Hi, I have 6 gmail accounts for various things and set this new one specifically for backup of photos of my wife and son. The new account shows as available on both phones but is now only accepting uploads from the S20, the S8 says it's preparing then uploading but the files don't seem to...

I just uploaded a photo from the s20 without issue, something is wrong on the s8 side. Will keep trying. Thank you.

I found the settings and set the backup to the right account, ticked google photos and it started to backup all my photos, around 4500, I don't want to do this. What I want to do is the old way: press and hold on a photo then select the few I want, press share to drive and upload. That used to...

The 1st pic is what I see on S20, the other 2 are what is seen on the S8

Given it 2 days lol and nothing happened, just 500 photos deleted (from drive). The drive storage shows 0.0kb used too.

And just like that, my problem is resolved. Thank you so much.

Okay so I have some success backing up to google photos however, drive is not showing anything now. Tried uploading one photo to see if it works, it says it's doing it but then in the drive it's just got the blank grey thumbnail icon with the 2 triangles in it (mountains?)

Nope, still loading m.youtube.com

Yeah that's the one I enabled.

Okay it's showing no permissions allowed, what do I need to enable for this to work?

I assume I have to enable the feature on both phones as I've done it on the S20 snd no change. Do I have to add a backup account too?

It works fine in chrome, I was a bit taken aback by how smoothly and seemlessly the app opened so thought it was not working correctly at first. I'd rather not use chrome but if I have to break a habit I've had since the S3 then I may have to.

I've posted another question on here but I assume each issue needs a separate post. I backed up a load of photos from an S8 to a new google drive account to be able to download to my new S20+, however, when I open drive from the S20 there is nothing there, literally nothing synced. I look back...
