I would like to compliment you on this extremely informative and easy to follow video! You have enlightened me no end! I followed your instructions step by step. I had already recuperated storage by doing my own thing but this video REALLY enabled me to clear up even more space! Awesome stuff. Even for a silver surfer this was soooo easy to follow! I shall be passing this video onto others. Thanks so very much.

Wow! I got 200 GB of storage back, just by compressing my photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I don't think even Google knows more than this guy about the Google environment. Very helpful information. Much needed and appreciated.

I always learn something new with your videos. The other thing you want to delete in GMAIL is Spam which also counts towards your storage. And, as I understand it, ALL MAIL doesn't just include your archived mail but it includes your inbox and everything else. It is a way to access your archived items but it includes everything.

Ya you have to be very careful with this, as I just tested it and if you delete from Inbox it is gone in All Mail, and if you delete in All Mail it is gone in Inbox (and both test emails ended up in the Trash); All Mail doesn't really seem to be a back-up of everything (or Archive as he calls it), they are live interlinked.

You didn’t put the search queue from 11:19 in the description. I’ve been watching you for almost a decade! Thanks for the amazing videos!

Love your videos! Just found you yesterday and am loving your personality, humor, and great content! Heart is with you re losing your fur baby. I totally get the terrible loss 🥰 looking forward to your future vids! 🙏🏻

My personal suggestion for "duplicates", which are most often multiple shots of the same thing, is to go through them IMMEDIATELY and delete all bar those you actually want to keep! It's a minor pain - caused by the luxury of being able to take so many "free" shots whenever you want - but it's WAY EASIER then going through several thousand later on down the road.... Especially when other people might have disagreed with your selection of what counts as "the best One"!!

Wife and I copy photos, "share", to a Drive "work on this" folder. Then we delete from phone. Then we d/l to desktop computer to decide what we want to keep. Then we clean out Drive folder.

As usual, outstanding information, clearly laid out. I had to play with Takeout last year and did not find it enjoyable. Could not find good instruction like this and then my computer crashed in the middle of the process of storing 12GB onto a portable hard drive. Good thing we were in lock down in that case, gave me time to deal. I sure needed it...

Very informative, and eye-opening! Thank you, this is super helpful.

BRILLIANT THANK YOU - I ALREADY DO SOME OF THIS BUT SOME ADDITIONAL OVERVIEW WAS VERY WELCOME!!!

Great info! Thanks so much Steve.

I use free extra storage from another Gmail account. I have a 'main' Gmail account and several 'secondary" Gmail accounts I mainly use for shopping or other activities like Facebook etc. I dont want them bothering me with e-mails on my main Gmail account. In each of those secondary accounts I have created a shared folder with full rights given to my main account. These folders will show up in my main account as shared folders. That's 15G extra storage from each account! While this may not be convenient for email storage or photos uploaded from your phone, it works very well for uploaded files from your computer like pdf's, spreadsheets and presentations etc.

You need to make sure you log into those secondary accounts on a regular basis as Google deletes non active accounts.

Would like to see a video on how exactly you do this. Why is the extra 15BG of storage no good for photos? Can you not use your secondary email accounts like your primary account and have the 15GB cover all 3 google services ie Gmail, Drive and Photos? Would love hear back from you.

Excellent video - all parts; and to both fix the situation and to avoid it in the first place!

Thank you. I really needed to know that downloading my data is easier than I thought and not worth continuing to procrastinate saving onto an external hard drive.

This was so helpful...easy to follow and great information...thank you!!!

I have been following your invaluable suggestions for years. you are an excellent communicator and teacher. In my case I have accumulated way too many old Gmails. I copy and paste an email address of a frequent emailer in search and get hundreds of the same sender and delete them 100 at the time. Time consuming but worth it.

I watched a lot of videos, and I must say you are the one who is giving usable value here. Cool Work!

Good one Steve, I really wish they gave us a "duplicate tool".

thank you my friend

Dotto! Many Thanks! Now I know how to FREE UP space in my Gmail account! Yeah!

Google One is the company brand for AdWords platforms. It is a global search engine optimisation tool created by Google. It helps advertisers target their ads and to improve performance with bots for automated ad-serving. It has something integral that makes it hard to uninstall from your life forever. Google also offers Ads Manager which is quite useful when you work with multiple ad accounts on different platforms, databases and usage types (ie artificial intelligence? ), data silos and synonyms rules, etc . Thanks for your video, dottotech

I am in exactly the position you mentioned regarding lack of storage. This was very helpful as I shall do "selective backups" to an external HDD. You talk about "backing up" and "downloading" which is slightly confusing. I want to download a COPY (backup) of photos, emails, etc. to an external HDD but obviously, I want my ORIGINAL data to remain on the Google Server ; otherwise this would be "exporting" data...?

Very informative video ❤️❤️🥳🎉

Thanks, Steve. I spent nothing for 100 GB of storage. Nothing because Google has a survey app that "pays" you for answering questions. I had over $26 in credit, so the $20 came out of that. As you yourself pointed out, it is a time trade off. Pay a small amount or pay with my precious time. A no brainer for me. But you didn't mention what also comes with paying for Google One. You get phone/chat/email support on all Google products. This alone is worth it. I had a couple nagging issues and was able to get an answer. Second, you get a few additional editing functions in Google Photos.

Nice ...

