I have thousands of personal photos on my S5. I view them usually in the Gallery app.
I also have google accounts and can view these images in Google Photos / Picassa.
Does this mean I can delete all images from my phone (using Gallery app) to free up storage, and still retain all of the images securely in Google Photos?
In tests, images that I delete from the Gallery app do not get removed from Google Photos. In reverse, images deleted from Google Photos do not get removed from the Gallery App.
Do I need to think of it as a one-way process?
Everything I take on my phone is sent to Google Photos once and no other sync happens in return?
I can then delete from either independently, but the ones I want to keep backed-up (ie forever) must remain on Google Photos?
