I say all that just to say that to a long-time Windows guy, Google's way of doing things here is far from simple. It was even kind of neat to have it pick back through everything and create new collages, memories, etc. I don't have the nice, neat album structure I had from the Picasa days (man, I miss that tool), but I have everything in google photos now with no dupes and at least in the right chronological order. It was a nightmare since google offers no way to just reset your photos and start from scratch and since their Backup and Sync desktop uploader is a cluster.Īfter multiple attempts with different strategies, I finally ended out loading my entire library to a new SD card in a spare phone and uploading everything via the android GP app just by letting it sit for a few days. As I had everything stored locally and organized into folders by year and date and synced to Onedrive already, I thought I'd just clear my GP and upload from scratch. Personally, after years of phone swapping, navigating the transitions from Picasa Web Albums to Google+ Photos to Google Photos, and so forth, I found that what was 40-50gb worth of photos on my hard drive somehow amounted to nearly double that in my GP storage. There are also a lot of threads floating about around the issues people have had mixing and matching. There is some info from Google here on the differences: I encourage folks to do their homework in advance. Exactly, it's definitely not as straight-forward as the article makes it out to be here.
