How to Get Free Unlimited Google Photos Storage Legally

Running out of space on Google Photos is a headache many of us know all too well. Those precious memories, captured in photos and videos, can quickly eat through your free 15GB limit. This often forces you to make tough choices about what to keep. But we found out a clever trick that uses a built-in Google Photos feature to give you significantly more storage for your growing collection – and the best part is, it won’t cost you a dime. Here’s how to get more Google Photos storage for free.

Trick to Get More Free Storage in Google Photos

The secret to unlocking (almost) unlimited Google Photos storage for free lies in a feature called “Partner Sharing.” Originally designed to easily share your photo library with a trusted friend or family member, we’re going to repurpose it in a slightly different way.

The idea is simple: you’ll create a second Google account and then use Partner Sharing to automatically share all the photos from this new account to your primary Google Photos library.

When you set up Partner Sharing and enable the option to “Save photos shared by [Your Second Account’s Name]” in your main account, Google Photos will treat these shared photos differently in terms of storage. They don’t count against your main account’s 15GB free limit as long as the sharing remains active.

This means you’re able to effectively use the 15GB of your second account (and any additional secondary accounts you might create) to store your growing photo and video collection, with everything still conveniently accessible in your primary Google Photos.

Things to Remember Before You Start:

Let’s move on to the step-by-step guide on how to make this happen.

Steps to Get More Free Google Photos Storage

Here’s how to set up the Partner Sharing trick to get more free storage for your Google Photos:

Part 1: Setting Up Your Second Google Account (If You Don’t Have One)

Create a New Google Account:If you don’t already have a second Google account, you’ll need to create one. You can do this by going to the Google sign-up page (accounts.google.com/signup) and following the instructions.

Part 3: Accept Invitation and Enable Auto-Save on Main Account

Part 4: Adjust Auto-Upload Settings

On the Backup options, you will now get the option to select the account you want to backup your media on.

That’s it! Now, all new photos you take will be uploaded to your second Google account.

Note:Once you see your photos in your main account, you’re able to go to yoursecond Google Photos accountand delete those photos to free up space there. They will remain safe and sound in your main account.
