th-cam.com/video/hjMCcod6mCM/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for the kind comment, really appreciate it.
Hi Neil, I came across your channel by chance, then I liked what I saw, and then, as a natural consequence, I subscribed to your channel. This is an interesting alternative to get more space in Photos and I had thought about it before. I have a couple of questions on this method. 1) Once I log into my new Google account in my mobile phone, will I be able to get my messages from my regular Gmail account? As far as I know, you can only have one Google account active at a time. 2) If I share the new account with my older account, I will be able to watch my photos and videos from my new account in my old account, but how do I watch the photos stored in my old account? Won't I need to log in to my old account to access those photos? 3) Many of the photos in my mobile phone are going to get duplicated in my new account (since they were already backed up in my old account), how to resolve this issue? I hope I am not asking too many questions.😊 Thanks and regards in advance. Good day to you.
Yep this really works, I went from full to below 4Gb and didn't have to use the final part of the video. Brilliant video very easy to follow instructions.
This is something I have beenn looking for for ages. The problem being, you were so quick I had trouble following you. I'll have to run this on my laptop, and follow you on my PC. EDIT: I had my PC running for a long time with the message saying "This could take several hours." So I did a reboot. I now have over 10gig of storage left. Thanks for the video Neil, much apprciated
Too true - this is very fiddly, I've made a video just about recovering the account only using only a phone but it sounds like you might be aiming foe an external drive - good luck!
This is really helpful thank you so so much. You reminded me of things I'd discovered a while ago but didnt take too much notice of (and now desperately need to do something about my storage) - and you've included in this video everything that i need to do. Brilliant. Just one thing - (not too bad in this video), but in others, the sound effects are sooooo annoying that its very off-putting and may even be a reason I can't watch any more. This is such a shame because the content is really useful. It also makes a nice change to hear a fellow Brit rather than an American voice (which I like, but still, nice to hear an English accent)!!
hi, thanks for the big help! Just got worried a day ago that I have to delete some files, pics and videos to lessen the storage, and I found your video! I followed your instructions and now my storage got more than 4 years left..Thanks again!
Thanks Neil for figuring out this way to regain back the space in google storage! you have saved us from deleting our precious photos and also the unnecessary google storage subscription. Sharing this video with my friends so that it helps them.
I'm usually bad at directions, but yours was easy to follow. Thanks, this really helped, as I don't have much money and Xiaomi phones upgraded their firmware and won't let me connect to my PC via USB anymore so this was life-saving.
Thank you for sharing these ideas. I was always wondering why my storage in Google was getting full almost overnight despite me having bought a phone which has almost 10 x of storage space more than I actually need. I do not need to save / back up my photos on google
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I've been so stressed about what to do about freeing up storage due to all my photos. All of the "out of storage" emails were driving me nuts and I didn't know what to do. Yours is the first video I clicked on and I know I do not need to look any further for help! Thank you!! Thank you!!
That's so great to hear - thanks for the very kind comment. The playlist in the description has some ideas for staying under the limit permanently if you can face it (I can't face it!) Good luck with your storage and thanks again, I appreciate it!
I'll echo what's been said by others..... Absolute genius!!!! Was cursing myself for activating Google photos, trying and failing it work out how to remedy the situation, failing miserably I might add cos I'm not an IT genius. You're saving sanity 1 person at a time sir!
After I got rid of 8gb google doc files I found out that I had permanently deleted the major file i use daily. I contacted google support and within 15 min, all the permanently deleted files were restored. did it via chat. this happened maybe a year or so ago and my office person had to contact them. this time i did it. the important thing is do not delay a single second!! at a certain point, even they can't help you. do not panic; just contact them.
