@clergyman @googlepixel thank you for the suggestion, just installed

Now I have a competition between Fossify and Aves happening :)

@Markaos @chunkystyles which is shared with Gmail.

I had enough foresight to use a secondary Gmail account with my new photos account to avoid total disaster at least, but still annoying.

@Lordran_Hollow yeah, I had to do a google takeout to save a month to travel photos, that got accidentally removed from device, save those with multiple backups using my own personal backup protocol (as one should), then I was finally able to release the images from using up the free 15 GB allotment

@shertson thank you for the suggestion I have just installed it and like what I see.

What a delightful bonus holiday present!

I like how it had its own recycle bin. Seems much snappier than Google Photos too!

@f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 yup, I’m glad to have received a refurbished Pixel 5 after my first one started to having a swelling battery issue recently. Those models continue to enjoy effectively infinite storage.

Also have a newer model which lost that benefit, the source of today’s kvetching.

@googlepixel and sorry Lemmy account I know you’re not actually Google but then, I didn’t want to press backup either. I’m wildly mashing buttons today.
