Google Photos

Hey folks,

So, due to the disconnect between onedrive and android (ie on windows phone all photos loaded in the photos app from onedrive, but dont on android) I decided to copy all the photos over to google drive. 

This worked in terms of all my photos being accessible in the android photos app like i was used to on the windows photo app... however, not all the pictures were  uploaded due to exceeding the 15GB limit.

I've read up and I was under the impression google offered unlimited storage for photos. Even my oneplus states this in the sync option settings.

Any ideas where i've gone wrong.  I do not wish to pay Microsoft for storage if google will store my photos for free.

That's what we're here for

I have another question... see when i selected the folders to sync with photos, why did they all upload in one big jumble. I have these phones sorted by folder on the pc so.....

clearly ive 'd it up again.

No, that's not right at all....
Try one folder at a time?
Have you clicked on the "Albums" tab?

[Curr946]

yeah, i get things like people and xmas but none of these albums were set up by me.

Photos will group into it's own predefined folders but should still copy any that you have preset previously.

Dunno will try deleting them all again lol. Glad I've got unlimited fiber hahaha.