As a professional photographer, I prefer shooting in raw and so do I like to save some of my important files even after editing them already. Wouldn't compressing the files not also ruin the RAW pictures? That's why I prefer original. Thanks
Thanks for the kind question AWA Ereck - absolutely - but the comments I've been receiving question if Google Photos is the right place for them to store those RAW images, given we have no idea what Google will be charging 3 months from now, let alone 3 years and the amount of storage needed will only go up too... Some even like Google Photos for its search to look up original photos at high res stored locally or on external drive... This video is just here to help people recover their Google Account if they don't want to go into that long term paid relationship with no exit strategy. If you like storing on Original, that's awesome. Thanks again
The compressed photos should look fine on a mobile, but in print or on a large screen they may look a little blurry, so you still have to backup photos that you might want to view in a large format one day.
@@neilmosseyWould a thumb drive do the job? I don't want to compress because I take photos of tiny detailed organisms ( such as spiders) for the teaching I do.
Thanks heaps for this, I'm not tech savvy at all, and wasn't sure what I was going to do. I followed your advise and went from 15g to 4 g!!! Now I have heaps more space!!!
Yeah but that $2 ends up being $24 for the year and then $48 a year after that and it will keep growing the longer you want to keep it, which is exactly what google wants...the best thing to do is to get an ssd and dump all your photos and videos onto that. They're fairly cheap nowadays, and you can link it to a cloud to have access everywhere you go....however, creating a new google account just for pictures and videos is a good free option.
This has solved my problem I’ve had with my ac for years. Finally! A permanent fix. Thanks a lot much appreciated & I’m certainly going to check out your other vids. Im all for the tips tricks! I’m actually excited 😂
Thanks so much! Finally some tech advice that works! I did find that in order to change the Google Photos backup account on Apple devices (phone & tablet), I had to uninstall the app and then reinstall under the new photos account. Thanks again!
Thanks for the very kind message Ella, I really appreciate it. Hope you can get Partner Sharing working for your Google Photos because it's changed everything for me! Good luck with your Google Storage!
Nice video! But I couldn't find the option to convert the existing photos and videos to compressed form. The UI seems to have changed since you made this video. Would really appreciate if you could help find the option if it still exists. Thanks! Edit: Found the option in google photos settings.
I've found a way to back up all my photos that take up zero storage... I get the pictures that I truly care about printed and keep them in a photo album that will last generations 🤓 it's amazing how people care so much about pictures but don't care enough about them to actually make them real😂
Thank you. I've had four google accounts running since 2018 and it's been trouble free. The thing I mostly took from this was step 4, partner sharing - genius, well done!
damn I thought this was a clickbait at first, but after watching it and following your steps, what a magic !!?!??! Didnt even thought of this method, really amazing !!!
Thanks for your very kind comment - glad it might help. The Partner Sharing I tried after this video is really worth doing too - I'm still using mine and not run out of space! (yet!) Good luck with your storage!
Thanks for your video Neil, very clear information. Just wondering how to download everything of mine, that has been stored on Google, in the first place so that I can keep it Thanks again for your tips, most appreciated.
Only just came across this. Because I'm now getting the storage full message and wanting me to pay. Thank You so much....I'm letting everyone know about this.
Thanks again for an easy to follow tutorial. Google has changed how they label their content and icons, somewhat. Would you ever think of updating this video because of that? I've really learned a lot from you and want to say thanks! You've saved me hours of tedious and perhaps needless photo deletions! Bravo Sir!!
Thanks Albert. I'm doing this with only one 'photos' account now and using partner sharing to share it back to my 'real' account - and with auto save, when the photos account deletes the photo/video it remains in my 'real' account. Good luck with your storage and thanks again.
I was facing the same problem. I followed the steps as per your instructions and my problem is now solved 😁.. Thankyou so much for this video!!. It helped me a lot. Thanks a ton!

I say yes, but there is a risk that the photo will reupload or resync if the backup is turned back on.
If it were me - and I'm' sure you've considered this: I'd test it with some photos that you know have been backed up onto your Mac to be sure that deleting on Google Photos doesn't delete pictures on your phone. Good luck!
