No storage space! Camera app that uploads directly to Gdrive for videos and photos? If it uses social media filters, does graphics that's even better. As long as I can take pictures and vlog without buying more storage.

Ok guys so here is the situation. Got a new phone (Moto X Play). I want to know the best Free way for Auto Photo and Video backup so that i don't loose them(it used to be a frequent scenario in my previous device). I googled a lot and ended up with Having Google photos and Flickr installed. Google photos backs up videos too but the photos are of only 16mp (max) but my camera can take 21mp pics so google photos isn't the best choice. While flickr offers photo backup with no restrictions the Video Backup is restricted to max 3 minutes. So i think having both of them at the same time is pretty useless and considering the battery drain and bandwidth charges(I live in India). I also have 200gig of free Onedrive Space(Some giveaway).. So should i use onedrive for backing up? But the problem is onedrive's android app is extremely limited and doesn't offer much options. And there is also no option in google photos to backup up only videos... So what do you guys suggest? (Ondrive only or Flickr with some other service or flickr and google photos or..?).
For those who upload their photos what do you use?
Google Photos. Have never had an issue. You get free storage for photos if you don't save the raw versions.
Will Google photos do anything to the photos?
I use google photos. I have 200GB storage and set it at original quality. It's great.
I set it to backup on wifi while charging although never had an issue with backing up on battery. Just make sure you don't back up on mobile data
So i just came back from a holiday in Japan. As i am using a google pixel, my stored photos automatically goes to the google photos app. but the app is not synced on the cloud (meaning i never signed in with google photos) as i don't intend to use it as a cloud storage, but just a normal stock photo storage on my phone.
So after the trip, i created a new album and sorted out the best photos out of the trip and put it there. I named it "for profile pics photos"
Now, the storage memory is getting full, so i moved the photos from the camera folder to my harddrive through Solid file explorer, but i didn't touch the "for profile pics photos" album.)
When i checked the google photos app, the "for profile pics photos" album is gone! i was shocked and i was looking for the specific photos everywhere. it's gone. My best pics from the trip is gone! i am so pissed.
I double checked in the harddrive if the photos got transferred there but it wasn't. it just got lost!
I also checked the trash in the google photos, it's also not there!
How can i retrieve those photos? why is google photos like this. is this a common problem for a google phone?
Just for what it's worth and because no one has replied yet, I haven't had this problem but I only don't use Photos' backup option on my non-Pixel devices. On my Pixel devices, I use the free full quality backup. On my non-Pixel devices, although I use Photos as a gallery app, I use Mega with its free 50 GB of cloud storage to backup my pictures and videos. It's not as seamless as with Photos.
I should also add I haven't done the exact steps you have on a phone where Photos isn't set to backup automatically.
Hey guys, I have a weird problem with some photos that come out of the stock camera app. When I look at them on the stock gallery app it shows as a normal 16 MP photo. However, when I look at it on a google photos app it shows only as a 0,7 MP photo. These photos also upload to the Google photos cloud as 0,7 MP which is unusable. Have you experienced any similar stuff?
Isn't that normal if you want unlimited free photo storage on Google photos?

Hm, no. Google Photos offers free unlimited storage up to 16MP normally. So it shouldn't do that..
Also that's only for content uploaded to the Google Photos cloud. He should still be able to see the full resolution in the app if he kept the original photo.
Just a quick disclaimer, I am able to see full resolution photos in stock gallery app, not the Google photos app. And it does not happen to the pics I take with GCam, they are being backed up correctly.
thats not the case for me
if i make a photo on stock cam and its displayed as 3-5MB in Google Photos
If i take the photo with 64mp camera it uploads as 0.7 but if i just use the "photo" option on camera app it uploads it as 16.1mp
Hello everyone,
So recently I noticed that my storage is fuller than it should be. I made a little investigation and it seems like when I take a photo/video it somehow uses twice as much space. As seen in the screenshots, Images take nearly the same amount of storage as Media Storage App. And Media Storage is just an app that is needed when you view, download, play, and stream images, videos, audio files, and other media files. And usually, it doesn't use that much space. I took a long video to check whether it changes in both places - and yes it does.
So my question is: do my photos and videos duplicate? And how I can stop that because it uses a lot of memory?
My phone is Motorola edge 20 with Android 11.
