Hello @Francisqueen , thanks for reaching out. I think that this article from my fellow Connect Moderator @PaulPavlinovich answers your question: Did you know you can delete your photos after you upload them to save on your storage quota?

In short, the title of the article already clarifies it: after uploading your photo, you can delete it from your storage. Please, make sure to follow Paul’s guidelines.

Regards,

Alexandre

Ciao @Francisqueen , benvenuto in Connect

Come puoi vedere dalla risposta di @AlexandreCampbell questo non è un problema. Se scatti le foto direttamente da Google maps, o se le carichi dal computer, non utilizzano spazio. Lo spazio viene utilizzato solo se carichi le immagini in Google Foto.

Inoltre delle 27 immagini che hai caricato in Giugno in maps (da quando il caricamento in Foto non è più illimitato) una parte sono doppie, e possono essere cancellate

Hi @Francisqueen ,

I just wanted to let you know that I will move your post to our How-tos section, where Local Guides ask questions and express their doubts. You can read more about Connect’s labels in this article. Please feel free to reach out whenever you have any concerns.

Hi Alexandre, Ermest

thanks for your feedbacks
but I think this is a not-solution

i mean, I do photos for my pleasure and memory, not for google maps. I’m not a google employee

The suggestion to delete photos once given contribution to google maps seems to me a joke (I should support a G product while G is removing means to help this collaboration)

this is an extra job, unacceptable to me
My wish/ask was that google developed a flat storage plan (with fixed price) for localguides but it seems that this is not in their program

i understand that working from PC there’s no impact

i always believed in potential of Gmaps and power of users reviews and in the power of a picture in the review that can summarise hundreds of words but I can assure that my desire to continue to contribute to G product is at a lowest level

consider that I’m also Prime customer so I’ve already have a plan for endless photo storage; my concern is on how G is managing his contributors

Francesco, @Francisqueen

Io cerco di essere sempre onesto e diretto nelle risposte, perciò mi sono permesso di tentare di riportare questa conversazione alla corretta dimensione.

Tu scrivi “nonostante io sia una Local Guide di livello 7, con tonnellate di recensioni e immagini, sarà impossibile supportare Google Maps a causa delle limitazioni di Google Foto. Così frustrante …”.

La risposta di @AlexandreCampbell è correttamente stata che i contributi in Google Maps non sono influenzati, e non vanno a influenzare, lo storage in Google Foto.

Ora tu dici che fai foto per piacere personale (come d’altra parte faccio io), perciò questo non ha nulla a che vedere con Google Maps, tu avresti comunque, come me, archiviato le tue immagini in Google Foto. Ne io ne Alexandre siamo impiegati di Google, come forse avrai capito.

"My wish/ask was that google developed a flat storage plan (with fixed price) for localguides "

Ok, questo è il punto. Perché non lo proponi direttamente? Idea exchange è l’area di Connect dove le Guide Locali fanno proposte e danno suggerimenti al team di Google Maps. Per maggiori informazioni: How do I use the Idea Exchange and what happens to my ideas?

It was not absolutely a comment on your and other kind answers.

Francesco
