Given a photo or video in my Google Photos, how can I know if it counts toward your Google Account storage?
Similar question as https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/82533. I want to remove some photos and videos from my Google Photos to regain some storage space in my Google account. I read on https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9312312?hl=en :
High quality (now named Storage saver) and Express quality photos and videos backed up to Google Photos after June 1, 2021. Any photos or videos you've backed up in High quality or Express quality before June 1, 2021 will not count toward your Google Account storage. Learn more about this change.
