Youtube is also updating its desktop video uploader, together with the novel version (currently inwards beta) does non include the pick to import videos from Google Photos. Also, the novel YouTube desktop uploader no longer includes import from Google Photos.
Google+ Photos were made available inwards Google Drive in March 2015, soon earlier the independent Google+-free Google Photos launched. That integration has been been useful inwards a set out of ways:

Our finish amongst these changes is to simplify roughly features that caused confusion for our users, based on feedback together with our ain research.And it definitely tin be confusing, for illustration amongst roughly people non realizing that deleting images inwards Photos also deletes them inwards Drive (and vice versa).
As of July 10th, that syncing volition stop.
- Photos together with videos that are already synced volition remain where they are - photos from Drive that appear inwards your Google Photos volition remain inwards Photos together with photos from Photos that currently appear inwards your Drive volition remain inwards Drive. They volition non convey upwardly extra storage space.
- Photos together with videos inwards Google Photos together with Drive volition live on carve upwardly copies, hence deleting a photograph from Google Drive volition non impact the re-create stored inwards Google Photos together with vice versa.
- You tin purpose the official desktop Backup & Sync tools to backup your photos together with videos to both Photos together with Drive. But if yous upload your images at Original Quality to both places they volition convey upwardly storage infinite inwards both Photos together with Drive.
- You volition live on able to guide specific photos together with videos inwards your Google Drive to import to Google Photos, but in that location won't live on an pick to import from Photos to Drive.
In an additional change, YouTube's novel desktop video upload tool (currently inwards beta), no longer has the pick to import from Google Photos at all, hence eventually direct upload to YouTube may live on the exactly option.
What is changing?
On July 10, 2019, Google Photos together with Google Drive volition no longer sync amongst each other.- New photos together with videos uploaded to Google Drive volition non automatically present inwards Google Photos, together with if yous delete an epitome inwards Drive it volition non live on deleted inwards Photos.
- New photos together with videos uploaded to Google Photos volition non automatically present inwards Google Drive, together with if yous delete an epitome inwards Photos it volition non live on deleted inwards Drive.
Images already shared betwixt services volition remain:

- Any Google Photos photos together with videos yous already receive got inwards Google Drive volition remain inwards Drive, but after the modify editing or deleting those photos volition non impact the re-create inwards Google Photos.
How volition this modify impact your storage quota?
Google Accounts come upwardly with costless 15GB storage for Drive, Photos together with Gmail, amongst the option to buy more. With the changes, here's how epitome together with video uploads volition impact your storage quota:
- If yous guide the pick to upload together with backup your photos together with videos to Google Photos at "High Quality", rather than "Original Quality", yous teach unlimited costless storage.
- If yous upload photos together with videos straight to Google Drive, they count against your storage quota.
- Items synced betwixt Photos together with Drive earlier July 10, 2019 volition non convey upwardly extra storage space.
- If yous manually upload a photograph or video from Drive to photos.google.com, it volition convey upwardly storage infinite inwards both places.
- If yous purpose the desktop Backup & Sync app for Windows or Mac, together with yous upload photos together with videos to both Drive together with Photos, it volition upload a re-create to each service, but it volition non convey upwardly duplicate storage.
- Deleting an epitome from Drive volition non impact a re-create of the epitome inwards Photos (and vice versa), hence the other re-create volition popular off along to convey upwardly storage space.
- This isn't a change, but live on aware that uploading photos together with videos to Google Photos using a third political party tool that uses the Google Photos API, uploads at Original Quality, together with hence counts towards your storage quota.
You tin cut the size of "Original Quality" photos together with videos to cut the total of storage yous are using, but earlier yous produce that, live on aware that it volition also cut the size of images uploaded via other Google products, including Blogger together with Hangouts.
Copy selected Google Drive photos together with videos into Google Photos
To re-create photos together with videos from Google Drive to your Google Photos:
1. On a desktop computer, sign inwards to photos.google.com
2. At transcend correct click Upload, together with then select Google Drive
3. Find together with select the photos yous desire to re-create into Google Photos
4. Click Upload
There are roughly limitations, hence see this article inwards the Google Photos assist middle for details.
Items copied betwixt Google Drive together with Google Photos inwards Original Quality volition count towards your storage inwards both products.
How this modify volition impact 3rd political party tools
The one-time Picasa Web Album API allowed 3rd political party sites together with services to access the photos together with videos yous uploaded to your Google account, both inwards the one-time Picasa Web Albums, together with and then afterwards inwards Google Photos. That was close downwards at the foremost of the year.
It was replaced amongst a novel Google Photos API, which does allow 3rd political party sites to access your photograph library, but prohibits services from processing, copying or permanently storing the users media.
Some services similar WeVideo (which I purpose for video editing) exactly offering access to your media via Google Drive. With the change, photos together with videos yous receive got backed upwardly to Google Photos volition no longer live on accessible that way.
And the trick to embed videos uploaded to Google Photos on your website using the Google Drive re-create volition no longer work.
With the change, additional steps volition live on required to re-upload photos together with videos to Google Drive or the 3rd political party sites directly.
Note that if yous desire to purpose images yous receive got uploaded to Google Photos for your website or blog, in that location may yet live on options that produce non demand yous to also upload a re-create to Google Drive.
If yous receive got a Blogger blog, yous tin insert photos from Google Photos past times selecting Insert Image, then choosing From Your Phone as a source.
If yous receive got a WordPress.com site, yous can link your describe of piece of occupation concern human relationship to Google Photos. And for self-hosted WordPress sites in that location are a set out of unofficial plugins that may run to insert images into your site (I haven't tried whatever to recommend).
YouTube Desktop Video Uploader Beta does non include import from Google Photos
One of the peachy tools YouTube offers is the option to import videos uploaded or backed upwardly to Google Photos into your YouTube channel directly. With syncing betwixt Google Photos together with Google Drive, this also permit yous import your videos uploaded to Google Drive into YouTube.
This procedure was sometimes glitchy, together with importing video from Photos into a YouTube channel on a Brand Account hasn't truly worked for a pair of years.
The novel YouTube desktop uploader does non include an import option.
The classic YouTube desktop uploader volition popular off along permit yous import your Google Photos videos until it's retired (probably afterwards this year), together with Google Drive videos until syncing betwixt Photos together with Drive is close downwards on July 10th.
If importing videos from your Google Photos or Google Drive is an of import characteristic for you, be certain to ship feedback to YouTube straight letting them know that. The feedback pick is the icon that looks similar a spoken communication balloon amongst a ! at bottom left on the screenshot. Some pages on YouTube receive got a "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of the page.
