Optimise your Google Photos storage

To optimize your Google Photos storage, follow these steps: 1. Change Upload Quality (If Not Already) • Open Google Photos - Tap your profile picture - Photos settings - Backup & Sync - Upload size. • Select Storage saver (compresses images and videos to save space without significant quality loss). 2. Use Google’s Storage Management Tool • Visit Google One Storage Manager. • Google will suggest deleting: • Large files • Blurry photos • Screenshots • Duplicates • Unnecessary videos 3. Manually Delete Unwanted Photos & Videos • Open Google Photos and search for: • “Screenshots” (delete unnecessary ones) • “Blurry” (remove bad shots) • “WhatsApp” or “Telegram” (if auto-backup is on, delete unimportant images) • Old downloads and memes 4. Free Up Device Storage (Without Losing Cloud Backup) • Open Google Photos - Profile Picture - Free up space. • This will remove locally stored photos that are already backed up. 5. Remove Large Videos • In Google Photos, search “Videos” ~ Sort by size - Delete unnecessary ones. 6. Disable Backup for Unnecessary Folders • Open Google Photos ~Profile Picture ~ Photos settings ~ Backup & Sync ~ Back up device folders. • Turn off backup for WhatsApp, Screenshots, Telegram, or other apps you don’t need in the cloud. 7. Archive Instead of Deleting • Move less important photos (like bills or receipts) to the Archive instead of keeping them in your main feed. 8. Check Google Account Storage Usage • Go to Google One and see what’s using the most space (Photos, Drive, Gmail). 9. Empty Trash • Deleted photos stay in the Trash for 60 days before being permanently removed. • Open Google Photos - Library -Trash - Empty Trash. 10. Upgrade to Google One (If Needed) • If you still need more storage, consider a Google One plan (100GB starts at around €1.99/month). #GooglePhotos #StorageTips #FreeUpSpace #StorageSaver #GoogleOneStorage #StorageManagement #technology #tech #hacks
