[Q] Will "backup all" in new Google Photos create duplicates in Google Photos? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Will "backup all" in new Google Photos create duplicates in Google Photos?
I have downloaded new Google Photos app. Will the "backup all" images feature create duplicates in my image archive on Google Disk? Currently I have 2000+ pictures I would like to backup, but many of them are already updated, so I don´t want to end up with hundreds of duplicates...

Bump. I'm also interested in an answer to this question.

You don't have to backup them to Google photos as well because it uses same storage as old application did

Ol, but not what I meant. They have never been uploaded, not to old app and not to new app.

An easy way to organize, sync and post all your fotos on a tablet?

Hi there,
I have the following scenario:
After taking pictures with my DSLR I want to plug in the SD-Card in my Asus TF101. Now I want to look at the pictures, organize the into different albums and automatically upload those albums to Dropbox. Additionally I want those albums to be created in Facebook.
I haven't found a way to do all of that in a usable way, especially with a UI for tablets.
Most Apps just take existing folders, but I haven't found one where you can just say "Take this, this and that picture, create a new album and name it like that".
Each album would be a folder containing the pictures. Afterwards I thought of letting the App "Folder Sync" do it's work, so that everything is in my Dropbox.
From there on I wanted ifttt or Wappawolf to create a album in Facebook named after the folder. But right now I can only tell them to create 1 Album and post all of my synced pictures there...
I would be very glad if you guys could help me out. I would prefer it if the cloud-service would be Dropbox, since I got 50GB, but if you got different proposals I am open too
Thanks a lot,
Rabenvogel

Google Photos, force full backup

Hello,
Last time I wanted to cleanup my Google Photos (mostly from time, when there wasn't free storage). So I've removed all older than June 2015 and now I'm uploading them once again.
Additionally I've removed all photos automatically send by my phone. Then I wanted to re-backup them once again. Unfortunately, only new photos are send to cloud.
I was trying using option "save copy of all" (I'm not sure how is it called in English) from photos application settings but doesn't work. Also removing settings and reinstalling Photos app doesn't help. It still knows some settings (for example my selection of folders to backup) and probably knows which photos were uploaded before.
As I remember from last year, I was often making full wipe and all photos were uploaded each time, but I don't want to make full wipe currently.
Any ideas?
Many thanks and regards,
Maciej

Does deleting photos from whatsapp folder also deletes them from Google Drive backup?

I've installed Whatsapp on a new phone, and during installation all messages and photos were restored to the phone from the backup in Google Drive. Now I want to delete all photos from the Whatsapp folder on the phone, because they occupy a lot of space.
The question is whether during the daily automatic backup of Whatsapp to Google Drive, the same deleted images will also be deleted from the backup? i.e. will deletion be synchronized, or maybe the photos will be restored to the device from the backup?
I don't want them to be restored to my phone again, but I do want them to remain backed up in Google Drive so if I'll install Whatsapp on another device in the future, I'll be able to also restore the photos if I want.

[BUG] Google Photo wrong backup , Amazon photos backup doesn't work

I want to advice this 2 problem, with my mi note 10, already rised into this threads:

Google photo recognize as 0.7megapixel (960x480) photo taken with main camera, and it will backup photos with such this low resolution.
Amazon photos isn't simply able to complete a backup.
Really bad situation here....
I've already triggered mi support, what we can do?
No problem with Google Photos from my Note 10.
Smae identical problem about Google photo
No problem for me, Google Photos backup 27MP and 108MP photos without any issues

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, no problem here either. All photos backed up in full size.
Some of my photos are backed up but others are flagged as 0.7 Mpixels. It's not related to our phone because I found the issue on Mi9T/9T Pro forums. It seems that moving the photos from one folder and back again to the original fixes the issue.
Same problem
Some photos back up fine, but some show erroneously as 0.7Mpix and don’t back up to Google photos. Those ones also erroneously show no GPS location.
Same problem. To correct it I have to clear all the data of Google Photos app and delete low res duplicates. It is really annoying
There is a workaround it (better than clearing the google photos)
the methods are:
1. Open the built-in Photo App. Create an album(ex. G-Backup Album) inside the built-in photo App. This will create a folder with the same name as the album.
2. Select all you photos and click "Add to" button below. Then select the "G-Backup Album" album and click on "Move" option. After this, all photos will be moved to "G-Backup Album" Album.
3. Open Google Photo App, add "G-Backup Album" folder to the list of backup folders in the Setting. Then you will see that all photos are being uploaded normally and the size are shown correctly.
Makesure u dont open the Google Photo apps.. before you do this methods
Hi Wing_Zero85 in my case something similar happens to my "mi note 10".
Neither the amazon photos app nor google photos automatically upload the photos to the cloud.
I have activated all the permissions, I have tried many things and nothing, they do not automatically upload photos to the cloud.
With google photos it doesn't bother me too much, but with amazon photos it does bother me.
For amazon photos to upload photos to the cloud, I have to manually open the app, because it doesn't automatically.
For the other apps, there are no problems, whatsapp, telegram ... they work well in the background, notifications arrive well .....
But what happens with the amazon photos app is very annoying and frustrating.
