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

[@gogliko]

I have been using this method to save photos and videos for almost 2 years now and have saved more than 20 terabytes in original sizes, I hope that Google will not block this feature.

[@neilmossey]

That's awesome - yes, fingers crossed it keeps going! thanks for the kind comment ᲒᲝᲒᲚᲘᲙᲝ ᲤᲘᲤᲘᲐ

[@maximebai5609]

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 😮

[@LaLaRichy22]

Everything is currently downloading, sharing, and freeing up storage. Thank you!!🙂

[@vicromellegaspi6867]

Amazing thankyou so much

[@user-oe6lh6gj6d]

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?

[@chrisnowakvlogs]

You're amazing!! I was so upset at Google for dropping the free unlimited photo and video storage on their new pixel devices. I was totally at a loss on what to do for photo storage. Now, as long as this exists, I'll be good to go! No more pixels for me! Any other phone will do just fine :) You're a genius. Thank you.

[@neilmossey]

Thanks for the kind comment Chris - hope it's still working for you (it's still working for me!) Good luck with your Google Photos

[@sheyedbeltunon4870]

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 :(

[@donnagordon3563]

OMG! Neil I'm going to give this a try, thank you for the info!

[@neilmossey]

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!

[@FS-qh5dw]

UR A GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Seriously I have been trying to figure out a way to free up my google photos without deleting them for years Idk why I never thought of this....But I am sooooooo glad I came across this video! Thank u thank u thank soo much for making this!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 😍🙇🏼‍♀️❤️

[@tommetje13]

this doesnt work anymore. Ive set up and alt-account and linked them. Then I auto-saved from both accounts. Ive deleted one picture from the main account and see if it would still be visible on the alt-account. Unfortunately it is not visisble.

[@camping_guru_uk]

Hi, I followed one of your vids and I've gone from 13gb used to now 7gb and of course I have 15gb on my new photo Google account and have all my photos on there as well, crazy. Thank you so much.

[@neilmossey]

Hi Thanks for the kind comment - hope something here helps. I deleted off the photos from my phone before the new account so that it wouldn't fill the new account. You probably dont need to see another video, but I go through the process step by step here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3jCf2d3o7GAn68 Thanks again and good luck with your Google photos storage!

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

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.

[@chunyehlim5428]

[@neilmossey]

Thank you for the kind comment Zenon, I appreciate it. Hope something here helps.

[@TarekFaham]

I'm a little confused. You are doing this sharing across multiple google accounts from one single Android device. Meaning that when setting up backing up to cloud storage, from account 1 and account 2 on the same physical Android device you will end up duplicating the backup of your photos from one device to account 1 and account 2. Did I miss anything? Unless you follow a strict approach to draw a line between the backup to account 1 and account 2. Meaning, when account 1 is full, you must delete all the backed up photos from your device and switch over to account 2. Is that correct?

[@paigevollmer2695]

Not true anymore.😩 i just deleted a photo from account one and it also deleted from the share in account 2 😢

[@joeglennaz]

This is a great idea! You just got a new subscriber. Thank you.

[@chikumbutsosakala5262]

Can you deleted shared photos in account 1 and still have them in account 2? That's the whole for me. I would like to leave my account 1 free from all photos.

[@Robust9209]

I dont know if google changed this. now after i enabled sharing. and deleted pics from the main account it also disappears from the shared ac.

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?

[@neilmossey]

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!

Really sorry to hear this. Can I ask if 'auto save' is switched on? The auto save setting should appear in the 'sharing' tab on desktop or in the app: Photos settings - sharing - partner sharing Hope this helps

[@DavidTheAppleTechGuy]

I’m kinda confused, I’ve created both Google accounts and I shared both accounts. Do I have to upload photos to one account and wait until it also saves to the shared account? If so do I have to delete the already backed up photos from the first account to continue to backup new photos?

[@yoyoh0neysingh]

[@SteveJohnSteele]

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.

[@MrNutz527]

damn, if you delete photos from the oringinal account,. it says photo not found in the shared photos from the new account :(

[@nkansasampson9659]

Very educative, thanks. I have a question; after connecting Account 2 (new) to my google photo app on my phone and switching back up on, it started backing up my old pictures on my phone which is already backed up in my account 1 (old ). 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 ?

[@protomotive]

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.

[@christelwaltman5351]

Brilliant! Just BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for putting this video out there!!!

[@kunalvyas3092]

But won't the new account will start backing all the photos that you have in your phone 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?

[@randomystery_99]

Same question

[@LanceRazon]

does it still work ? What if I remove partner sharing? will it be gone to my main acccount? I will be deleting my main google photos account,

[@aditya234567]

Hi Neil, I guess this is FREE storage only if u dont delete the photos from original account. Once you delete photos on original account, They count as storage on the new account?? Isnt it so?

[@neilmossey]

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

[@elisassoon5791]

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?

