Advise / explain backup phone Google one
OK, if you download Google One and buy the extra hundred gigabytes of storage does Google One back up your photos for you or do you have to synchronize and back up in that app? And should I turn on cellular data to back up the Google photos and videos? More on reddit.com

How well does Google Drive work for back up?
I would not consider Google drive for an automated backup solution. The key word here being "automated". Google drive is a perfectly fine solution for remote backups, So long as you're not using the synchronizing function. Google drive is fine as a remote backup. You have access to whatever it is you're storing as if it were an external drive - which is what it is. It's remote, so it satisfies the off-site requirements to protect you from local fire and flood. For my own backup needs, I make a monthly backup and archive files to for each of my computers, and then transfer those to Google drive. Those are stored for 3 months before deletion. For longer off site archiving, I use Google cloud storage. It can be ridiculously cheap compared to Google drive, with the understanding that it's use case is long term archiving, not daily backup More on reddit.com

Google One Apps backup and restore - how does it work?
Even settings and "garbage" from the apps, but what exactly of the "apps settings and garbage" depends on how the developer has written their apps. So it's not going to be a 1:1 exact restore with all apps, experience will change on a per-app basis. To know what apps have backed up some data, you can check in Drive > hamburger menu > Backups > your device > App data. That doesn't tell you what they have backed up though. Don't ask me why that's not shown in the Google One app and is instead in Google Drive because we all already know the answer ("because Google"). Usually restoring backups doesn't bring many issues. However, if you only have a few apps and don't care about restoring it because you'll still go through all settings etc manually, then I guess it's still safer to start from fresh. More on reddit.com

r/GoogleOne on Reddit: Advise / explain backup phone Google one
August 17, 2023 -

I have a hard time about the subject backup phone.

Given:

I noticed that my phone is almost full like 88% of 100 There are photos,videos,data etc

I bought google one 2tb. But this backups data of the phone to the Google cloud/ storage.

Question:

I see now that the data is also still on the phone so it doesn't become less. I can copy or move files from the phone to a Nas or external drive.

But will Google one still keep it or it sees it's gone from my phone and auto delete it there too?

Also if I move files will the date of the files change and do I keep the Google photos date,time year order?

I want to free up my phone but I dont wanna lose datetime and or files. I can make a folder like:

Data/backup/my phone And paste all in it using apps or tools but it just doesn't seem like a professional decent solution...

How you guys do this? Or you all struggling with this too?

Also I don't see my self watching old photos back on the PC. On the phone I would do it like just chill on the couch and browse some photos to see memories back I love it. But if I move data off, I would not see these photos anymore..

Or is it time to buy a phone with more storage?
