hey guys today I want to talk about why
Google Drive actually offers the biggest
amount of storage compared to all the
other major cloud storage providers and
the main reason for that is because if
you have a look at my Google Drive ok if
you go into let's say one of my folders
and you click on a picture ok now you
can see here if you have a look at the
storage the amount of space for the
picture the size of the picture is 601
kilobytes but the storage used is zero
bytes so since the introduction of a
limited amount of photos with Google
photos photos and videos what's happened
is you could actually turn on a setting
so that when you upload photos and
videos onto your google photos and
consequently
placed in your Google Drive they don't
count towards your 15 gigs of storage so
you can have as many photos or as many
videos as you want that's right even
video so I'll show you guys a video that
doesn't count so if I go into where did
I have a video just let me see so here I
have a video that is 42 megabytes but it
does not count towards my storage ok so
in order to turn this on what you need
to do is you need to log in to Google
photos with the same password as your
Google Drive so you can see I've just
logged into photos google.com ok once
you log in there you need to go into
settings ok you need to go into the
settings for google photos and turn on
this setting for high quality free
unlimited storage so when you upload
files to your google photos they will
somehow compress your photos and videos
to still a good quality but they will
reduce the file size for you but so far
I have not noticed any are difference
really between what I've uploaded and
their compressed file format so just try
uploading a few of your good photos and
see if you can accept the quality once
you uploaded them but basically just
click that and then you're still going
to upload your photos and videos by
clicking on this upload button in google
photos right so you can upload whatever
you want you can highlight a whole
folder and upload that or you can just
or you can just upload individual files
and once you upload them to here ok then
transfer them to your Google Drive you
need to go back to your Google Drive
click on Google photos and turn on a
setting inside the settings click
settings and click automatically put
your Google photos in a folder in my
drive so once you enable that option in
your Google Drive you'll be able to see
all your google photos inside this
folder which you can then decide to move
them to other folders if you want ok
using the move to option you can move
them to wherever you want on your Google
Drive so for example I've moved some
photos to here and they don't count they
don't count towards my storage so that
is why I think Google Drive is the
largest storage provider at the
okay thanks for watching guys see you
next time