If I can buy for some price +5 or +10 Gb of storage for all my life I would do so. But I do not want to buy subscription for years for my photos or stupid videos.
Too true, thanks for the kind message
Keep creating google accounts and you’ll get 15gb of storage with every account and one day google will ban all of your accounts due to violating it’s policies 👍

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

ARIADNARB, dear can we watch those stupid videos together?
I've mustered my courage to follow these steps and resolved this perpetual darn storage limit anxiety once and for all. This is gold, thank you Neil.
With my years of photos safely stored in the old google account, I set my new account for photos 2024 onwards.
To save the new account from duplicating all photos, I transferred them all out of my phone into an external storage disk, leaving only 2024 photos in there - this is done before changing backup setting to the new account in google photo on the phone.
I can now toggle between 2 accounts in google photo to see the old and new. Best things ever and I hope more can benefit from your video...Thank you!
Be aware that google will delete your data if you no longer use their services for 2 years. And also there is high chance that you are backing up the same photos twice or more. So should be careful.
Thanks Neil from a lawyer who fights for consumers , small business, and constitutional rights for people . My first review online it's truly unfortunate that a company that got millions of Americans with what we were told was free. Then that company sells our information at our expense ...No more I urge everyone to pass this information on and on. Big thanks
Neil - very helpful video as my wife has been dealing with a space issue on her account for months now, and we are too thrifty to buy additional storage. I went to her Google Photos and chose to compress her existing photos as suggested. The process is still running, but has already saved .5 GB. Something else interesting happened. When her account was nearly full, Google was keen to offer addition storage (I think 100 GB) for $1.99 per month. The moment that I hit the compress button, the offer changed to a "Special" of $.49 per month for the same amount of storage. Google knows that there is a link between demand and price, I guess.
OHHHH thanks for that update @dbknox - Very funny that the offer changed!!!
Hope it does the job, and hope it helps to create a brand new account just for the photos to keep the account operational.
Not thrifty... I'd say wise!
Good luck and thanks again for the kind message!
How do you compress Google Photos? Please share.
Hahaha..
@@MariaMaria-sz1rm it's explained in the video
That $0.49 per month is for the first year, then it goes to $11.99 a month
Always avoid any kind of monthly payment if you can, its not always possible, but the more you avoid it the more disposable income you will have. Strive to be debt free, its a wonderful thing
Thank you. My desktop is now working on compressing the photos. BTW, I also like your style - full of smiles. A happy personality. God Bless you!
Thanks for the very kind comment Muhammed, I really appreciate it
Neil YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
And from now on also my hero.
I asked so many people for help dealing with my "out of storage" situation and no one had the solution.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the very kind message Adva, I appreciate it.
Good luck with your storage!
If he was a genious he wouldnt be using google to backup his services at all! Not cool, you cant fix stupid!
The sound effects on this video were unbearable for me. I had to turn on the captions and lower the volume to the slightest whisper. A summary for those of us that cannot stand the big arrows and constant dings: Just create another google account when you run out of storage and "partner share" all the photos to your primary google account. Also don't forget to use storage saver! Thank you Neil! This video was helpful and I understand why you have the loud sounds and arrows but I still don't enjoy it lol.
Thank you for letting me know that this video isn't for you
@@neilmossey it was very helpful information though and I appreciate you for making it! Mainly the sound effects weren't for me
@@rahsaanb8749 Thanks for the kind comment.
I thought that too after I had uploaded it, unfortunately. Then it went on to get 900000 views, so what do I know!
Don't show this video to google
hahahahaha..... he has uploaded this video in youtube .
Excellent advice. I have this setting enabled since forever on my Google photos. The quality is almost the same wjen viewing on my phone. I can't even remember how I discovered this option. Probably when I first got the message that my account was full. I also can't remember how many friends I've helped with the exact same issue. Glad there is a simple video for people to follow and enjoy unlimited space!!!
