If you have photos stored on your Google Drive, and you want to move them to Google Photos, you could download them from Google Drive and then upload them to Google Photos.
But that is really not ideal, it can take a really long time if your internet is slow, and if you have a limit on how much internet you can use every month, you might even be charged extra fees.
But luckily in this video, Timmy shows you how you can transfer photos directly from Google Photos to Google Drive without any downloading or uploading. It's much faster, easier, and doesn't put a strain on your internet connection.

Thank you so much! It was so simple, I wasted SO much time before this video*
No problem, glad you found it helpful!
THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT AND SO HELPFUL! Explains absolutely everything you needed to know and more, like why the photos don't show at the top because they keep their original "taken" date. Thank you Timmay!!
No problem Crystal, glad you found it helpful! 👍
Thank you very much. That is exactly what I have wanted to do for weeks.
No problem, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
Thanks bro ☺️. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
mate, I've looked for that for weeks, reading all the FAQs and tutorials and guidances and daaaamn it was right here on youtube, many thanks!
No problem, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
@@techtimewithtimmy well, actually google pictures just got frozen as I have 4Gb of pictures and I have been holding down arrow for 20 minutes. So it is an idea for a limited amount of pictures. I'm gonna have another go
Oh, that's a shame. Hopefully it will work this time around.
But if that keeps happening, you might need to try doing it in multiple smaller batches.
@@techtimewithtimmy that's what I have already thought about, but it looks that pictures are copied, not moved, as I can still see them every time I start again. So you need to scroll down again, and that takes ages. Now I figured out, that if you select all pictures while in Windows Explorer (where you can easily select all of them) from your Google Drive (I have just downloaded/updated the old Back Up & Sync desktop app and it is possible to select it in WE), and hold and release in the Google pictures tab in your browser, they start finally to copy. All it is, I have somehow in the past copied pictures from google pictures to google drive (this has got to do with google freaking mixing their services allll the bloody time), and I want to delete them but to make sure that I won't delete something that is not in google pictures. So first I'll move then/copy and then delete, so I am sure. I hate when they change everything all the time and google is a master with it
I like your videos, the first 3 seconds I could be without, the rest is good. Thanks for your help

Thank yo for video, but if you use a Google Account through work or school, you’ll have to download from Google Drive and re-upload to Google Photos. i like the method you shared.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've never used a school or work account, but from what I hear from comments on my videos, they sound very restrictive. Sometimes for no good reason.
Great video. Very helpful.
No problem Jeff, glad you found it helpful! 👍
This was very helpful thank u so much
No problem, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
Very helpful video ! I didn't know I can just use new Google Photos' upload button to look in to my photos in google drive. I have the old google photos in the drive that's taking up space.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
thanks for the clairification! could not find my uploads but did not know they were filed by original date.
You're welcome! It really stumped me the first time I tried it.
El mejor video que encontré, muy preciso y de mucha ayuda. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
¡Gracias! ¡Me alegro de que lo hayas encontrado útil!
Hi, wanted to inquire whether the space would remain same or double (i.e. GDrive and GPhotos uses same GCLoud space, so are the photos moved or copied (i.e. as simply uploaded) which causes the photos to be redundant in both GDRive and GPhotos).
Though I have a hunch it'd double as GDrive is meant as GCloud general.
Yes, the photos will use double the storage. But after you add them to Google Photos, you can delete them from Google Drive. So then they will only take up the same amount of storage as they originally did.
Great Job. Thanks for your great help
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
If my photos in Google Drive are organized in folders, can I 'upload' the folder or do I first need to extract them from all folders before uploading?
Unfortunately, you can't simply upload the folders like that. (It would be nice if you could).
You could open one of the folders at a time when you're uploading to Google photos, select all the photos inside that folder and upload all those. Then repeat that process with each different folder.
Or, you could move all the photos into one big folder in Google Drive beforehand and then upload them all at once.
I would probably go with the first option, but either of them should work.
Hope this helps.
Amazing video, this was very helpful
Thank you, I'm glad to hear it!
