Omg it really helped a lot, thank you❤️😭

It does help but google prompts and pages have changed. Hard to follow along with you. Thanks😊

Hi Neil, you are the only one I trust. My question is how do i download my Google Photos and an external hard drive? if you have already done a video on this please let me know. Thank you in advance!

Absolutely great video. Subbed.

can you delete the photos after you've backed photos on second account>?

Thanks soo much
Mine really worked 😊🎉

Very thank you.
I'm from Thailand
Sub already.

Thank you so much for this helpful video, despite the version I worked on is much different. All regards.

So showing that I have less gigabytes under 100 and yeah it still shows that I don’t have any space

HUGE! Thank you. Was looking for the "Recover Storage" option in my browser on desktop... who knew I had to use a mobile browser for it to appear. Thanks!!

I missed the link, how do I create a Google video storage account? Did I understand this correctly

EXACTLY what I was looking for, and better yet, with the best explanation and details that I could find. Excellent work, sir!

Happy, older techno-bimbo kiwi here - thank you Neil🌹

Thank you so much for this video, Neil! I already pay for the iCloud and refuse to pay for more storage!! Your clear instructions were so helpful!!

Ty... Very Nice tip... 💪

Thank you so much Neil!

I just came across this video, and I'm nearly done, but I was just wondering if compressing my photos and videos reduces the quality quite a bit, or do the photos stay basically the same. Will it be quite obvious after I compress all my photos and videos? Thanks so much for this video though.

I hope this works. I've tried 18 other things and nothing made the slightest of difference. The biggest thing I'm learning is that is you change something in your photos setting within google it doesn't update everywhere. That's interesting.. I've been threatened with my gmail closing and storage being too large and I deleted thousands of videos and photos and nothing changed the size even after waiting over 48 hours to see if the numbers would change. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you. (on a side note - I was unable to get through the browser to change the convert storage option. I had to go onto my computer because it kept defaulting to the app version.) thank you!

Hello this is Harshal from India. Tried this and got the results as desired. Thank you so much for this idea and to reduce the stress of storage. U made life a little easy. GOD bless you always.

I downloaded google photos to free up space on my iCloud but then opted to buy more iCloud storage. Somehow my photos appeared on google photos though I don’t recall syncing my phone. I do not wish to use the app anymore and was wondering if there’s a way to delete my pics on google photos without losing them on my iPhone/iCloud gallery?

Dude I accidentally took the trial and now im screwed over

Omg thank you so much sir it really worked as magic 🙏🏻♥️

Helppp!! I already did it with ur tutorial from ur previous it did the work!! But after some months i check my Google photos the storage is full rn! Its over the limit actually!! So how should I again do the thing? Is there any other way? please help! Thank u

In the US on Apple 🍎 and I’m only seeing back up and I only have the option to turn backup on or off .🤦🏽‍♀️no option to upload storage either 😢

Thank you sir , it really helps🎉

I'm 18 and noone has ever teached me the importance or how to manage my Gmail, Google photos etc. Only recently have I noticed how much this affected me as I nearly missed a scholarship offer from a uni sent through Gmail as my storage was full. Words can't express how happy I am when I came across this account. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU

Thanks brooo.🥺❤

thank you big help

Hi Neil, I am using a Samsung S22 Ultra (Android). A month ago I saved a ton of photos from google photos to my laptop drive and removed them from my google photos. Later the photos seem to have synced again from my phone to google photos so my google storage is full again. How can I remove photos from google photos to make more space but still sync my phone google photos for back up purposes? Thank you.

Hi

that didnt work couldnt find same page

Brilliant, thank you. I'm not a back end computer whizz so will have to save this and follow it step by step. I'm one of those wally's who bought some storage 🙈😅

I just came across your channel. Thanks so much for your clear step by step explanation. Now I don't have to erase any photos and videos, and on top of that I save time. 🙂

My phone doesnt give these options. I dont know a lot about google so maybe im in tje wromg area. Can you be more specific where to go? I use yahoo so my phone connects to google. When you go to find where to change the file storagw setring, where are you exactly?

Hi Neil, why is it that if click photo setting i can't see the Upload size in my phone? Please help, thank you

Great video Neil. That was really helpful. One question. To create a new account for my photos, do I need to create one from scratch with a new password? In your video it looks like you created a photo account using your existing password.

When I go to backup I don’t have the sync option like you do

Question if I make a new account and back up photos there, will they still be on my original email or only the new email?

Thanks mucho

All the added sound effects for the transitions are really annoying and make the video feel like it was edited for a five year old.

Brilliant video.Thank you for your time and effort for sharing this.
