you can sync Google Drive with a folder on your computer.This Google Photos folder is not connected to the new Google Photos platform, so it will not sync its contents with the new Google Photos.Ĭonversely, your Google Drive folder on your computer will sync to the online Google Drive platform. If you used Google's " Backup & Sync" before this update (Backup & Sync allows you to store, access and sync your Google Drive files from your computer), you may have a Google Photos folder inside your Google Drive folder. Simplifying Google Drive and Google Photos means that Photos no longer sync with Google Drive - they are now completely separate entities ( Google Drive / Google Photos).
In July 2019, Google changed how these products work together. If I access Photos online or on another synced device, the pictures aren't duplicated, it's just showing up that way on the Edge.Last Updated : | Wide Angle Software Recent changes to Google Drive & Google Photos But why are they duplicated?ģ) This is where it gets strange. One has the full device path just like the other pictures, leading me to think that's the actual and non-duplicated file, and then the other one only has the file name, no path, and most of the time, a smaller file size, which makes me think it's just the online version.
Here are my 'symptoms':ġ) Duplicate photos seem to be random (might be HDR, but since I take HDR in Auto, I have no way of knowing which ones were taken that way)Ģ) Details on the duplicate pictures differ.
I've seen this reported a couple times on the Photos forums and it seems to be only on S7's. Anyone else noticing 'duplicates' of their pictures in Google Photos? I'm not sure if it's just HDR pictures (and if so, I can't seem to find a way to disable the phone saving more than one picture), but for some reason I don't think that's the cause.