If you can see this comment, this guy is legit. Very helpful thanks so much!!

Thank you I am going to try this.
No problem! 👍
Thank you Timmy
You're welcome!
Thanks a ton!

I was actually looking for a way to sync my Google Drive photo album to google photos. I'm familiar with your method but the manual effort can create duplicate uploads. Do you have a sync recommendation?
Hi Oscar,
It would be really great if there was a way to sync between the two, but unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there isn't.
Up until mid way through last year Google would automatically sync photos between Google Photos and Google drive, but since they stopped doing that I don't think there are options out there.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
@@techtimewithtimmy Thanks. Btw, I also just saw the message from Google that starting June 1, 2021, High quality and Express quality content will count towards Google Account storage.
Did this change recently? I can see that I can upload from my "computer" and there is no google drive? Help anyone?
That's very strange, I've just checked and the Google Drive option is still showing up for me. I'm sorry but I really have no idea why this would happen.
Same happened to me, if I search 2016 they show up but not when I scroll down.
For photo that was taken 2007 that is surprisingly clear
Yeah, it's a stock photo I use for demonstrations. So I'm guessing it was taken with a professional camera.
@@techtimewithtimmy just finished moving my photos and videos from drive to photos dating from 1999 (now they are beautiful organised!!!) thanks man.
I encountered a problem though, whenever you select 900+ photos it crashes ( photos not responded followed by aw, snap!), tried it on my pc and my friend's pc, same thing, had to split the sending.
Well done and subbed!👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thanks man.its working.😊👍
No problem, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
OMG with explaining the difference in quality....we get it! Thank you much for the rest :)
No problem, glad you found it helpful! 👍
Can I do this on my tablet ? Or does it have to be done on a computer
If you go to the Google Photos website on your tablet, you should be able to do this by following the same steps in this video. Some things might look slightly different, but the general steps should be the same.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you timmy
No problem!
very helpful!
I'm glad to hear it!
Great video best I have found but one question. After you upload to google photos do you delete them from google drive???? I didn't get that in the video, only explanation you lacked. Ok I read comments below and found the answer to be yes I can delete them from google drive. Thank you.
Is there is a work-around where all one's photos are in nested files by year and month files too on google drive? I have about 20 years of photos and the photos are split into 240 different
month files.
Unfortunately as far as I know there isn't a way to do that. To have all the photos together in Google Drive I think you would have to manually move them all into one big Google Drive folder one folder at a time.
Or to get them all in Google Photos where they would be sorted automatically, I think the only way would be to do the process in this video 240 times.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
This video is helpful.

Hey quick question Timmy once the photos are transferred out of google drive can I delete the google drive folder?
Yes, once the photos are in Google photos, you can delete the photos and the folder in Google Drive.
will it take storage space twice i mean taking storage space at google drive and then again taking storage space at gphotos ?
Yes, it will do that. But if you delete the photos from Google Drive after you're added them to Google photos, they will then only be taking up your storage once as photos in Google Photos.
Thank you, 🥰😘😘
No problem! 👍
After I upload from drive to photos, will deleting the photos from drive effect the uploaded ones in photos?
No, the photos in photos will be separate copies so you can delete the ones from drive without any problems.
@@techtimewithtimmy From full storage down 60%! Thank you good sir
No problem, glad you found it helpful!
Hey bro, I'm Amazoning a new double screened home computer, what brand do you suggest that"s a really hardcore long-lasting and I'll never need another one again brand or whatever..?
Hi Occam,
All the common computer brands are going to be pretty good, but what really matters is how good the specific model of computer is.
If you're looking for a really powerful one to do things like video editing, you'll want to look for one that has an Intel core i7, core 19, or xeon processor and make sure it has more than 8GB of RAM.
You'll want to get one with Windows 10 so that it has a wider selection of different apps you can install.
I think Dell makes some good desktop computers but it will really come down to finding the most suitable one for you.
Read the reviews on Amazon as they can often give you a good idea of how good it's going to be, and if you find one you like the look of you could even Google something like "(insert computer name here) review".