Thanks for taking the time to leave this kind message @dimosk7389 - I appreciate it! Good luck with your storage
I watched a lot of videos, and I must say you are the one who is giving usable
value here. Cool Work!
Thanks for the very kind comment @kimzacho5268 - really appreciate it, and really pleased if it's helping.
Neil, fantastic stuff! Really appreciate you passing along this video. Thanks a ton!🙂
The last trick to 'Recover Storage' was very helpful, it cleared more storage for me in short time without deleting data, thanks!!
Thank you Neil, this was fantastic! I have been struggling trying to keep below the limit and this made a big difference. Really appreciate you taking the time to put this video and instructions together!
Next up is trying to figure out how to reduce the size of my Gmail while still having access to the emails offline!
Hi, I'm from Malaysia, a Training Provider company. Love your video. Clear and very informative. Thank you for this video!
Hello Malaysia! Thanks for the very kind comment GoldenTusks, really appreciate it.
I could definitely see this working, however, make sure you have removed the old photos from your phone to exterior storage, or it will keep backing up All the photos.
Totally - always the safest option. Thanks for the kind comment.
Thank you Neil! Wish I found this video sooner! Been such a hassle getting my storage down. You're a life saver! 🙏
Search and Read my comment before doing this. It simply shouldn't be done!!
Hii. Exuse me can you please explain to me how I can delete photos in my google photos without it deleting in my camera roll.
So, here I go! I’ve spent a week deleting almost 10 years of photos because my email is being held hostage. I am excited to see if this works and be able to get my email back! Very excited, will keep you updated! Thank you.
did it work?
My Dad told me to check this out, I'm so glad I listened. Dad was right 👍🏻
Thank you 🙌🏻
Well done man. You are the most knowledgeable and erudite instructor I've ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind comment Jerry, I am winging it but thanks.
I’m going to try this later on. I used to reduce the quality and it would work for a bit. Suddenly I couldn’t find that option any longer. Thanks for these tips.
Thanks for the kind message Emeraldsroses, really hope this helps. Bizarrely Google removed this option from the phone app but leave it on the desktop site.
Good luck with fixing your account.
Yes I had the same idea and now have 3 gmail accounts. Thanks for sharing, love your channel.
Thanks for the lovely comment Jess!
Neil - Very Clever! That was a nice piece of creative thinking. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my God, thank you so much, I've been looking for something like this for a long time. You are a literal lifesaver.
Figurative 😊
What a brilliant video Neil !! Followed this with you yesterday and ow I have more free space :D- Thank you !
Many thanks for the kind comment @soyouwanttobeaceo - I really appreciate it. Glad something in here might help and good luck with your storage!
Thank you very much, I freed up 4 years worth of storage
That's fantastic, really appreciate the kind comment thanks
Just did this and it worked. I’ve been so worried about not receiving emails.
Thank you.
Thanks, Neil, My Google storage was maxed out. I followed your suggestions. I'm back to normal. Can't thank you enough. I'm telling my friends about this. You are a star....Thanks again!
We like ur sense of humor 💜❤️🤍🖤💚
Thanks 4 sharing!!!
Big thanks for the kind message Nikita, really appreciate it!
You, Sir are a star!
I've been procrastinating for months and now have a viable solution! Thank you! 👌🏻
Thanks Pete, I know that feeling!
You have no need to watch another video, but if you're curious about using Partner Sharing with yourself to stay under 15GB, there's a new video here...

Thanks again for the kind comment, really appreciate it.
Hi Neil, I came across your channel by chance, then I liked what I saw, and then, as a natural consequence, I subscribed to your channel.
This is an interesting alternative to get more space in Photos and I had thought about it before. I have a couple of questions on this method.
1) Once I log into my new Google account in my mobile phone, will I be able to get my messages from my regular Gmail account? As far as I know, you can only have one Google account active at a time.
2) If I share the new account with my older account, I will be able to watch my photos and videos from my new account in my old account, but how do I watch the photos stored in my old account? Won't I need to log in to my old account to access those photos?
