Now wings, what would you do, pull out your gun and start shooting? Or would you just threaten to shoot? Either way, you'd be putting bystanders in jeopardy. Think how you'd feel if you hurt someone. Think how you'd feel when the cops pulled you into the station...might ruin your vacation.

Thanks. That may have helped a bit. But my new phone, bought several months ago is a Pixel 2, and even though I buy extra Drive space for $1.99/month, I've maxed out that space and the next higher is something like $10/month. So even though I have a Pixel 2, with free unlimited storage, isn't that unlimited space just for photos made with that phone, not for the bulk of my legacy photos that were taken with other phones and cameras, and not for the many I now take with my Cannon? I sure exceeded the 15GB fast, and then had to spend the $1.99/month many months ago after I quickly exceeded the 15GB, and now they want even more money. Keep in mind that I also back up non-photo files to my Drive account.

Whoa, this is way beyond my ability to comprehend. Here's what puzzles me: the hard drive on my computer is 1TB and the external Seagate is 4TB, and yet the Seagate today is 90% full. I assumes that means is hasn't been doing incremental backups, instead doing full ones, piling one on top of previous ones...right? And yet I've had the Seagate for a year and it's only recently that it became full. Maybe I should just get a larger Seagate, or maybe I could get a 2nd 4TB and daisy-chain the two together? But whatever I do to increase the backup drive space, does it just become storage for photos only, or everything on my computer and Google Drive (Word, Excel files, etc)? I'm confused more then ever now.

I have been taking pictures for 15-20 years with my successive digital cameras (right now a Cannon 5GX) and my successive Android phones and Android tablets). On my Windows PC I have a 1TB hard drive (apparently 75% full), and I also have 1TB storage in Google Drive (98% full), and Google Photos. I also have a 4TB Seagate external backup drive (nearly 100% full). So I'm pretty much maxed out for storage. My problem: I think all the years of photos are scattered among all these places (i.e., not all in one place, so I can see what I have and can trim it down). As I understand it, pictures I've taken with my Android devices have synced automatically with Google Photos (and I guess also with Google Drive), and I think may also be on my PC's hard drive, too (hard to tell, because each place arranges them differently). Meanwhile, the pictures I've taken with my cameras have loaded onto my computer's hard drive. The problem I think I have is that I don't seem to have ALL photos, from ALL devices, listed ALL in one place (PC hard drive, Google cloud, etc). Any thought on this? Any easy way to bring everything together all in one place, so I can cull through them and get rid of stuff and re-organize the rest? Also, any way to gather together duplicates so I can get rid of most of them? Oh, I also have Elements 13 on my PC, but I haven't used it very much (haven't been able to figure it out), but maybe that's the road to a solution? I sorely need help!!
