The self-sync feature between Photos and Drive will stop working from July 10
Starting from July 10, when you upload a photo or video file to Google Photos, it will not automatically be added to Photos folder on Drive and vice versa.
Synchronous features between two Drive and Photo applications of Google are making users confused. Many user feedback has been sent to Google in the hope that the company simplifies this experience.
Google recognized this and met the user's requirements. In a recent statement, the technology firm said it would no longer synchronize the two applications.
Starting from July 10, when you upload a photo or video file to Google Photos, it will not automatically be added to Photos folder on Drive and vice versa. Similarly, when users delete photos and videos in Photos, they don't disappear in Drive and vice versa.
All pre-existing photos and videos will still exist without losing. Only in the future Google Photos Folder will still exist on Drive but not automatically update Photos from Photos.
Users can still import their images from Drive and Photos because the 'Upload from Drive' feature is still available.
Google adds, when you choose to upload photos and videos in full quality "Original Quality" format, you will be charged to your account.
Backup & Sync application for Windows and macOS will continue to support uploading high resolution photos or original to both Drive and Photos as before but uploading is separate for each service.