It can also help to Google some specific things like "is the (insert computer name here) good for video editing".
Sorry I couldn't give you a specific brand but really all computer makers make some good and some bad computers.
Hopefully this helps you with your decision making.
Sorry I took so long to respond, I've had a problem with my website that I had to fix and it took a while to do.
@@techtimewithtimmy Yeah but I've heard really bad things about Windows 10 and a person I know had I think it was Windows 8 and changed to 10 and everything was messed up or something, Idk...?
Yeah there are a lot of bad things about Windows 10 but unfortunately almost all desktop computers use it.
You could try something like an Apple iMac pro and get a second screen to go with it if you want to give Apple's Mac OS operating system a try.
amzn.to/3i2E6st
Or you could try buying a Windows computer and installing Linux on it but that is quite difficult to do and then you will have the same problem as with a Chromebook where it is hard to find good apps to use.
If you wanted to get a Chrome OS one, you can get computers called Chromeboxes which are basically desktop Chromebooks, but they are usually not very powerful and you will face the issue of trying to find good apps that will work on it.
This Chromebox from ASUS should be reasonably powerful but it's not exactly "hardcore":
amzn.to/3glzv46
Despite all the negative things you hear about Windows 10, when it comes on a good new computer it can still be pretty good.
You won't be able to buy a computer with Windows 8 on it anymore and you wouldn't want to because it would no longer receive updates and that would make it more likely to be hacked or get viruses.
@@techtimewithtimmy I'm not buying a new car, dude, holy crud! $500.00 0r $400.00ish, Almost gave me a heart 🙀attack...
Okay for that price range you will definitely be looking at either Windows 10 or Chrome OS.
For Windows you could go with something like this acer one which should do fairly well but will probably start to slow down in 3 - 5 years:
amzn.to/39ULQtK
Windows 10 can have some problems when running on cheaper computers like this as it is a very demanding operating system.
If you're happy with the app selection available on Chrome OS, a Chromebox might be a better option as it will be able to last longer on a cheaper device.
This Acer Chromebox could be a good option but it only has 64GB of internal storage so you would need to use Google drive or a USB stick or external hard drive.

I have many Albums in Google Photos. Is there a way I can sort them in Alphabetical Order? Do you have any videos on Google Photo management? Thanks and I subscribed.
Hi Margret, thanks for subscribing! Unfortunately I don't really have any videos on Google photos management.
I do have a video on how to change the date of photos in Google photos:
ruclips.net/video/BcDzV1XZbwU/видео.html
But that won't really help with sorting albums into alphabetical order.
But when you're looking at the list of all your albums, if you click/tap on "Last modified" in the top right hand corner, you should be able to choose "Album title", and then all your albums will be displayed in alphabetical order.
Hope this helps.
when i click on the folder it is not showing upload
does uploading from google drive to google photos take up more space
Yes, uploading from Google Drive to Google Photos will effectively take up double the space, because you now have two copies of those photos.
But once they're uploaded, you can safely delete the photos from Google Drive, and then you will only have one copy of them so it will take up just as much space as before.
Regarding the folder issue, unfortunately you can't select an entire folder, you'll have to go inside the folder, select all the photos in it, and then upload them.
Hope this helps.
How do I do this from my iPhone? I have both google photos and drive installed
Unfortunately you can't do this with the mobile app, but if you go to photos.google.com in Safari or any browser app, you should be able to do it just like in the video.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
You're welcome!
Great video
Thank you!
thanks bro
No problem, glad you found it helpful! 👍
Timmy, would I be able to transfer some photos as original quality and others at high quality?
Many thanks! From a new subscriber, BTW ; )
Thank you! You can transfer some at original quality and others at high quality (now called storage saver).
Just set it to original quality and transfer everything you want as original quality, then change it to storage saver, and transfer everything you want as storage saver.
Changing the setting only affects photos you add to Google Photos in the future, all of the photos that are already on Google Photos will stay in the quality setting they were added in.
