This will allow you to manually copy items in Photos to Drive. The company is also introducing an “Upload from Drive” feature to Google Photos. They just won’t sync between each respective service anymore. So, the images you have up now will not be deleted. If you’re on a computer, you can continue to “use Backup and Sync on Windows or macOS to upload to both services in High Quality or Original Quality.” If you have a “Google Photos” folder in Drive, it will remain in Drive, but will no longer update automatically. Also, if you delete images from Google Photos, they will not be removed from Drive – and vice versa.Īny photos or videos from Drive in Photos that you have uploaded prior to this change will remain in Photos.

And pictures and videos added to Google Photos will no longer be added to Drive automatically. Staring in July, the new photos or videos you take that are added to Google Drive will no longer appear in Photos. What is Happening with Google Drive and Photos?
