download the xmlpack from the magisk module repo and install it, upon reboot you should see the message saying you have unlimited storage until 2022 if you upload with original quality
figure this would help some peeps out
Thanks! I tried this and it does work EDIT - unfortunately does not seem to work. If you check the google photos page on a desktop (non-mobile) it still reflects that original quality photos are counting towards my allocation even though it says original quality uploads are free on my phone. So the mod tricks the phone into thinking it is a Pixel 3, but the google servers are not fooled.
How does this work and is it potentially fraudulent?

Nothing so drastic as changing what your system thinks is the device.
Adds a bunch of xml files to:
/system/etc/permissions
which changes the features permissions for a number of additional devices. The ones that begin with "pixel" you might find interesting...

This does not work. It'll say you have free photo backup but it will still take storage space.

Are you sure new files are adding to the used storage number?
It won't "undo" used storage for photos that are already loaded prior to installing the mod. I guess you could remove them from google photos and then upload them again after doing this mod, but I haven't tried that to know if it would work.

Confirmed that it doesn't work.
It will take up storage space if the settings is at original quality.
If I change it to high quality on the website (there is no option to change in the app), the app will only upload high quality pictures,not original size.
Actually, in the Google photos app, click on Assistant tab, there is a assistant card saying "Free storage at original Quality has expired" message.
I honestly don't know if it is working for me or not, but in my Google pictures app /settings/backups and sync, it shows my account and it says "photos and videos uploaded from your pixel prior to 2/1/2022 get unlimited free storage at original quality". Plus, there is no card saying it has expired.

It shows the same message to me but it will upload original quality only if you change to original quality on the google photos webpage and it will count against your storage space.
If you select high quality on the google photos webpage, it will still say this same message in the google photos app (Photos& Videos uploaded from your pixel before 2/1/2022 get unlimited free storage at original quality), but all the upload will be in high quality mode, not original.
In the Assistant tab of the google photos app, there is a card with message "Free storage at Original quality has expired, New items will backup in High quality (reduced file sixpza, free unlimited storage). Items uploaded before Feb 1,2022 will remain free at Original quality."
Tested on two pixel 3as with two different accounts.

You are right.
I finally took some time to look at the non-mobile google photo page and discovered exactly what you said...... Photos seem to be uploading at original quality, but are counting towards my storage allotment. It says I can upload high quality and have unlimited storage.
Oh well. I will uninstall this mod and edit my posts in this thread to reflect the fact that it actually doesn't work.
I'll just pay to upgrade my storage when I run out. It won't be long......
Surely it's easier to just pay £1.59 a month for 100GB. Can't even buy a beer for that!

"Hi everyone!
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]

Fix infinite restart of Dropbox when database was corrupted.
Fix import error on iPhone with lots and lots of photos.
Better Handling of out of quota issues on first photo import.

1.3 Features
Importing of photos from cameras, phones, and SD cards.
Batch upload/download of files.
Windows: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.exe

Linux x86: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-1.3.12.tar.gz
Notes:
Clients 1.3.5 and earlier had an auto-update bug. Please install this version so that your client will stay up to date!
The photo import feature is not available on Mac 10.4 and Linux.
For Android devices, it's best to use "Connect as Disk Drive". HTC Sync will not work.
To import from iPhone, make sure to unlock your phone and enter your passcode before importing, otherwise it will claim to find no photos.
If importing from your iPhone on Mac gives an import error, try hard resetting it--hold down the power and the home button for 5 seconds. This will reboot the phone; it shouldn't change your settings or delete data.
On Windows, this feature relies on Autoplay. Please enable Autoplay to use this feature if you have disabled it.
On XP and Vista, it relies on the Windows Image Acquisition Service. If this service is not started, please start the service and reinstall Dropbox to use this feature. On WIndows Server, you may have to install the Desktop Experience feature.
On Windows 7, newer devices that rely on Device Stage (in the Control Panel) will not show Dropbox as an import option until you select "Change Program" for the default.
The Galaxy Nexus takes a lot of time to connect on OS X because it likes to pretend that every image on the device is a photograph. We now estimate how long it's going to take and show you that in the progress bar but it's usually in the order of minutes. We're working to see if this can be improved.
As usual, we strongly recommend making a backup of your Dropbox before upgrading to this build as we'll need a few weeks to be certain of its stability. We will rapidly release new builds as necessary to snipe the most common issues as they arise."

