Google Photos Unlimited Service Ends Soon : How to Backup with Google Takeout?

How’s google one subscription plans

Pixel 4a back in stock. Whoever needs unlimited photos storage grab asap

Google Photos was best…I have saved almost 50k photos there!!
I personally liked the PEOPLE feature where all photos of particular person was grouped.

Any alternative suggestion and where PEOPLE feature is also there
Or else I have to go with Google ONE

I am a student
In this lockdown and semester going online almost all photos I have is notes
Google might be fed up with reading notes of students like ours and that too soo many
So they’re doing this nkw

Damn, I already used half of my 115Gb

Nice post

All photos and videos you back up in High quality before June 1, 2021 are exempt from this change and will not count toward your Google Account storage. This includes all of your existing content uploaded in High quality.

Got the above from Google, it means we don’t have to do anything for photos currently in Google photos right ? Anything uploaded after June 21 only will be accounted for the 15gb quota.

But the photos already stored there till July 2021,will be exempted, going forward only storage will be charged. THIS IS WHAT I could excerpt from that .

Which is best alternate…

MS office offers 1TB one drive space for 6 users at ~5000 rs per year . Sounds a good deal to go for . That’s like 70rs per month for 1TB .

Amazon photo provide unlimited storage to its prime member

Any other alternatives .. free storage and.. good interface like g photos

Photos already stored or before 1 June 2021 will be exempted from storage usage.
Why we need to backup?

Buy a Pixel phone. You won’t lose this freebie. If you need cloud storage like me, pixel will make so much more sense from now. I bought a Pixel phone 3 years back. I uploaded so many photos and videos, I must have a dedicated server for myself in Google by now. 😂

The existing photos won’t be counted in the limit. So No need to transfer out

This is really a bad news, I’ve been using Google photos since 2012. I think I’ve almost 1 lakh of photos. How to bear such transfer time and what if it wouldn’t be backup or transfer properly. Google is playing bad. The true colour of Google can be seen..

Just make another account 🥺🥺
And 30gb is sufficient for Normal people i suppose.
But, Google somewhere sometime offered unlimited storage (for photos)(correct if it is wrong) so……..

Absolutely disastrous news!

I transferred my takeout to Onedrive but all the metadata is missing (date taken, camera model etc)!! Google should get their sh::it together!

How to check how much space I’m using?

Vu+ kg+ bro

I was worried this.. thank you

Thanks bro

The most popular image & video cloud storage service Google Photos will soon end its unlimited space availability for users in India. Starting June 1 2021, you will have to pay to use Google Photos if you exceed the 15GB storage limit. The paid plans will be rolled out soon. In this case, if you want to backup your photos & videos then Google Takeout is the tool to your rescue.

Google Takeout will help you backup your Photos and Videos into your Google account, after which you can export it to your account with another free service provider. The format of exporting is given under “Multiple Formats” so you can check it out there.
