Having a Gmail account gives you access to all the services offered by Google that also offer us perfect synchronization, such as Google Drive, where we have 15 GB available for free, Google Photos with unlimited space to store our photos and videos in high quality to name the most important and completely free for all users.
The relationship between Google Drive and Google Photos seems like it is about to be broken. Currently we can see the images of Google Photos through our Google Drive account, despite the fact that the company eliminated the direct access that it offered us in January 2018. But it seems that Google has new plans to end the relationship so beneficial for Username.
In the code of the Google Photos application, the guys from Android Police have found two new lines of code in which we can read that Starting in July, Google Photos will stop syncing photos with Google Drive, further stating that all images and videos will be safe in Google Photos. This message will be displayed weeks or days before removing this feature, we still do not know when the official announcement will be made.
The other line of code indicates that Your Google Photos folder (available on Google Drive) is no longer syncing with Google Photos. Again it informs us that all the content available in Google Photos is protected. This last message will be displayed when Google stops allowing synchronization between both platforms.
It is unfortunate. to see how the integration between both platforms disappears, since many users prefer to work directly from Drive than with Google Photos since it allows us to rename files, move them to other locations ...
Thanks to this integration, we were able to download all of our content stored in Drive to our device as we have previously classified it. If we have activated the option to synchronize Google Photos with Drive, in our Google Drive account we will find a folder named Google Photos, where we have access to all the available images classified by years.
