Hello Guys,
I have deleted an entire album with hundreds of pictures of family and trips I must recover.
Reading several sources I realize I need to be rooted in order to use the DiskDigger app, but not sure which is the method that is most up to date.
If you could please lead me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
Note: If you know of an easier way to recover the pictures without rooting, I'd appreciate it.
Maybe it backed up on LG Backup to cloud or Google backed up your photos to your Gmail. Search that. It backs up those things if you didn't turn off sync so check Google photos and LG back up.

Hi,
I checked on google., but the pictures are not there. I do not have it set up to back up anything to the cloud.
I was able to root though, and used diskdigger. The issue is that it recovered a bunch of pictures that were not deleted and other meaningless stuff.
Is there are better software anyone could recommend for recovering these pictures from the internal memory?>
Just bough a nexus 5x, how can i download back to my nexus 5x the photos from google photos?

As long as you're logged into the same Google account they will download automatically.

Same account but they don't download.. how can i start that manually?
First, did you upload the pics from your previous device? Go into photos and in the upper left hand corner are three horizontal bars. Click on that, then go to settings and make sure back up & sync is on.

Yes if full of photos.. yes sync is up, i see photos but they aren't stored on my device as when i click on my device folders those are empty
Sync only uploads them to photos. it does not DL any. You can download them only one at a time with the Android app by viewing a photo and than tapping the three dots. Otherwise view them from the cloud. On a PC you can create a downloadable zip of whatever ones you want and then copy those to your phone. But they may end up as dups on your phone as it may get confused with the one on your SD card and the one on photos since it didn't originally upload the exact on on the SD card. Complete PITA.

Yeah, it would be a nice option especially if you could mark certain photos in bulk to come down over Wi-Fi. But it is contrary to Google's movement to all cloud based content and devices with non-expandable storage. That said they let you pin music from Google play music so why not the same for photo albums.
Yeah it kind of defeats the purpose of Google Photos cloud storage if you go for trying to download a whole bunch of them to your device. I've restored my 5X once just to start off fresh and it actually felt refreshing not to worry about my locally store pics getting cleared.
I do agree that pinning cloud albums would be nice to do for offline viewing just like Google Play Music.

Hi all,
So here's the deal. When I had my Pixel 2XL, I had about a bazillion photos on Google Photos, still do. No real order or organization, just a total mess. My impression is that the Note 10+ has far more robust file management software, and of course I have space for photos on the device and SD card. Let's also say maybe I've got some stuff on there that I just don't really want to be In The Cloud anymore. My thought is that I could do this via DEX - download or go through my Google Photos library from The Cloud, arrange things into folders on my desktop, and then load them onto the phone.
Would this work? Can anyone think of an easier way to move everything from Photos servers onto the phone's stock Gallery, putting aside any issues of "why would you want to do that" or "I wouldn't do that" because the bottom line is maybe I don't have the level of trust in Google as I once did and prefer as much of my data to me by own as possible.
Thanks so much!
Or just directly copy images via usb cable straight to the phone, all done using file explorer

Oh yeah, I guess I can do that, and that would be about a thousand times easier!
Alright, so, I'm not sure I understand how the Gallery and Google Photos sync up and I'm trying to think of what the best way to do this is. Just delete the un-needed stuff from the phone storage, sort the rest into folders as I like, and everything will stay backed up in Google Photos? My concern is that as far as syncing goes, Google Photos would basically re-upload or re-sync things I'd deleted from the phone's gallery. Which gets priority, for lack of a better word?
I hope I'm explaining that question clearly!
So how would I go retrieving photos or videos if deleted in android 10 or 11?
The gallery app has recycle bin option to restore deleted pics or videos and google photos too.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Usually, when you deleted photos or videos on your Android phone, first stop using it. Then check if they are in the Trash bin or not. If yes, you can recover from it easily. If no, check if there is backup or not. If also no, the only way is asking for help from pro shop or a third-party program like Dr.fone, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, phonerescue, etc. In such situation, you need to pay for it. Hope this will be help.
I ditched Microsoft One Drive to go all in with Google 1 upon purchase of my shiny Pixel 6 Pro, but I'm really missing my daily notification at 6am with photos from over the years dating back since my 1st pictures titled "On This Day", it's nice having a brew looking back over the years while you wake up especially when it's a special day like kids birthdays etc... It really does cheer me up. Google photos has some sort of memories thing but they have now disappeared from the app,
I have everything turned on and when I switched to Google photos/Google 1, I painfully uploaded separate albums into yearly folders which consist of around 17,000 pics/videos but still nothing, I had a memory show up in an album at the top of my photos that it thinks I'd be interested in but it consisted of about 6 pics in a slide show format which is just a big NO. I really want "On This Day" back with daily notification spanning across all the years like Ms One Drive does. I do love the speed of Google photos tho.
Am I being thick or does google photos not cater for this as I'm so close to ditching google 1 and going back to Microsoft One Drive. I have searched and posted in Pixel Help Community's to find out that Google may have just given up on these functions. Any advice muchly appreciated.
Wait did you upload to Google Drive or Google Photos? You need them to be uploaded to Google Photos for all the memories. When you do that, there's no need to create albums of years, Google Photos takes care of all that. You'll get stories at the top.

