Google has decided that backing up your photos via Google Drive is ' confusing' and so Drive based backup is going away this month. I have a tool that does some deduplication and puts everything in year/month folders. My personal approach at this point is to use Google Takeout to get a periodic archive of my most recent year of photos and videos. The Google Photos API has too many bugs that Google doensn't seem interested in fixing. Changes you make on one side won’t necessarily be reflected on the other.Warning - I no longer recommend using this script to backup Google Photos. It doesn’t work both ways, though, it doesn’t sync. Google is also releasing a migration tool in July which will allow you to shift all of your photos and videos over from Google Drive to Google Photos. Google says the decision to separate them is to help avoid confusion. If you use the desktop Backup and Sync app for Windows or Mac, then you are still able to send photos from your computer’s storage up to both Google Drive and Google Photos, but it will upload a duplicate to each service, rather than simply sharing the same space, meaning each image is taking up twice as much of your cloud storage.Īccording to NDTV, Google says that this is in an effort to simplify things and to prevent accidental deletions in Drive to be synced up to Photos. If you want to keep them synced to both, though, there is an option. After the change, you’ll only be able to upload to either one service or the other, but not both. The new two new separate storage services will not automatically keep each others photos in sync.
