Ask the Geeks Q&A forum.
Anyone can read the forum, only members can ask questions. This is a valuable benefit of membership. Join Today! Here are some recent discussions:
- Workshop 1 = Getting the most from Google Photos using your smartphones
- Workshop 2 = Gathering photos that were not taken with a phone. Computers, USB drives, other cameras, prints and slides.
- All photos and videos uploaded in “High Quality” before June 1 are stored for free and will be grandfathered in beyond June 1. (So upload everything NOW)
- Even after June 1, Google will still offer unlimited storage for all photos and videos – there just may be a fee.
- Even after June 1, Google will still offer Free storage for all photos and videos – it just has a limit of 15GB.
