New Google photos capability

If you:

  • have an android phone,
  • use Google Photos, and
  • take a lot of pictures,

Google has a Google Photos update, you may find very helpful.

A new setting option within Google photos (just go to settings) allows you to upload photos to the Google photos cloud and then delete the photos from your phone.

The idea seems to be to offer users the opportunity to free up valuable storage space assuming they can access photos when desired to show others. The service does not remove images until it knows the images exist in the cloud.

Note that many individuals have decided to use the free “high quality” online storage option with Google photos. Translate this as – the free version. I understand this means I am accepting lower quality stored images when I backup images taken with my camera. I am not certain if some phones high enough quality images that uploaded images would also be downgraded.
