There is an awful flaw in the way Google Photos backs up photos from my Samsung phone which is driving me crazy.
The app seems to completely ignore all the subfolders in DCIM folder and just back up everything all bundled up together in one big timeline. There is also no functionality to exclude any of the subfolders from backing up and freeing up space (you can include/exclude device folders, but that's another thing).
I had some photos organized into several albums (subfolders in DCIM) and the 'Free up space' thing completelly messed them up (deleted most of the older photos and videos) and since the app did not replicate the album/folder hierarchy on the Google Photos servers, it effectively destroyed all my work and I would need to invest hours and hours to recreate those albums by going through the timeline, searching for specific photos and creating new albums from scratch.
This is just unnaceptable and I can't believe how one of the biggest tech corporations in the world can make such a flawed, messed up app.
Hi!
Does anyone knows how to find publicly shared google photos albums? Is there a website listing a selection of public albums?
Thanks
I am very confused about how Google photos works, alongside the library tab in the Google photos app.
I seem to be able to create an album from Google photos, but I can't find any albums on Instagram when I go to upload pictures to my page. I am only able to find folders that have been created in the library section of the app.
I also can't move photos from "folders" to "albums" or "albums" to "folders".
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!
I've got nearly a decade worth of cell phone pics in my Google Photos and am trying to sort them by album so they're more organized. However I notice when I move a photo to an album, it doesn't actually move the photo.... it just has it under the general "photos" section and then also in the album. If I move it and then try to delete it from "photos", it wants to delete it from both photos and the album I have it saved in. Is there a way to remove the photo from the general "photos" section and have it only in the album I'm putting it in??
