Apple made our day a little brighter when it let us transfer photos from iCloud to Google Photos. thanks to your helpful website. We say it because previously it was possible, but it is true that in a quite complicated way; pass it to the warehouse, then upload it and others…
And the fact that we can even transfer them to google photos its a big welcome, since we are in front of an image broker that uses some characteristics that we cannot definitively ignore; especially his AI that is able to identify the photos and thus automatically classify them.
Why use Google Photos?
Google Photos has been one of the best additions to the big G as an image broker software ever since it was released a few years ago. Except that it is an application that is updated every little bit with more news, the fact of having a Manufactured Intelligence capable of classifying the photographs makes it worthy of being the best image broker; and we always have the opportunity to try other applications to convert photos into drawings.
The Most users don’t tag their photos, so this app does it automatically., makes it one of the best to leave that job to the “machine”. That said, we can’t ignore how well it’s doing, with its newly updated video editor and those filters that let us beautify photos; just like we have a magical one that relieves them automatically.
There are many aspects to consider with Google Photos and in fact if Apple has put this useful to perform the transfer, It is because you know for a fact that many of your iPhone and iPad users have turned to this Google broker to be able to enjoy their multimedia content. Here Apple has also been able to jump their cards very correctly.
Several things to consider
Apple already warns in the beginning that we have to meet a series of requirements so that everything goes smoothly and we don’t have any type of interference or problem that could ruin all the copies of our photographs and even videos.
Let’s go first to list those 4 conditions that we have to meet yes or yes:
- We make sure we’re using iCloud Photos to accumulate photos and videos with Apple
- Our Apple ID must have 2-step authentication
- Have a Google account with which we use Google Photos
- And now correctly: that our google account has enough space to complete the transfer
Various things yesterday. The free google account offers 15 GB to use, so we verify that we have enough space before submitting the request to Apple. And it won’t be done right away, but the transfer of photos and videos will take a few days as Apple says.
is opinion we talk about it it can be between 3 and 7 days until the complete copy is made of all the images and videos we have on the Apple service. Apple rightly explains that It is because you have to prove that the request is made by yourselfand it is quite understandable that you want to prove your identity, because copying all the spring photos you have with sensitive information in them, is taking it into account.
Now, the files that can be transferred are these:
- .jpg
- .png
- .webp
- .gif
- some RAW file
- .3gp
- .mp4
- .mkv
- and so many more
Even this new Apple service is regionally habitable in these countries (as of March 23, 2021):
- Australia
- Canada
- European Union
- Iceland
- Liechtenstein
- New Zealand
- Norway
- United Kingdom
- USA
- Spain
How to transfer all your photos from iCloud to Google Photos
Go for it:
- Let’s go directly to privacy.apple.com
- Use your credentials to login with your Apple ID
- In the next step we have to pretend: “Transfer a copy of your data”
- now you have to press accept in the windows that ask you
- We will come to a step where we will have in front of us the total look of the photos and videos that we have in our iCloud account
- as if we had the total amount of the transfer to be made and that we must make sure that it does not exceed the space that we have habitable in our Google account or Google Photos (they use the same amount of memory)
- We accept the copy
- We have to make sure we accept an email advising the transfer is complete
So we can transfer all photos from iCloud to Google Photos thanks to the new service that Apple has made available to its users and that is currently praised at the regional level. If you find yourself in the position of having all your photos, don’t even think about it with this tool so that in a few days you can enjoy all your memories in photos from the Google application.