Thankyou great easy to understand video my photos and Google Drive are what I'm after not just to add more space to Google storage .but to delete files from my phone. Hopefully it will all work as intended. I definitely won't delete anything till I verify the photos and files are accessible.

Thanks for the videos. What do i need to do to get my layout back to the left adjustment with the icons?

Google Photos does remove duplicate photos, exact duplicate photos. This was good for me since I used to backup to multiple locations so consolidating them was space taxing, due to the multiple copies of the same photo. So when in doubt I just keep uploading the photos to Google Drive. If it's already in my library then it just won't accept the upload. My take on why they don't filter out photos that are very similar: it's for training their face recognition AIs. For my account the face recognition has issues differentiating the faces of my toddler from those of my friends.

Hi this is very helpful, thanks !Could you please explain what happens if you do all the recommended steps if your app are synced and how prevent changes on all apps at once

Thank you I've done probably 8090% of what you talked about but Google's making it tough for me to move my stuff to an SD card and we didn't talk about that. I'm 15 and 15 right now as far as storage so in my memory's way down also but I've got a huge SD card with all kinds of room and they're making it difficult for me to switch it over thank you. I also agree with what you sort of mentioned about a conspiracy theory and sometimes I feel like I'm being strong armed by Google thugs. 😒😎

Great video. I did Google Takeout; how do I delete the voice calls from my google account? Example there is a folder called voice. I do not want google to have this anymore.

the best thing is buy a big hard drive and save your photos and you need to keep buying hard drives of one fails you will all ways have your photos but online your photos a friend of mine said he saw his family photos and other familys if you type in family photos in your area they show up and even if your not login or now not a good idea online

Thank you for the insights. Im new to google photos hence just did a full backup and sync from my iPhone to google photos. I use to backup all old photos into dropbox using folders into google photos albums. Post migrated to google photos, I see many duplicated photos (some from iPhone camera roll and some from dropbox), is there a systematic way to delete those duplicated photos?

This off your current topic, ie. storage but, I have looked and have yet to find "how to navigate a route in Google Maps that I saved offline on my iPhone. Everyone show the saving of maps but no one that I have found yet goes on to show how to use that map and or to navigate a route that I may have saved in anticipation of not having cellular service.

A fatal swoop is a reference to when a hawk or eagle dives down on their prey.

Me: “I should check my Google Drive storage.” Google Drive: “Unlimited.” Gotta love Google Business… or G-Suite… or whatever the new name Google calls it as of today.

G suite is really nice because you get 30 GB of free storage per email address. Now they call it Google Workspace.

when you download emails, will it include the attachments from those emails and can you access them from the computer the emails are downloaded in?

Hi Steve thank you very much for this very informative video. Question: when we save our google photos in google photo albums, does creating albums and organizing photos that way takes more space in your google storage as opposed to saving it loose (chronologically)? Thank you.

@patmacfarland111

No it does not. It just adds labels to the photos. It does not duplicate the photos. There might be a minute increase related to the metadata but not worth worrying about.

If only google would make it easyer to select many photos at once like a list view of files ! Its a pain to selecf them all when you have thousands of them.

The initial page that shows storage wont show up? Just like personal info and settings?

Brilliant dude, can you suggest a local drive (maybe a few terabytes) to use. I have an old one 1 terabyte usb conn, but should prob get bigger. I do have a yt channel hence lots of vid clips & finished videos. Second question is how to download/backup my channel? Thx. :)

This video had A2Z. Specially with no hidden cost (:(:Thank you.

I had a problem with using Takeout for backing up my mail. It downloaded, but I need another application to open the file. Did I miss something? (Saving the photos to an external drive worked very well.)

Also we should have an option to trash the files after take out. We still have to do the extra step.

excellent info all your vids are great.......check out duplicate sweeper it has a free version and i think there are other options now..i personally suck on pc can only do basic functions looking for a good online class now....thanks for the info !!

I've noticed that when you're on Google Photos and you try to delete more then 500 photos at once, web app in browser just does nothing at that point. And on a phone, sometimes it does delete them, sometime it doesn't. Weird stuff.

Great tutorial. I assume deleting Drive & Photos files pre cut off date will not release space

@@dottotech Hi Steve! Please help me make sure I understand this cause it doesn't make sense to me: Deleting photos permanently (trash bin empty and all) does not free up space? So, if I have 2,000 photos that take up 10 GB, and I delete 1,900 of those photos, Google won't free up the space, unless I authorize them to reduce quality for ALL the files?? I've been struggling with these for weeks, Ive deleted thousands of photos, emptied the trash, and apparently the only solution for keeping original photo quality is to pay a subscription??!!! Is it even legal to claim they give you 15GB of storage that only goes up, but never goes down??

dont worry, we pay google by giving them all our personal data and biometrics

Will i have have issues when i want to print my photos

If you're getting the storage message in your email, but you instead move photos out of Google photos, will that eliminate the "running out of storage" message?

most of my waste was because i use it to "backup" my portable application, including browser and browser used too much space for cache and stuff. and every "changed" from cache is still saved, in the bin, but never deleted... (until 30 days, but it's already too big by then) after that, i don't even bother lol

I have done that put photos on the drive. I have 2 drives and one works but the other one says it is unreadable. Do you have any suggestions.

rmb to clear the rubbish bin :)

Does Iphone same issue as Samsung with Google, please?

If i plug google phone into my PC and cut and paste photos from my phone onto PC to free up space on phone will these also be removed from Google Photos to free up some space of 15GB allowance? 🤔