[@neilmossey]

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

[@eLiV8t]

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)

[@davidx6912]

So, what did I do wrong? I set up the sharing, and to test it, deleted some photos from account 1, which also got deleted in account 2!

[@Sto_Resume]

What I suspect is that Google will kindly ask you to pay for the maximum storage plan cold turkey one day if you use this loophole. It may be left alive for that purpose actually. And maybe even ask for arrears because your attitude went against T&C

[@markjh1111]

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.

[@Nero100PrezyAura]

Hey Neil This is a great video big pro tip detail…if your pics are not backed up it won’t work because your storage is full. So with the new account your sharing with you must perform the back up before you start deleting pics?????

Doesn't make sense that the photos are still there when you are removed as a partner by the "sharer" of the photos, even if they don't delete anything on their account. This is indeed an unlimited storage loophole that is just too good to be true and Google may soon catch on.

[@neilmossey]

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!

Million dollar question will it preserve image size so the person your sharing with can print original image size???

[@neilmossey]

Great question - if it were me I guess it would depend on how big I wanted to print. I've printed these at 6x4" and they look perfect to me but if I were into printing high res or onto larger canvasses then I'd probably rely on saving them to a hard drive as a backup, which is what I do. Hope this helps

[@doseofreality420marianetti2]

Thanks for asking: Can I ask if you know if you have "auto save" activated? Download is working for me on the shared account, if that helps.

[@RussianBot-0509]

Perfect! But what would happen if I removed the partner account? Will the photos you already saved take up any space?

[@p4damczyk]

And what if google someday says: ok, that's enough. Your partner from account 1 deleted photos long time ago so we delete these photos too. You all are risking many memories by losing these photos without any chance to backup it before google delete them. Think about that how risky is this

[@jeongiiinnie]

that is true I wanted to continue but I feel like Google may do something. Technically we aren’t really doing anything wrong we are using the feature for what it was made for sharing photos and videos but deleting on main so storage doesn’t go up. I don’t really see the issue in that if that’s the case Google should’ve never made the feature

[@neilmossey]

Hi thanks for the kind comment Yes- but... I personally do it the other way round. I use the 2nd new account for photos which are shared to my original account, so I have everything there which is searchable, and I delete off the larger ones from the 2nd new account. They then remain in my original account taking up no storage allowance. Obviously, whichever way you do this, make sure auto save is enabled and do a test to make sure you're not losing anything you want to lose. I backup all my pictures from my phone to hard drive anyway. Good luck and thanks again.

[@Devilupz]

@@neilmossey thank you for replying! Yeah I just did a backup of my phone into my hard drive anyways lol. I don't primarily use GP for storage..

Hi thanks for the kind question - it sounds as if "Auto save" isn't switched on. Go into the sharing tab on a desktop or phone in Google Photos and the option to "Auto save" should be there.

Can you and should you turn back ON backup and sync on both accounts AFTER doing the above partner sharing?

[@neilmossey]

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!

[@ahavaaniki2336]

Hii Neil, will the photos remain in the 2nd Google account, if I delete my 1st Google account

[@truthmatters7805]

[@K.now.f1]

Hiii just a question, once all the photos has been shared to the other account, can we delete them from the original account ?? Or will it get deleted from my device too ??

[@joannejames2485]

well you are a little god send Neil, it's worked a treat, thank you 😁

[@unfixedmind]

Unfortunately if you delete your photos from rubbish bin then your picture will be removed from both account so this tricks isn't working

Neil, I have watched all your videos on getting free Google Photos storage by sharing on additional Google accounts. I am still not clear on certain parts. Here is what I have done. Google 1 has 10 gb of Google Photos. Google 2 is a new account just created. So I shared all photos of Google 1 with Google 2. Google 2 accepted the invite and save all photos. Then I turn off the share and both 1 & 2 have the same photos. Google 2 shows storage of zero. Now I have seen some comments (not necessary from your video), saying if the photos on google 1 are deleted, the photos on Google 2 also disappear. That seemed to make more sense to me since Google 2 is on its own and how can it have photos that take no storage space? What am I missing?

[@neilmossey]

Hi thanks for the kind question and making it super clear. When I delete photos from Google 1, they remain on Google 2 for me. I'm astounded, but they are still there. When you click on the 'i' icon for more info it confirms the photo in Google 2 is original quality and takes up no storage space. The best way to test it is naturally take a test photo you don't mind using, let it sync then delete it in Google 1. What might be happening with the people commenting this does not work for them is to double check which account your phone is syncing with. I have turned off backup and sync in my phone app for Google 1 and leave it logged into Google 2. If I do change that login on the phone app to Google 1 for any reason, it won't start syncing my phone with that account because I have backup turned off within the app. Hope this makes sense and good luck with your trial. I can only say it's still working for me like a dream.

