Don't worry about paying for Google Photos... This trick gives you free unlimited storage.
One of the most popular cloud storage services for photos and videos is Google Photos. It has been a great choice for millions of users since it started in 2015 because it offers free unlimited storage.
But this feature has changed over time, and now it only gives you 15GB of free shared storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. For more storage, you need to subscribe to Google One.
However, there is a simple trick that allows you to continue uploading an unlimited number of images for free by taking advantage of free Google accounts.
With this trick you can get unlimited free storage space on Google Photos
You can create a second Google account with 15GB of free storage. Then, in the Google Photos app, you need to set up this secondary account to back up your new photos. In other words, new photos will be saved to this account, not your primary account. The problem is that your photos will be spread across two accounts.
It might be a little tedious, but it's worth it, because a great feature of Google Photos is the ability to link different accounts using the "Share with a Collaborator" option. You'll find this option in the app's settings, which can be accessed via your profile icon. There, you can share all the photos from your secondary account with your primary account.
Once this feature is enabled, all photos from the secondary account will appear directly in the primary account, as if they were all in one place. You can even search for, edit, or share these photos from the primary account, even though they are physically stored in the secondary account. Just make sure you grant access from the secondary account and enable the autosave option.
Even better, you can repeat this trick with multiple accounts. Each time you do, you'll get an extra 15GB of storage for your photos and videos, completely free and without having to switch accounts. Just remember that backups should always be done from the account with free space and that it should be linked to your main account so you can see everything in one place.
