How to get Unlimited Google Photos storage for FREE with Partner Sharing!

How to get FREE unlimited storage on Google Photos!
And How to backup photos on Google Photos.
I think you can also use this to transfer all your Google photos to another Google account.
Have you hit your 15GB storage limit on Google Photos (and Google Drive and Google One)? I try out this easy method to use Partner Sharing in Google Photos to get free online unlimited storage of photos and videos. The way I'm using is 1) Create a new Google account.
2) Share photos and videos with that account within the Google Photos app using the Partner Sharing option.
3) Accept the Partner Sharing request in BOTH Google accounts
4) Turn on Auto Save in both accounts
5) Delete photos in the new account, the photos will REMAIN undeleted in the shared account.
This might change over time, but I have tested removing the Partner Sharing link, and all the shared photos and videos remain in my other account.
IF IT IS NOT WORKING - AND WHEN YOU DELETE ON THE NEW ACCOUNT, THE PHOTOS DISAPPEAR ON THE 'OLD/ORIGINAL/SECOND' ACCOUNT:
This is how I do it:
I called Account 1 my old account - the one which is nearly full. I do not keep Google Photos on my phone logged into this account, I have turned off 'backup and sync' in this account.
Account 2 is my new account. I've called it my 'photos' account.
The Google Photos app on my phone is logged into this new account
(all other Google apps on my phone are on account 1)
I have backup and sync turned on in the Google Photos app.
Here's what might have happened:
Have you activated "Auto Save" on Account 1?
(I've activated it for account 2 too but account 1 is crucial)
This step is shown at 4:15 in the video.
I've also partnered and accepted Partner Sharing in the other direction as well.
So going into partner sharing on Account 2 and sharing with account 1.
I'm not sure if that would help.
I just did this because I can.
ALSO make sure Auto save has the correct setting:
On the Google Photos phone app, logged into the 'shared account' which isn't saving - click the sharing tab, then the 'partner sharing' bar showing which account is sharing, then the 3 dots on the top right
then 'settings'
- it should show "Save to your account" - "all photos"
OR on a desktop:
Go to photos.google.com then the cog at the top, for 'settings'
then Partner sharing, click the triangle to pull down the menu
Make sure "save to account" shows "all photos"
If it's not this, the only other thing is to make sure that the shared account that isn't saving, does not have backup turned on on your phone, otherwise the phone will be synching with both accounts if you flip between the two, and possibly removing pictures.
Hope something here helps make this work for you!
My biggest advice would be - for safety - to download all of your Google Photos and videos to backup locally. This video shows

    Then that's a great bug at google, these photos belong to nobody since they are shared by account 2, and deleted by account 2, but someone on internet like account 1 still has access that means google doesnt really delete them 😮

    What if i upload let's say 1 GB of photos on my Account 1 and share them (partner sharing) with Account 2 and save them in Account 2 (as mentioned in this video) then I delete them from Account 1, will I still be able to access those photos from Account 2? How long they'll available to me? Is there any chances google will delete those photos as they were deleted from Account 1 but still accessible by Account 2?

    Thanks for the kind message Donna. Hope this helps and fingers crossed it works for you. Don't forget to activate the AUTO SAVE option after the partner link is made, so that photos are saved in the shared account even if you delete them from the first account. They take up no storage quota and appear as original quality! Good luck with your Google Photos storage and thanks again!

    Nice that you found this solution to work around Google's way to limit the maximum storage capacity of your free Google Photo account without paying a few $ to expand that limit. The question is, however, what is more important to you. Saving a few $ and enjoying your day or spending hours jumping around digital hoops, setting up accounts, logging in and out, and remembering the different passwords. Not to mention that some of the useful Google features like building Albums etc. are not working unless you want to spend hours transferring files back and forth.

    The problem I ran into was with the phone number used to verify the account when creating a new account. It seems a phone number can only be used 5 time (I only have 1 Google account) but somehow I have reached that maximum. Maybe if the same phone number is using in other accounts (non Google)? Its something to be aware of.