​@@neilmossey It doesn't work for me idk why When i delete the photo from the copy one it will deleted also in my original one ! Thanks for helping Big brother. ❤

[@neilmossey]

@@AS.MA_ So sorry to hear this - checked it again and my deletions from the 'photos' account - which is on active backup from my phone - still remain in the account they are shared to. And I make sure that account has backup switched off on my phone, but the phone is set to sync with the 'photos' account. Hope you can get this to work somehow because it sounds quite frustrating for you that it isn't! Hope also that 'auto save' is turned on, on both accounts, for safety. wondering if it's syncing back to the 2nd account which is deleting it? Maybe if nothing else works, turning off Partner share from the shared account to the photos account, so that the share is only in one direction from the photos account to the shared account? Either way, good luck with your storage and thanks again for your kind message.

Hi sir , i am unable to find the link in the description for opening a new google account for creating a sharing account , can u help with it , much appreciated thank you

[@1VikingBrute3]

Google brought the cap to 15gb now not 50gb it's ridiculous..

[@downriverjordan]

Am I doing it wrong? Google seems to limit me to ONE PARTNER for sharing.

[@neilmossey]

Hi, thanks for the kind question. You're doing it absolutely right: One way round this is to partner share - both ways - so share from one account to the other, and make sure you turn on auto save. Then when you remove the partner share, the photos remain in your 'other' account. You can then share with another account and auto-save with that account - if you need to 'combine' photos into one account. Also, what I do now is just stay with one Partner Share account - then with auto save enabled, if you delete photos and videos from the 'photos' share account, they remain in the shared account, so you can always keep the Photos account under 15GB. Be careful to double check and test it though so you don't lose anything valuable - it seems to work for me though. Hope this helps and thanks again

[@user-mm9nr4ne6w]

Doesn’t work, original account gets full and photos don’t stay if you delete ..what a shame I discovered so late

[@pamarena3480]

Hi Neil....in the partner sharing, if I add my desktop computer email account as the partner I am sharing with, does that mean my photos are going to go to my desktop email, or will it be another folder on my phone? I don't want them all to go to my desk top computer

[@Murino156jomokoina]

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.

[@neilmossey]

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.

[@maximebai5609]

@@neilmosseydoes that work? Since your account 1 gets in real a shortcut of photos shared from account 2, if you delete them from account 2, the shortcuts point to nothing then how could you consume the photos again?

[@user-oe6lh6gj6d]

@@maximebai5609same doubt, as the photos was deleted by account 1 and was shared to account 2 (partner sharing) so how can we access them in account 2 without evenusing the storage of account 2?

[@Nero100PrezyAura]

You never mentioned backing up the photos Which is the most important part!! You have to back up the new account before you start deleting

[@eLiV8t]

Can you elaborate?

[@eLiV8t]

Do you mean save the to the account? It would be far more then 15G.

[@4056yates]

I appreciate all the tips but you didn't cover how to deal with phone backup in purple my account says phone backup is taking up 19 GB

[@neilmossey]

Thanks for the kind comment and sorry to hear this. Do you think it's photos/videos taking up most of the 19GB? If it were me, I would set up Partner Sharing so that all the photos and videos can be shared safely to a 'photos' account - the shared photos will not take up the quota in the 'photos' account. And I would back up the phone to a hard drive/external drive/memory stick so the photos are totally safe and saved. And then delete them from the account which is full with 19GB to bring it under. Then set the 'photos' account to be your backup account and make sure 'auto save' is turned on so that when they are deleted from the original account, they remain saved in the shared account. It's not ideal, but hope something here helps.

[@4056yates]

Yes, when I look at storage manager. It shows 26% of the 100 GB. That I purchase for 49 cents a month. Broken down in 3 categories, phone backup 19 GB Google Photos, 4.4 GB and Gmail 3.3 GB. And I don't know how to clean up. The phone backup or the Gmail. I deleted all my text and phone call history. And it didn't save anything hardly. Could it be music? I have stored on my phone that accounts us back up data

[@FeruMohammed]

Can we share multiple accounts to a single account?

[@neilmossey]

Hi thanks for the kind message. You can, but only one account at a time. So partner share with auto save with one account, get those photos shared and saved (which takes up no storage allowance) Then break the partnership and partner share with another account, and auto save etc etc. Hope this helps

[@FeruMohammed]

@@neilmossey Auto save will result in memory consumption r8? I have a main account whose storage is full. I had created multiple accounts to store my photos. I want to share all these accounts to my main account. Currently I'm only able to share only one account with my main account.

[@crazyeyeskillah]

Hi Neil, this is fantastic, great set of videos. My only question is, can you photo share with more than 1 account. I can't see an option to add a 3rd account.

[@neilmossey]

Hi thanks for the kind comment - since the video, you can only partner share with one account... but if you use auto save you can "share' once with an account long enough for it to save everything and then share with another account and the pictures from that first share still remain! Hope this helps and good luck with your storage

[@crazyeyeskillah]

@@neilmossey Awesome, thanks for the advice, not all heroes wear capes!
