How can I download all my photo back on my phone ?!
You used the "Free up space" feature and it did exactly what it said it would do and you confirmed. Chill. Unfortunately the easiest way to get your photos back on your device (that was full, mind you, so you better figure out a way around that first), is to use Google Takeout on a desktop computer to download all of your Google Photos. You can choose just the YYYY-MM-DD folders and ignore all others (those contain dupes for the albums, which will be counter-productive in your case). Also change the default archive size from 2 GB to 50 GB to ease downloading. After downloading, extract the archives, plug your phone into your computer, and copy all the photos back to the DCIM folder on your phone. You can ignore the JSON files. Now also realize you have no backups if your photos are only in Google Photos, especially if you don't have a copy on your phone. Use Google Takeout occasionally (I do it every 2 months) and store those archives in at least 1-2 safe places. More on reddit.com

Has anybody else ever lost 5-10 years worth of photos? If so, how did you get over it?
I lost all the family photos for about 10 years. I spent a few thousand dollars on recovery software, a company that specializes in recovering lost files, and 6 months working with family (mostly my father) going through pictures I’d sent him/them to get back what I lost. I’m missing pictures when my son was about 2 years old. Other than that I’m satisfied I got most of what I cared about back. More on reddit.com

r/googlephotos on Reddit: How can I download all my photo back on my phone ?!
February 27, 2024 -

So, tonigth I got an alert saying that I had almost no space left on my Google account or something like that. Of course, since the synchronisation is activated I thought that I would simply delete every pics and videos from my "cloud" and keep everything on my phone. Long story short I didn't found how to do so but I saw a message saying that I could free a good chunk of storage by doing something (I really don't remember sorry).

So I do this and all my freaking photos and videos are missing on my phone and are on my Google photo account. I still have very little storage left and so I wanted to redownload everything and even older pictures/videos since my phone have more than enough storage.

I've looked everywhere and tried everything I could but it seems like I can only download 1 pic a time. I can't select everything or only by doing it month by month and if I select more than 1 picture the option to download disappear.

I'm very angry right now and so upset so I'm sorry if I'm not to understandable (I'm not English too so it doesn't help) but if anyone have an answer or a solution I'll be glad to hear it thank you in advance.
