With the improvement in the photographic capabilities of mobile phones and tablets that we can buy in Europe, it is normal that users take a greater number of photos and videos than a few years ago. The problem may be where to easily store these imagesbut fortunately, there are a large number of apps focused on creating backup copies of all your memories.
Google Photos is undoubtedly one of the best platforms that exist for this purpose. Although its size is limited to 15 GB free – and you can get more – it is not only capable of storing images, but also hides other options
This can even be useful in those moments when the mobile phone warns us that we have little internal storage space left, a situation that, in general, can only be solved by carefully cleaning the device or purchasing some a new.
Save space on your mobile
How Google Photos works when creating a backup copy of the images and videos that we have on our mobile is quite simple. Firstly, the application marks certain folders as synchronized and each time one of them receives a new item, it will be uploaded to the platform. When this is achieved, said element will be present both on the mobile and in the cloud storage space.
This makes him present in both places at the same time. The trick here to save on your mobile is cause the deletion of these elements from internal memory, but continue in Google Photos so that if we want to use them or see them they are available.
You have to be careful, because when you press the conventional delete button, the said item will disappear from both internal memory and cloud storage. To delete a photo or video only from internal memory, simply open it and drag it down. This will display additional options including Remove from device. After that, the image remains accessible from the platform and from any device.
Another way to do this is to click on the profile picture in the app and click on the Free up space option. The library will be scanned for items saved to both sites and deleted. The amount of space that will be freed after this will appear.
