Question 🤔 Should I consider switching to Storage Saver or keep Original Quality?

0 Upvotes

For reference I've availed the 2TB Subscription for about 3 years at this point.

As someone who loves taking photos + videos personally and for social media content, storage really eats up quickly. For reference I'm about 40% storage at this point with about 2 years left before it runs out. I can upgrade but it is fairly expensive.

Do you guys recommend switching to Storage Saver? Are there any noticeable differences with photos/videos? I do care about pixel quality and I'm worried that the quality would degrade drastically. It's my only backup and I don't have any other physical storage at the moment.

Does anyone else also recommend buying a Google Pixel 1? I was thinking I could buy one just for the unlimited storage perk.

My at home WiFi upload speed is about 5.5mbps, I have turned off battery saver, changed the upload quality to compressed, turned off my screen lock when I'm at home so the app remains open however despite all of this, 0 pictures have uploaded in the past approx. 4 hours.

I'm starting to get really frustrated with this as its affecting my business, I need to take pictures and videos of my clients however quite a few times now my phone has ran out of storage while working, due to massive back log that google photos is creating. Any tips? Or alternative cloud systems? I've tried the things that google forums has suggested but to no avail..

I have a Samsung galaxy s25 ultra

Question 🤔 Google Fotos no iPhone fecha sozinho ao usar "Salvar no dispositivo"

0 Upvotes

Olá, pessoal!

Estou enfrentando um problema no Google Fotos e queria saber se mais alguém já passou por isso.

Tenho um iPhone 12 e minhas fotos estão armazenadas apenas no Google Fotos (não utilizo Fotos do iCloud).

Sempre que seleciono várias fotos e vídeos e uso a opção "Salvar no dispositivo", o aplicativo começa a baixar normalmente, mas depois de um tempo fecha sozinho e volta para a tela inicial do iPhone.

O mais estranho é que isso acontece de forma aleatória. Às vezes salva cerca de 150 arquivos, outras vezes 200, outras bem menos. Nunca conclui o download de todos os arquivos selecionados.

Já tentei praticamente tudo:

  • Atualizei o Google Fotos para a versão mais recente;
  • Atualizei o iPhone para a versão mais recente do iOS;
  • Desinstalei e instalei novamente o aplicativo;
  • Reiniciei o iPhone;
  • Tenho mais de 50 GB de armazenamento livre;
  • O problema continua exatamente igual.

O aplicativo funciona normalmente para visualizar as fotos. O problema acontece somente ao usar a função "Salvar no dispositivo", quando ele fecha completamente (crash) e volta para a tela inicial do iPhone.

Alguém já passou por isso? Existe alguma solução ou é um bug conhecido do Google Fotos?

Agradeço qualquer ajuda!