But unfortunately since this video was made, the "high quality" (now storage saver) option is no longer unlimited. Photos in the storage saver quality will now count towards your Google storage quota. They will take up less space than original because the file size will be smaller, but they're not unlimited anymore.
Can you possibly explain how to do it through a mobile device
There's no way to do it in the app. But if you visit the Google photos website (photos.google.com) in a browser app on a mobile device, it will work pretty much the same as on a computer.
Hope this helps.
i have w50gb videos it frees when i press select all
Sometimes it can struggle with really large files or large amounts of files. You might just need to wait a while for it to work. Or you might need to try doing it in smaller batches.
thanks
You're welcome! 👍
It works👍 thanku
No problem, glad you found it helpful! 👍
@@techtimewithtimmy 🤗🤗
Will this work on cellular phone? Google pixel?
It can be done, but you'll have to go to the website (photos.google.com) on your phone as it can't be done in the app.
But on the Google Photos Mobile website, it's pretty much the same as on desktop.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to automatically back up any photo and video from Google Drive to Google Photos? If so, how is this done?
Unfortunately I don't think it is.
I was using a laptop with bad keys and it was showing the battery symbol when I turned it on. I thought being plugged in was enough? That's never happened to me before. I charged one all night and now it seems to be fine😸...
I have a question: How to View Google Photos Library in Google Drive?
You can't do that at all anymore. You used to be able to years ago, but I think they removed the feature because it was confusing people.
How do I do it the other way around? Google Photos to Google Drive.
I think the only way to do it directly without having to download and reupload them would be to use a thing called Google takeout to have them exported to Google Drive in a zip folder, and then unzip the zip folder within Google Drive.
To do this, go to:
takeout.google.com/
Then under "Select data to include", Click "deselect all", and then scroll down until you find Google Photos and click the checkbox next to Google Photos so that it's selected. If you then click on "All photo albums included", you will be able to choose which albums you want to export (if not all of them).
Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Next step". Then under "Delivery method, change it from "Send download link via email" to "Add to Drive". Leave everything else as it is but change the zip file size from "2 GB" to "50 GB". Then click create export.
Depending how many photos you're exporting this could take a while, but once it's done you'll find a folder called "Takeout" in your Google Drive and in that folder will be a zip file with your photos inside.
You can then unzip the zip file by following the steps in this video:
ruclips.net/video/ZfnloYU8bZk/видео.html
It's a bit of a complicated work around but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a better way.
But you've given me a great idea to make a video on how to do this, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for that.
Hope this helps.
@@techtimewithtimmy thank you, I just downloaded it and uploaded it.
That is probably the easier way
Ini sangat membantu, terimakasih!
Sama-sama, saya senang Anda merasa terbantu!
Thanks for the informative video! Quick Qs as follows:
➖ Is it possible to upload folders (already present in my Google Drive) to Google Photos?
➖ If not, I'll have to create albums (in Google Photos) corresponding to respective folders in my Google Drive, right?
➖ I understand the Google Photo storage consumption is considered under overall Google Drive storage, right? If so, while I upload my Google Drive photos to Google Photos, there won't be any implication for my Google Drive storage consumption, right?
No, you can't upload folders to Google Photos like that. You have to upload them all to the main Google Photos section, then you can add them to albums.
And while Google photos and Google Drive share the same storage quota, you are actually copying the photos from Google Drive to Google Photos. So the photos will essentially take up double the storage space when you add them to Google Photos.
So after you copy the photos from Google Drive to Google Photos, you might want to delete them from Google Drive so that they won't take up any extra storage space.
@@techtimewithtimmy Thank you so much for answering my queries! 👍🏻
I'm glad I could help!
is it cut-paste (move) or copy-paste ?
The photos will still be in Google Drive after you upload them to Google Photos so I guess it's copy-paste.
@@techtimewithtimmy thanks
Hi! How can you upload a folder from Google Drive to Google Photos?