    I have been sharing for over three years, but because the photos are for my child to be able to have when he grows, without having to access my lifetime gmail account, Im still afraid of erasing and be surprised that gmail changes policy, and then my child doesnt have lifetime memories... Im paying storage because I have not deleted the photos...and Im thinking an external drive is going to be my best second option to gurantee the preservation of a lifetime memory for my child. Still dont trust google fully to this task :(

    Thanks for the kind comment, and sorry to hear this @teaaftersex Can I check you haven't missed a step? The reason if you delete from the 1st account and they are deleted from the second account is usually because 'auto save' is not turned on. It's covered at 4:16 in the video. Is auto save switched on and the photos in one account are being deleted in the second account? Because it's working fine for me with my partner sharing - I would be very interested if the 2nd account is deleting with 'auto save' turned on. I've even removed the partner share pairing and the photos remain. Hope this helps!

    One problem... Once your second Google photos account fills up, and you need to create, say a third Google account for another 15Gb, will you then need to stop sharing with account#2 which means that all those photos will disappear/be deleted from the main(1st) Google account. Am I correct??? My understanding is that you can only share with one partner at a time.

    Hi Neil, Just wanted to say thank you because your other tips have helped so much already. I am just a bit confused about this system because I can't seem to get google to only back up new photos I take? I have four google accounts on my phone and it shows all the photos from each on each other (but only backs it up to one). If i switch my backup account it just fills the new account will all the same photos from the other account and when I delete them it deletes both of them. What do I do?

    Hi thanks for the kind message Elisa - it's so frustrating. I declared a year zero with my phone and backed it up to a hard drive to be totally safe, and then started the new account with new photos only. I deleted the old pictures from my phone - knowing they're safe on a hard drive and in my original Google Account. (This also stopped my phone filling up to maximum) It meant the 'new' photos account only had 'new' photos, and I partner share it with my very old personal account that I use daily so that everything is in one place. It's not ideal but it stops my phone from maxing out any new Google account. Thanks for letting me know I didn't share this as best as I can in the video. Hope something here helps and good luck with your storage. Thanks again

    Ok so im thinking that apon sync with new photos to new account he then dumps phots from phone to hard drive the sheres that account to his old daily account to have access from one account to 2 accounts worth which is only 30G. But this can be done from many accounts to one daily account that youd have to turn sync off in order to not allow your daily to upload your photos. Only have one new account sync photos. Whenever one accout sync is full 15G all photos would have to be moved from phone to hard drive to then open another accout that you would share to your daily. Phew. I get it now. Its a lot but sounds like it should work. If you dont need the original photos on your phone that is. The clean sweep and new account would have to be done every 15G which isnt much now days. Managing so many accounts wouldnt be too hard since you would only access those accounts through the partner sharing once the 15G is full. I swear this almost has to be a class for most to understang fully. Why is it that google photos is the only place we trust to save photos? Is there trustable options elsewhere that wont reduce the size or delete photos? In my experience Google photos has deleted many of my oldest photos without my permission. But also Google photos is the only place my old photos exsist anymore. All other have been lost. (In my experience)

How can I set back up date to start from the day I link account 2 (new) to my google app on my phone ? Or how can I stop account 2 (new) from backing up my old photos on my phone gallery ?

    Yup, I ran into the same issue and queried BARD/Gemini about that issue. without using a third party app, it's not possible. Google automatically will backup everything on your phone it can find. so unless you move ALL of your old photos to another directory and mark it for DO NOT BACKUP, it will back them up.

    Thank you for providing a detailed video; it has been incredibly helpful. I followed the steps accordingly and I'm pleased to report that it worked for me. However, I did encounter one issue: when I delete a photo from the original location, it also gets deleted from the partner account. Is there a step that I might have overlooked?

    Hi Marwan Thanks for the kind comment and really pleased you've managed to set up Partner Sharing! There's only one step now and that is to switch on AUTO SAVE On a desktop or laptop, go to google.photos.com and click on the sharing tab on the left hand side There should be a really big button offering to auto save If not, click on the cog at the top of the screen Click on partner sharing then click save to your account On a phone, click on the partner sharing tab the option to auto save should be there, if not, go into settings as above Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't work Good luck with your Google Photos!