I'm getting the notification just fine. Not sure if the exact time but once a day I'll get something.

Hi, thanks for the reply could I ask a couple of questions if you don't mind answering when you have time?
Have you been using Google photos for a while? (Do I maybe need to give it time, as I've had my pics uploaded for about 2 weeks ish?)
Is it just exact pictures from this specific day from past years?
Are the presented as a video slide mode or just pictures that you manual scroll through?
I wouldn't mind what time of day I got a notification as long as I could just go and look on each new day.
Many thanks for you time much appreciated.

Hey check my updated reply.
- I've been using using Google Photos since day one it came out. I have 60,000+ photos according to my Google Dashboard.
- The stories are usually within a couple days of the today's date.
- They're stories just like on Instagram, Facebook, etc. but if you swipe up you can get an option to "View Day".

Argh ok, thanks for your time. I'll see if it kicks in soon then and starts giving me them. I have added the only photo widget available to me which says "This Week 1 Year ago" but it's showing me pictures from just a couple of months back. Like I said I'll give it some more time as

Hi thanks for your time, intially I uploaded them to Google Drive along with additional folders and then realised something wasn't right, in MS One Drive this is how I had them. So then I painfully created Albums named 2002, 2003 etc.. as I've got a weird OCD thing where I like all the pictures in a folder with the corresponding year as the name. Maybe this is what I'm doing wrong. All my photos in the app are obviously shown in date order and the app is so fast scrolling, loading the thumbnails then viewing them instantly once selected world's apart from MS One Drive that are slow to load.
So I reckon given what you've said if I get over my weird OCD and move all the pictures out of the albums and put them directly in the root of photos it could fix it, it makes sense really.
Screen shot attached of what I see...
I'll keep you posted when I do it later.
Thanks for your time. Really appreciated.

I'm a little confused though. You have all your photos showing up in Google Photos but you still have them in Google Drive? Google Drive and Google Photos no longer sync with each other.
"...upload or delete photos in Google Drive or Google Photos, changes won’t reflect in the other product."
Recent changes to Google Photos & Google Drive - Google Photos Help
What’s happening? Starting July 10, 2019, Google Photos and Google Drive will no longer automatically sync. We’re making this change to simplify how things work between the two services. You
support.google.com
But you're saying all the pics you uploaded to Google Drive are showing up? So what method did you go about for that to happen? If you did it by this method, https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6156103?hl=en, then you have duplicated the space used because "If you copy an item from Google Drive to Google Photos, the new copy in Google Photos will also count against your storage."

Hi, I removed them from Google Drive then uploaded them to the albums via web browser. I'm defo not duplicating them. I've literally just finished removing them from the albums, so hopefully I'll start seeing the memories. I really do appreciate your time on helping me out. Many thanks

Hi @EeZeEpEe, previous years has now showed up for me many thanks again for your time and solution. It's still not like I got on MS One Drive but it's certainly good enough for me to stay with Google Photos. Soo happy.

Hi @EeZeEpEe hope you are well? Could I bother you for another question about Google Photos if you don't mind? I thought I'd come to you after you helped me out with my Memories which is awesome by the way.
Is there a way to remove photo albums from view in Google Photos? I have loads of music albums with album covers and they all show up in the library tab. On the Samsung gallery app you could hide the albums from view, I've checked everything, I think! Any help appreciated. Thanks.

There are certainly some differences, I also like the MS One Drive approach better, Google only "occasionally" tells you "hey, this happened 3 years ago, have a look" - but there's no noticeable "trigger" to it, you can't force it and it's hard to comprehend why a certain day is now of interest to Google photos and another one is not.
Over the years I noticed that Google likes to tell you of holidays past, so a certain trigger (maybe) are Google Photos albums that are linked to GPS and were made automatically whenever you were on holiday, but that's just my assumption/ anecdote and might be totally coincidental.

Hi, I've got used to it now, my previous years refresh each week and then sometimes it randomly creates an album it thinks I'd like but I'm just loving the actual speed of the app I can scroll from today all the way back to 2004 as fast as I can move my finger down the screen and boom loaded... Also loving the search function which also enables a trip down memory lane by categorising "Things" into Night Clubs, Camping, Swimming etc.... I've long forgotten about MS One Drive Now, especially now I've just figured out how to hide all my music album covers from the Library view. Google Photos is Awesome. Lol

Do you install and retrofit skylights? Because your photos sure look a lot like photos I took when I did.

Nope. Those views are from my job and were either sunrise or sunset pics.