3) Many of the photos in my mobile phone are going to get duplicated in my new account (since they were already backed up in my old account), how to resolve this issue?
I hope I am not asking too many questions.😊
Thanks and regards in advance. Good day to you.
Yep this really works, I went from full to below 4Gb and didn't have to use the final part of the video. Brilliant video very easy to follow instructions.
This is something I have beenn looking for for ages. The problem being, you were so quick I had trouble following you. I'll have to run this on my laptop, and follow you on my PC.
EDIT: I had my PC running for a long time with the message saying "This could take several hours."
So I did a reboot. I now have over 10gig of storage left. Thanks for the video Neil, much apprciated
Billions of THANK YOU TO YOU. Neil Mossey
Great stuff - glad it might help thanks Blue Pea
Deleting my photos on my old account is Deleting photos on my new account. What am I doing wrong ?
It's worth a try..lots of steps, but I'm sick of paying Google
Too true - this is very fiddly, I've made a video just about recovering the account only using only a phone but it sounds like you might be aiming foe an external drive - good luck!
This is really helpful thank you so so much. You reminded me of things I'd discovered a while ago but didnt take too much notice of (and now desperately need to do something about my storage) - and you've included in this video everything that i need to do. Brilliant.
Just one thing - (not too bad in this video), but in others, the sound effects are sooooo annoying that its very off-putting and may even be a reason I can't watch any more. This is such a shame because the content is really useful. It also makes a nice change to hear a fellow Brit rather than an American voice (which I like, but still, nice to hear an English accent)!!
I agreed. The sound....
hi, thanks for the big help! Just got worried a day ago that I have to delete some files, pics and videos to lessen the storage, and I found your video! I followed your instructions and now my storage got more than 4 years left..Thanks again!
Thanks Neil for figuring out this way to regain back the space in google storage! you have saved us from deleting our precious photos and also the unnecessary google storage subscription. Sharing this video with my friends so that it helps them.
Thank you for "taking the time" to do this video I found it very helpful😊
Thanks for the kind comment tyh.
You are brilliant! Thanks for explaining so well! I shared on my facebook page! Hope it helps others, too!
Thanks for the v kind comment @Darcischulze5138 , really appreciate it!
Thank you Naul, that was a very briliant idea. wish you all good.
Thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate it
I'm usually bad at directions, but yours was easy to follow. Thanks, this really helped, as I don't have much money and Xiaomi phones upgraded their firmware and won't let me connect to my PC via USB anymore so this was life-saving.
That's really good to hear because it's not easy, so really pleased something here might help.
Good luck with your Google storage
Thank you for sharing these ideas. I was always wondering why my storage in Google was getting full almost overnight despite me having bought a phone which has almost 10 x of storage space more than I actually need. I do not need to save / back up my photos on google
Great job Neil, your video is superb and to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind message Arthur, I appreciate it!
Good luck with your storage!
i did it!!!! thank you so much my friend for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the kind comment @oscar86456 - really pleased it might help
You're such a blessing and you laugh to make it all so genius! Thank you 😊
Thanks for your very kind comment Siki, I really appreciate it!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I've been so stressed about what to do about freeing up storage due to all my photos. All of the "out of storage" emails were driving me nuts and I didn't know what to do. Yours is the first video I clicked on and I know I do not need to look any further for help! Thank you!! Thank you!!
That's so great to hear - thanks for the very kind comment.
The playlist in the description has some ideas for staying under the limit permanently if you can face it (I can't face it!)
Good luck with your storage and thanks again, I appreciate it!
I'll echo what's been said by others..... Absolute genius!!!! Was cursing myself for activating Google photos, trying and failing it work out how to remedy the situation, failing miserably I might add cos I'm not an IT genius. You're saving sanity 1 person at a time sir!
Thanks for taking the time to leave this kind comment @biscuitbuilds2066 - I really appreciate it. Good luck with your storage!