Unfortunately there to isn't a way to just upload an entire folder, you would need to go into the folder you want to upload, and then select each photo by clicking on the top one, holding down the shift key, and clicking on the bottom one.
Hope this helps.
@@techtimewithtimmy oh, i see.. alright, thanks for the reply. 😊
No problem!
I need help , lts not showing any images or videos when I’m clicking “ upload“ even though my google drive is connected with the laptop and the videos are in it
It could be that the images and videos haven't synced to Google Drive for some reason. If you go to drive.google.com/ are the images and videos definetly in there?
@@techtimewithtimmy yeap they are there but it still isn’t working
Just to confirm, when you click upload, are you choosing "Google Drive' or "Computer"?
@@techtimewithtimmy google drive but it still isn’t working
Have you tried clicking on the "computers" tab of Google Drive? If the images and videos were synced from your laptop to Google Drive, when you click upload and choose Google Drive, you might need to click on "Computers" in the top menu and find the files in there.
Can I now Delete the photos from the Drive after I uploaded it to Photos?
Yes
Can you then remove them from google drive?
Never mind. I scrolled a bit in the comments and found my answer. ANSWER: Yes. I can remove them safely from google drive after doing this. Thanks!
i do not have the ‚Google Drive‘ Button on the Upload Menu. What can i do
That's really strange, I've actually now had a few different people comment on this video saying they don't have the "Google Drive" button, but assuming there are photos in your Google Drive, I really can't think of any reason it wouldn't show up or what you could do to fix it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
@@techtimewithtimmy i think i know why - maybe because i am a workspace-User?!
Oh yes, that is probably it.
My photo doesn't show that I can upload from Google Drive. It only shows computer..... Might you know why?
I'm sorry but I really don't have any idea why this would be happening. I've had a few people recently say they've had the same problem but I've never had that problem and I've never been able to suggest a solution.
You could try clearing your browser cache and see if that solves it, I have a video on how to clear your cache in Google Chrome here:
ruclips.net/video/kb_O2IuiayM/видео.html
And Firefox here:
ruclips.net/video/9pbOVtFtgBo/видео.html
Or if you use a different browser you can just search for something like "how to clear cache in Microsoft Edge" or whatever browser you use.
If that doesn't help, you could try logging into Google Photos in an incognito window and see if that works. I have a video about incognito mode in Chrome here:
ruclips.net/video/l__NucPDg1Q/видео.html
And in Firefox here:
ruclips.net/video/BWx-vN3nbZQ/видео.html
Or if you use a different browser you can just search something like "how to use incognito mode in Microsoft Edge" or whatever browser you use.
But other than the basic things like this, if the button still doesn't show up, I am really at a loss and I think the only thing you could do would be to download all the photos to your computer and re-upload them to Google Photos.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
No google drive option in the upload button, how to fix this?
That's unfortunate, I've actually now had a few different people comment on this video saying they don't have the "Google Drive" button.
It seems to be that the Google Drive button doesn't show up for people with work or school Google accounts.
But I'm not entirely sure that's the reason.
How can v do this from mobile
If you go to the Google photos website (photos.google.com) in a browser app on your phone, the process should be fairly similar.
Hope this helps.
this work on October, 2023
How do I get photos out of Google photos from one folder and move some of those photos to another folder?
Do you mean moving photos from one Google Photos album to another? To do that, go into the album where the photos currently are and select the ones you want to move. Then, click on the plus icon in the top right hand corner, and click "Album" in the menu that appears.
Now, you can choose the album you want to move the photos into, or create a new album, and then the photos will be added to that album.
But they will still be in the original album, so to remove them from there, you'll need to select the photos again, then click on the three dots in the top right hand corner, and click "Remove from album".
Now, the photos will no longer be in the original album, and they will be in the new album.
Hope this helps.
@@techtimewithtimmy I figured it out. Lol. I wanted to get my google drive folders or pictured moved to say somewhere else. I can't seem to upload to Facebook it never sends all photos over. And nit into goggle photos. I really can't explain what I mean. 🤦♀️

But how to move 2.000 or more photos? No way, it doesn't show more than 50 photos. I tried to scroll but it didn't work after few scroll
That's strange, I seem to be able to move as many photos as I want using exactly these steps. When you're scrolling you do need to sometimes stop and wait for more images to load but other than that it should work just fine.
