Have you run into issues with your Google Photos cloud storage lately? I have. For the first time in 3 years, I\u2019ve run into a problem where full-resolution images have now killed whatever cloud storage I had with Google. Of course, my 25GB of free Google Drive cloud storage has come to an end too, courtesy of a two-year trial offer, which makes the need to free up cloud storage all the more significant.<\/p>\n

With Google Photos, you have the opportunity to choose between 1) photos backed up at full resolution, which allows you to upload your 20MP photos as they are, or 2) high-resolution photos which are free but only allow your photos to upload at the max resolution of 16MP. If you decide to upload photos on your Galaxy S6 Active at full resolution, however, prepare to have your limited Google Drive storage occupied quickly \u2014 leaving you with no new room for more, Ultra HD photos and forcing you to downgrade your photo resolutions to free up storage.<\/p>\n

The only problem has been, however, that Google hasn\u2019t allowed Google Photos users to downgrade their photo resolutions retroactively \u2014 that is, until today. Now, according to a new post from the search engine giant, Google Photos users can decide to retroactively downgrade their photo resolutions and free up cloud storage space for more photos, emails, and so on. Here\u2019s the official word from Google:<\/p>\n

When users choose to backup their photos and videos to Google Photos, we allow photos to be uploaded in two ways:<\/p>\n

\u2018Original quality\u2019 (large file, full resolution). These photos count against a user\u2019s Google storage quota.<\/p>\n

\u2018High Quality\u2019 (smaller file, compressed file).<\/p>\n

These photos don\u2019t count against a user\u2019s Google storage quota\u2026for media already backed up in \u2018Original quality\u2019 before then, users were in an awkward state: they had no way to downgrade that media to \u2018High quality.\u2019 With this update, users will be able to downgrade previously backed up photos from \u2018Original quality\u2019 to \u2018High quality\u2019 by visiting photos.google.com\/settings from their computer and clicking \u2018Recover Storage.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Google has said that this same Recover Storage feature will arrive on iOS soon, although we don\u2019t have a specific date. At any rate, prepare to recover your lost storage. Google will roll out the update starting Wednesday, November 18th.<\/p>\n