Your dedication and efforts are truly inspiring. Wishing you continued success and accomplishments in all your endeavours. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the very kind comment Sayalitambe, I really appreciate it
@@neilmossey is this method still working?
maybe my desktop is the issue
After I got rid of 8gb google doc files I found out that I had permanently deleted the major file i use daily.
I contacted google support and within 15 min, all the permanently deleted files were restored. did it via chat. this happened maybe a year or so ago and my office person had to contact them. this time i did it. the important thing is do not delay a single second!! at a certain point, even they can't help you. do not panic; just contact them.
That's extremely helpful to know, thanks for the kind comment Harold!
I love this video because you just think like a Nigerian man cause who want to pay for subscription for life 😂😂😂. love from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Haha thanks - what a compliment!
Really appreciate the kind coment
Many thanks Neil. I was struggling how to free up my google accounts for several months and I just compressed all photos and it worked very well.
Amazing video love your enthusiasm and vibe I never comment on videos but this one deserved it 👍
Thanks for taking the time to leave this very kind comment, I appreciate it. Good luck with your Google Storage!
As a professional photographer, I prefer shooting in raw and so do I like to save some of my important files even after editing them already.
Wouldn't compressing the files not also ruin the RAW pictures?
That's why I prefer original.
Thanks
Thanks for the kind question AWA Ereck - absolutely - but the comments I've been receiving question if Google Photos is the right place for them to store those RAW images, given we have no idea what Google will be charging 3 months from now, let alone 3 years and the amount of storage needed will only go up too... Some even like Google Photos for its search to look up original photos at high res stored locally or on external drive... This video is just here to help people recover their Google Account if they don't want to go into that long term paid relationship with no exit strategy. If you like storing on Original, that's awesome. Thanks again
FINALLY! I found someone like me 😂
(Using all the storage up with photos)
Haha yes! Good luck with finding a fix!
@@neilmossey Thank you :)
And thank you for your tips!
The compressed photos should look fine on a mobile, but in print or on a large screen they may look a little blurry, so you still have to backup photos that you might want to view in a large format one day.
Yes thanks Peter - really important to backup locally or with other service
@@neilmosseyWould a thumb drive do the job? I don't want to compress because I take photos of tiny detailed organisms ( such as spiders) for the teaching I do.
Woooow! Thats amazing. Thank you for sharing this information!!
Thanks for the kind comment Yokodo, I appreciate it!
Thanks heaps for this, I'm not tech savvy at all, and wasn't sure what I was going to do. I followed your advise and went from 15g to 4 g!!!
Now I have heaps more space!!!
Holy moly this is such a life-saver! Thank you a ton!
Thanks for taking the time to leave this very kind message - really pleased that it might help.
@@neilmossey You're so kind to find them to even reply to each of the zillion comments Neil....Wow, God bless you.
Your joy , knowledge, your findings.. sharing all those tips are useful and of assistance.
Thanks for the very kind message Adriana, really appreciate it. Good luck with your storage!
I've already purchased the 100 GB plan, and it rocks. But anyway, this is a smart idea for those who do not want to rent a google one. Thank you Neil.
Thanks for the kind comment Anas, really appreciate it!
Google One is the way to go for me, too.
I got mad at my Google account's storage then I found this video. Amazing technique, better one. thanks for sharing bro
Thanks for the kind message @mohamedabdullahimaam9710 !
OMG thank you! Very clear instructions! I went from 15 GB to 9 without creating the extra accounts.
Good video and tips, but the cost of a 100 GB Google Drive is only $1.99 a month or $9.99 a month for 2 Terabytes.
Yeah but that $2 ends up being $24 for the year and then $48 a year after that and it will keep growing the longer you want to keep it, which is exactly what google wants...the best thing to do is to get an ssd and dump all your photos and videos onto that. They're fairly cheap nowadays, and you can link it to a cloud to have access everywhere you go....however, creating a new google account just for pictures and videos is a good free option.