Have you tried doing it in an incognito window of your browser? Sometimes various different cookies, browser extensions, or other things you have when your browser is in normal mode can cause websites to act weirdly.
If you want to try using an incognito window, I have a video on how to do it in Google Chrome here:

Or if you use a different browser, you could find out how to do it by Googling something like "incognito mode in Microsoft edge" (or whatever browser your using).
I'm not sure why this is happening but I think there's a fair chance that incognito mode will help.
Can u please do a video of how to transfer photos from google drive to Amazon photos. Please. Or can you reply back to me & give me the run down. Greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately as far as I know, the only option is to download the photos from Google Drive to your computer and then upload them to Amazon photos. Because they are two different companies the two services don't really integrate with each other.
ty if only it kept the folders along with them lol
You're welcome! It's a shame Google Photos can't do that.
Is there a way to upload an entire folder? This is going to take forever.
Unfortunately not.
@@techtimewithtimmy So annoying! I have a ton of pictures on my external hard drive. I was able to upload them to Google Drive quickly. I thought there may be a way to get them into Google Photos just as easily.
If you still have them on the external hard drive, you could drag and drop an entire folder into the Google Photos website directly from the hard drive.
It would mean you have to wait for them to upload all over again, but it might be easier than selecting each photo to bring across from Google Drive.
@@techtimewithtimmy Oh yes! I do still have them!!! I will do that. Much easier. Thanks! Hey - if I have other questions where can I message you?
@@techtimewithtimmy The Google Photos puts my pictures in the wrong order. Its doing oldest to newest. How do I change this?
Those SOB’s at Google! It makes sense to the guys designing it, oh it’s easy and obvious to them how to do download a photo, but not to the millions of end users who have to rack their brains. If I email a jpeg to myself, I should be able to open it in my own phone not on Drive so I can upload it. We as consumers need to put the hurt on the bottom line of companies who do this yo us.
This doesn't "move" your photos. It duplicates them and uses up your storage if you are using the full resolution.
Well yes, this does only copy them, but then you can go and delete them from Google drive so that they will only be in Google photos.
Then, after you've done that, the photos will be in Google Photos, but they won't be in Google drive, so they will have effectively been moved.
Bro its w
Please put your hands down.
And REVERSE???
Unfortunately as far as I know the only way to do this in reverse would be to download all the photos from Google photos to your computer, and then upload them all to Google Drive.
I don't think there's any option to directly transfer them.
it only shows computer only
Unfortunately this can't be done on the Google photos app on a phone, but if you visit the Google Photos website (photos.google.com) in a browser app on your phone, you will be able to do it pretty much the same as on a computer.
Hope this helps.
I dont have the 'Google Drive' option T-T
That's really strange, I'm sorry but I have no idea why that would be.
You could perhaps try it on a different device if you have one, but I kind of doubt that would make a difference, it sounds like more of an account thing.
Unfortunately, you might have to manually download the photos from Google Drive and then upload them to Google Photos.
Not moving only copy
Yes, it is only copying the photos, but after you've done this you can safely delete the photos from Google Drive so then the photos will effectively have been moved to Google Photos.
@@techtimewithtimmy that's correct 👍
this did not help. or work. i’m so confused
Did the "Google Drive" option not appear? Because a few other people have had that issue.
If this is the issue you are having, are you using a gsuite account? I think that might be what's causing this to happen.
@@techtimewithtimmy Thank you for responding so quickly! i actually was on my school account! i switched accounts and it worked!
Great!
You shouldn’t have to go on your computer, those bastards! If I send a pict to someone from my phone for them to upload they can’t open it on their phone unless it’s through Google drive. They need to download it to their phone so they can upload it to a post. The people who design all this are so cavalier.
Thanks bro ☺️. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
No problem, I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