Fastest way (tip i saw on g+) is to use beta desktop client provided in first post with those blank videos (you can put any avi or mp4 video on usb as well as long as it is in the dcim/camera foler and has not been uploaded to dropbox before and note 'renaming does not work') and use autorun dropbox import function.
must connect in mass storage mode or just plug microsd card ( usb reader and external hard drive does work as long as you keep proper folder structure dcim/camera). allow import to complete then in dropbox client 'pause syncing'. go to dropbox 'camera uploads' folder and delete files. again in dropbox client 'resume syncing' and thats it.
you just maxed 5GB without wasting all that time and bandwith!
note:you must have at least 4.5GB in pics and videos plus that one initial picture
another note: your maximum in pics and videos you want to import can not be greater than total dropbox ammount available to you or it will fail to sync properly. so best keep it around 5 just in case.

Got my extra 5GB already. Swhueet. My only worry is if Dropbox catch on; which they will. What will they do about it? Could they track who has been given large amounts of space, but not made any real difference in space in their online accounts? Could easily take the space back off us.

Did you happen to try it through your computer? Connecting your phone through USB and having dropbox give you the option to import to dropbrox, I believe through AutoPlay. Because I'm not getting an AutoPlay pop up when I connect my phone to the computer so I can't figure out how to do the import. I'm using USB mass storage mode (pulling down the shade and clicking Select to copy files...). Anyone else not getting the pop-up when you connect?
EDIT: My bad.... didn't realize AutoPlay was something that could be disabled and apparently is was disabled on my computer (though I don't remember doing that). Just hit the Windows button and type "autoplay", open it up and click the checkbox at the top.
Also, thanks for the tip!
Is this still working?

Doesn't box have an upload limit of 100mb or something like that? I need to upload a few large files that's why I was interested in dropbox.

@theos0o best known for modding Skype from sgs forum has found a way to patch dropbox client into thinking we have regular htc phone, giving us aditional 3gb free for a year here
Last chance to get 5GB. New beta just came out that takes effect today, that lowers 5GB to 3GB.
"Yo ho ho, and a bottle of code!
We wanted to say a special thanks to all of our early beta users! Thanks to your feedback, we have been able to find and fix a bunch of bugs.
Starting today, new users of Camera Upload will get 500 MB after their first successful import. Users can also receive up to a total of 3 GB additional free space for photos and videos automatically uploaded via the desktop or mobile apps.
Forum build users who tested Camera Upload before today, either on the desktop or Android, will keep any additional storage space they received for trying the beta version, and will still be able to earn up to 5 GB."
@theos0o strikes again!
Now bringing 23GB free for 2 years. Deal with dropbox and new HTC devices.

OK, maybe this is better, I have to agree
Is that forever, though? The free 16GB I have from SugarSync is for 'life' as I understand it. If you upload 5GB once, does that give you 5GB forever, or if you delete files does it get removed from the availability?
As far as I know, the only temporary promos dropbox has are the ones with HTC 3GB/48GB respectively, for 12 months.
These should be yours for life*.

I believe that you have mixed deal that Box has with LG,HP and Apple, which is not the same as the deal that Dropbox has with HTC.
Anyways! These credits are here to stay so it's OK to delete uploads. Beside 7GB + with Dropbox is way more valuable than 50GB with Box with their 100mb limit one by one uploads and borderline impossible one by one downloads.

Well you should continue and get all you can. Of top of my head, use it for what they are giving these 5GB for. AUTO UPLOAD and simultaneous cloud as well as pc backup of your pics and videos without compromising pics resolution, videos being limited only by the free space on dropbox. Yes I'm looking at you google+ /picasa and box.net. Not bad for syncing Titanium backup with it as well.

Thought the most free space you could have at this point was like 12GB, guess I'm wrong

EDIT:
Thanks yet again. Followed your advice and have received an upgrade of 4GB. Wow!!
attention: windows client autoplay feature doesn't work on win8 so far...
so no +4,5GB there, if you have win8 you have to use the android client (or a vm with any of the supported os's)
anyway, here are new beta-versions, should get rid of some bugs:
Windows: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.13.exe

Sigh. My phone have been uploading since 11 o clock. 2 hours and still uploading! Haha.
Hi, for the past year I've been backing up my photos/videos automatically with DropBox. Unfortunately my 18GB of space is going to be full soon.
I tried Google Photo's auto backup, which says it offers unlimited space if the photo is not bigger than 1080p and 2048px, but my Nexus 5's photo's are always 2448 x 3264, I think it's because HDR is enabled.
So I can't use Google Photo's auto backup as it will fill up all my free space anyways, + the auto backup isn't as reliable as DropBox, it keeps stopping every time my phones screen turns off.
What should I do?

Do you not have a computer?

Yes but I was hoping there would be a way to have access to all my photos on my phone and not have it take up all the space on my phone.
The best part about Google Photo's it shows a cached version on your phone.