*Sir...*
*If i delete those large attachment files from my gmail.. will it also get delete from my mobile device or gallery...???*
pretty sure yes
too much sound effects to the point that its getting annoying.
True, can't focus on the words.
second time i have used this video, thank you again! this video is saved for later as well. much appreciated :)
This has solved my problem I’ve had with my ac for years. Finally! A permanent fix. Thanks a lot much appreciated & I’m certainly going to check out your other vids. Im all for the tips tricks! I’m actually excited 😂
There is no recover storage on that page
Why do you keep using breaking sound effect?
because he thinks he is osamason
best thing to do is buy a harddrive
Very true - thanks @Warviation
Thanks so much! Finally some tech advice that works! I did find that in order to change the Google Photos backup account on Apple devices (phone & tablet), I had to uninstall the app and then reinstall under the new photos account. Thanks again!
This is the best advice on saving photos to Google Photos ! And also on preventing filling up the storage limit on Google!
Neil, this is absolutely amazing and has helped me incredibly. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You got a new subscriber!
Thanks for the very kind message Ella, I really appreciate it.
Hope you can get Partner Sharing working for your Google Photos because it's changed everything for me!
Good luck with your Google Storage!
Nice video! But I couldn't find the option to convert the existing photos and videos to compressed form. The UI seems to have changed since you made this video. Would really appreciate if you could help find the option if it still exists. Thanks!
Edit: Found the option in google photos settings.
Ah, thanks for the kind question Dominik and the update - hope it's working okay for you.
I have the same problem. I am out of storage space and I don't see a backup and sync option. HELP.
5:25 - Free storage
👍
I've found a way to back up all my photos that take up zero storage... I get the pictures that I truly care about printed and keep them in a photo album that will last generations 🤓 it's amazing how people care so much about pictures but don't care enough about them to actually make them real😂
Too true! Publishing - the best backup of all!
Thanks for the kind comment
I do too, but that album is full too
Thank you. I've had four google accounts running since 2018 and it's been trouble free. The thing I mostly took from this was step 4, partner sharing - genius, well done!
damn I thought this was a clickbait at first, but after watching it and following your steps, what a magic !!?!??! Didnt even thought of this method, really amazing !!!
Thanks for your very kind comment - glad it might help. The Partner Sharing I tried after this video is really worth doing too - I'm still using mine and not run out of space! (yet!) Good luck with your storage!
This was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so very much. You are subscribed.
Thanks for the kind message Ajay, I appreciate it - good luck with your Google Storage!
Thanks for your video Neil, very clear information.
Just wondering how to download everything of mine, that has been stored on Google, in the first place so that I can keep it
Thanks again for your tips, most appreciated.
This still works just tried It, THANK YOU Neil!
Absolutely brilliant! No more goofy google prompts. Thank-you.
Great! I tried some tricks but this is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to explain this storage saver process!
Only just came across this. Because I'm now getting the storage full message and wanting me to pay. Thank You so much....I'm letting everyone know about this.
Thanks again for an easy to follow tutorial. Google has changed how they label their content and icons, somewhat. Would you ever think of updating this video because of that? I've really learned a lot from you and want to say thanks! You've saved me hours of tedious and perhaps needless photo deletions! Bravo Sir!!
Absolute life saver!! Great video, and thank you. Worked perfectly.
Thanks for the kind message -- really pleased it might work @charminglynee
Good luck with your storage!
This works perfectly well.. I have been doing this since 2021.. I am on my third google photo album now.. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Albert. I'm doing this with only one 'photos' account now and using partner sharing to share it back to my 'real' account - and with auto save, when the photos account deletes the photo/video it remains in my 'real' account. Good luck with your storage and thanks again.
I wish all videos were this good ...clear and concise ...thank you very much
Thanks for the kind comment MiaPlantSoup - good luck with your storage!
Great Tips, Neil!
Many thanks for the valuable advice and method to save & reduce the amount of data on Google !