    Hey Niel, I love the content. I have a question. How can I stop Google Photos from automatically grabbing every pic/video that I take ? I'm using a samsung Galaxy s20 ultra 5g, and every time I take a picture, Google Photos gets it. I would like to be able to select what goes into it myself and not have everything just automatically go into it

    Thanks for the kind question. We can only backup to one account at a time, so if it helps, what I do is after setting up the partner sharing... I backed up all my pictures to a hard drive/external drive/memory card for safety. Make sure the Google Photos app is set to my 'photos' account, and turn on backup to there in Settings. Hope this helps!

    Hiya Neil, great content! I have a question: My photos are backing up to account 2 however I can see that storage is being taken up and I have almost 95gb of photos in my original account. (I pay for the 100gb storage plan). I'm worried that my photos will stop sharing to the 2nd account once 15gb has been reached. I understood that no storage amount would be taken up in the second account, however I can see that 7gb of 15gb has already been used in the 2nd account. What would you suggest I do in this case? Looking forward to your reply and thanks for providing such useful and valuable information.

    Hi, sorry it's taken so long to reply. Hope I am understanding your question properly. For me, the 2nd (new) account is filling up, and will eventually hit 15GB so I am going to have to delete videos from 2nd (new) account, hoping that they will remain saved in account 1 (my old, original account). Hope this helps.

    Hi @aditya234567 Thanks for the kind question: With partner sharing, if you turn on auto save, the photos shared from the 'photos' account to the 'original' account do not count as storage on the shared account. Plus they are shared at original quality, even if storage saver is turned on! They do count as storage on the 'photos' account, but if auto save is switched on, when you delete them from the 'photos' account they remain in the shared account, so the photos account can always be kept under 15GB. Hope this helps

    A couple questions... I keep the original photo on my phone still. After deleting the photos from the account will google photos re sync them again when synching the new photos? I assume yes. Over the years google photos has deleted many of my oldest photos from my accout without my permission. So i do not delete originals anymore. Although the only old photos i have left are the ones on google photos from loosing/breaking phones or laptops so niether is reliable. My issues right now is too many duplicates taking up space across 3 accounts from sync same photos. Also, doesnt sharing the photo then deleting the original photo make the shared photo not able to reload since its been deleted??

    Hi thanks for the great questions - I find this confusing, so it's helpful to be asked these! When I've deleted from the photos app, and the photo is still on the phone, I'm finding that it doesn't re-sync or re-back it up, bizarrely. I dont know how it knows And About every 6 months I back up to hard drive and delete things from my phone to stop the phone filling up. It's true that neither is reliable! The good news is that sharing the photo then deleting it from the 'photos' account does not delete it from the shared account. Also, even better, even though the photos account is saver quality, the copy in the shared account is Original quality(!) - (Click on the "i" on the photo in the shared account - it gives the details). I regularly do test deletions to make sure it still works and for safety - and it still works. I've even un-paired the shared accounts to test if that removes the shared photos, and it does not. Hope this helps and thanks again.

Let's say I have photos from 2017 to 2023 in my phone and which are also backed up in my original account "2017", then if I make another account "2023", it will again backup all the photos from 2017 to 2023 in 2023 account, so on and so forth. Is there any way out without deleting the photos from phone or moving them to a separate folder?

    Hi Ian, thanks for the kind comment and questions. It can take a few hours, but I think some people report that Google Photos is showing that it is still compressing long after it has actually finished compressing. It takes internet when backing up photos from your phone, but not when it is compressing. You can close the window and it will happen in the cloud. Hope I've understood your questions correctly and good luck!

    Hi Kristen, - thanks for the kind comment and question: Yes, it's safe BUT this is what I do: - make sure that Auto Save is turned on. It's easy to take a test photo, let it be synced/shared and then delete it to confirm it doesn't disappear in the shared-to account. - Back up your phone to a storage card, computer, memory stick or hard drive (or all of them!) periodically for safety I've even partner shared, with other accounts then removed that account (you can only partner share one at a time) and the photos remain in my shared-to account to this day. Hope this helps and good luck with your Google Photos.

I would partner share that account to my original account so all the photos can be seen from there without taking up space. It would also also - if I'm feeling brave and after a test - allow me to delete photos from the new account to keep that under the limit, while the shared photos are still safely shared to my original account.