I use Google Photos but I haven't reached the limit yet. I also use One Drive wich syncs with my windows computer. I actually have a lot of cloud services and I don't know why. lol. Dropbox, Box, Googe Photos, One Drive. You can probably buy more storage from Google if you need it. Otherwise, just make room on Google photos by moving some stuff to your computer or use different cloud services. Not really anything else you can do if you are out of space.

I don't mind paying the $1.99/m for 100GB via Google.
Does Google Photos auto backup automatically free up space on your phone after it backups photos/videos? or would I still have to manually delete it from my phone?

You still have to manually delete them
My photos get uploaded to my own Server at home.
Therefor I know who can see them and I have enough storage (4TB is enough)
To do this I run an instance of Owncloud on Ubuntu Server.

Interesting, I have lots of spare 1TB drives at home from work.
Gonna look into OwnCloud now, never heard of it before.
Hopefully it's possible to set it up on the spare Raspberry PI's I have at home.
I think Ubuntu (or any other Linux) can run on a Raspberry Pi. So you should be able to set up Owncloud.
But remember: The Server has to be online almost 24/7 (except the time you sleep).
I also use more powerful Hardware (Intel Atom Dual-Core) and also host my own File Server, Calendar and Contacts Sync Server, Webserver, DLNA Server and News Aggregator.
I'm almost independent from any third Party cloud services. I just like to know where my data is
But believe me. It really was hard work to learn how to set up Ubuntu Server with all those services. It was a long process of learning until I got to this state to run it all safe and energy efficient while keeping it reliable.

I have a tasker task that runs when I close any of my camera apps. It looks for new photos taken in the last 15 minutes then moves them to a new folder. Then I trigger a FolderSync task to SFTP those photos to my NAS.
Hi Friends,
I went on an expedition recently and took a lot of photos & videos from my Google Pixel Build Number 7.1.1
I received (OTA) a security patch update of 97.4 MB on my return.
It seems after the update the photos from 8th Feb till 9th Feb got lost (videos are there).
I've spent 3 hours with google support without luck. It seems to me they are just hidden somwhere and not deleted as the BIN/TRASH is clean too.
Appreciate all you support as the photos are precious memories.
Cheers.
Have you have already checked online for copies? I think it asks which settings to use on setup, and the default may be to backup photos to the cloud and make space by removing items. I have the removal shut off on my phone, yet I left photo backup on, and it tends to ask if the photos haven't been backed up online. Your post doesn't say anything about shutting off the typical online photo backup, so that's where I would start.
If you don't have an online backup and the photos have been deleted, then I would figure some sort of data recovery would be another option. I've never used it, but DiskDigger Photo Recovery is one app that shows up in searches and doesn't seem to require root. Any sort of writing files to the phone, like installing an app, can potentially overwrite deleted files. Since support should know about the typical online backup of photos, I figure using some sort of data recovery software would be the next thing to try if you don't have a backup.
Yup noticed some videos missing
OneDrive cannot see the internal storage of the device properly.
It recognises that there are folders containing images, because it pops up saying "New folder detected - do you want to backup 'Screenshots'" for example.
However, the local image files do not display in the Onedrive gallery like they should do and hence they don't get uploaded.
Likewise, if I try save an image that is already backed up to onedrive and download it to the ZenFone, it gives me the error "Internal storage is currently unavailable".
I have given the app storage access permissions, I'm not sure what else I can do.
I use OneDrive for almost everything so I really need to get it to work. I've only had the device a day but I already hate it - so many software bugs combined with just how ridiculously big and heavy it is, I don't think it is the device for me. If I can get onedrive working I will probably keep it for a while and see if I get used to it, but if not I'll be selling it asap.
Any advice welcome, cheers!
Bump.
Can anyone test this out for me? I know not everyone uses OneDrive but it's just a case of installing the app and turning on "Camera Upload" and seeing if it works or not.
Or for anyone that does use OneDrive, just log into your account and select an existing file stored in the cloud > click "Save" to try download it to the device.
I'm getting to like the phone more and more now (okay, camera could be better but it's still pretty good) but unless I can get the onedrive issue sorted, I'm probably going to switch to the Oneplus 8T when that is released. Would be a shame though, I've had oneplus devices for 5+ years now and just fancied a change. Especially as they are turning more and more like Samsung.
I have reported the issue to microsoft but I doubt they will respond, especially for a device that is not very common.
Just a quick update if anyone is interested:
I submitted a support ticket through the Onedrive - they are aware of the issue and have had multiple people reporting it. They acknowledged it is a bug with the software and that it will be addressed as "high priority", although they advised that this is likely to take a few weeks before it makes it to the production version of the app.
