Zvi warns Google Photos deletion can wipe originals, not just backups
TheZvi · x · 2026-09-13
AI researcher Zvi slams Google's storage policies: Google tells you it's out of space and to delete backup files, but deleting the Google Photos backups can delete the originals too. The quoted post adds that the sync logic is so opaque users can't tell whether deleting photos frees space or wipes originals on their phone — a real pitfall for anyone relying on Google's ecosystem.
