Google Photos has a solution to save your photos without filling your cloud too much

Google Photos One today is, if not the most popular solution when it comes to automatically backing up your photos and videos online from your smartphone. It must be said that Google’s solution, regularly updatedis very effective, despite the limit of free storage space of 15 GB. Good news however, since the firm seems to work on a new feature to be able to continue to keep its creations in safety while occupying a little less space online.

Google Photos: Soon an option to only save your favorites

Currently, Google Photos already offers several tools to record its online shots and videos more intelligently. By default, everything is saved online automatically so as not to have to worry about it. This can quickly fill the 15 GB of unnecessary videos or failed photos, even if the quality “space saving” that compresses the shots has been selected.

It is also possible to deactivate this automatic backup to make a back up manual that when the user wishes or when the application suggests. Practical to save online only the selection of your choice, but it can quickly prove to be tedious in case of many photos or videos.

But in version 7.39 of Google Photos of the code lines were identified about a future new option to automatically back up in the cloud that its photos marked in favorites. The videos are not mentioned, but there is no doubt that this will also concern them when the functionality will arrive with the general public.

If it will therefore be necessary to make the action to put a snapshot in favorite to be able to save it, this option could however save time after having got into the habit. This solution could in any case prove to be good to avoid having to delete files or buy additional storage when the end of the 15 GB approaches.
