I also put this down to a picture it didn't like in my library as i have thousands of pics in multiple folders and/or SD card corruption (as the card is 2yrs old now). I couldn't stop it unless i disabled the application to begin with or at some point turning off the camera upload also worked. I had the exact same issue syncing in MS Onedrive on a new s9+, it was running in the background doing nothing (i thought) for hours, chewing cpu and 10-20% battery, either saying it was looking for photos or backing them up. It's been very frustrating that I cannot have google photos auto backup/Sync my photos on my new phone. I will give that a try and let you know my results as well.

Good Luck!Thank you for those steps and sharing it with us. Please let me know if you have questions on my steps.

I was going nuts trying to figure it out. But i also allowed the phone to 'optimize' google photos for battery life around the same time. Thats when google photos started going crazy. It for some reason didn't like it when i took the SD out of my S7 and put it in my S9. Which i let it sit for about 30 minutes, and its at 2100 photos now. It originally was saying 'getting photos' for about 3 minutes, and then said 'backing up 7930 photos. It still said 'Getting Photos', but the status bar was 'different'. (I cleaned it while i had it out, but did not re-install yet)Д¦)Reinstalled SIM (without SD) and rebooted phoneД§)Reinstalled Google Photos from Play StoreД¦)When i opened Google Photos, it was already logged in, but if yours does not, re-login.Д§)Waited for it to say 'Backup Complete', which was super quick with just internal photos, like 3 minutes or something.ДЎ1)Opened Google Photos. What i did: (sorry its long, i didn't want to miss anything)Дў)Went into App Management though the settings, and cleared both Data, and CacheДҐ)Pulled SD Card out. I have over 6000 Pics and Vids on SD, and another 1500 on internal. So i tried a bunch of different things, like clear cache, uninstall and reinstall with rebooting it every time. I just upgraded to a new s9, and Google Photos was saying 'Getting Photos' for over 12 hours.

Nikolas Spiridakis: I get there are many storage alternatives, but where else can you find a service with an AI which is that good? I mean, if youвЂ™ve ever used gphotos you know that it categorizes things, identifies faces, you can search photos by describing them, etc.I was having the same problem.

ItвЂ™s mainly because I like to store my photos at full resolution. But, just to be on the absolutely safe side, IвЂ™ve been paying for the 200 GB plan for months. Pretty soon, four out of five of us will have a Pixel (My wife just wonвЂ™t give up on iPhone). Jarrod: I have a family share plan and three out of five of us have a pixel, so it wonвЂ™t really affect us anyway.

Google has a tool to estimate when youвЂ™ll run out and mine says a year. IвЂ™ll probably pay when I run out of space. I do back up to Prime too, but IвЂ™m not sure how much is included there and I may run out there too. rap: If I do local storage, then I have to pay to back up my local storage.Austin Eschweiler: This might be the kick to start using my Plex server as my photo storage, too.That leaves me stuck paying more money for google to host my content, and this repeats until I die? IвЂ™m not seeing the benefit. The One: So, I pay x dollars for y amount of cloud storage, and in a year or two or three, google raises the price arbitrarily.To anyone who is going to rely on the new promise that your existing pictures will be grandfathered: how long until that promise is broken? If IвЂ™m going to pay to store my photos, it wonвЂ™t be to Google. cfischer69: I was looking for the вЂњhell noвЂќ option.A tiny fraction (7.6%) of our polled readers voted to say that theyвЂ™ll pay for a different media storage service.
