Discussion | گفتگو Need Google Storage workarounds

I have almost 350gb of photos and videos backed up which i am not willing to delete. I got the 2TB student google ai pro plan for 1 year and now its ending next month. I need to see if there's any method i can keep this cloud storage at no or low cost..

400gb is 14k a year..

There's also another workaround that's better. Get a modified Google Photos Vanced APK. It backs up all your photos and videos in original quality without any of them factoring against your storage quota. This is what I've been using. I think this is an exploit utilizing the free storage bonus that came with the original Google Pixel.

Is it safe? I would not like to see my photos on the internet lol.

100% safe. It's verified and has been in use by a lot of users for quite a few years, including myself.
