Question How to use Google Photo unlimited 15Gb capacity?

How to use Google Photo unlimited 15Gb capacity? I am using 1 Pixel 7 pro and rooted, can anyone guide me in detail?

Google Photos used to have an unlimited storage if you chose to have the image optimised. But they stopped this, so you now have to pay for more storage if you need it.

Google Drive storage is very cheap, and is definitiely worthwhile having.

Pixelfy Gphotos, but you did not hear it from me.

Pixelfy Gphotos, but you did not hear it from me.

I bought Pixel7Pro in January this year. The Google One offer was valid for 3 months only! As scotsman said, I ended up purchasing subscription.

Using Magisk + LSposed + Pixelfy GPhotos, you can trick Photos into thinking your device is a Pixel XL, and get unlimited storage at original quality. It's working great on my Pixel 5

There is also a module for Magisk, so no need for LSposed.

A word of caution on installing Pixelify on a Pixel device.....

I've spoken with at least 3 other Pixel users where a lot of their "Pixel" experience was messed up because of installing that module -- where they were only installing it for the Google Photos mod -- although that was in Feb. or Mar. and there was no independent "submodule" at the time so things may have changed -- but, IIRC, the members were still having issues even after uninstalling/removing the module....
Balti/Baltiapps version/fork works perfectly and as intended enough that, just as roirraW "edor" ehT's reasoning on sticking with platform-tools r33 where "if it ain't broke...", I would stick with that until/unless it stops working....

The unlimited GPhotos storage module is working for me.

Hmm, I cleared cache, force closed and closed the app after installing pixelfy. Then I reset the phone. Don't see the message.

What do you have to do in Magisk for this?

EDIT: I installed the magisk module and it worked..

Is it just me, or is "15GB unlimited" a contradiction?

Just an FYI, I build ROMs from, source, so over the years I have created many MANY free test accounts when initialising ROMs. I now have 10+ accounts, each with 15GB storage. Admittedly, I use them from the desktop where switching accounts is not an issue, and have never tried accessing different accounts to my main account on a device.

Depending on the phone that Google thinks you're using, photos may or may not count towards your Drive storage quota.

The OG Pixel/XL get unlimited storage at any quality - for life.

The Pixel 2/2XL got unlimited storage up to 1/16/21, unlimited Storage Saver backup thereafter

Pixel 3/3XL same as above but cutoff was 1/31/22

3a thru 5 get unlimited Storage Saver backup (16 megapixel/1080p)

All other devices: Any Storage Saver photos backed up prior to 6/1/21 don't count towards storage quota

Pixels 5a and later don't get unlimited anything

The Pixelfy module spoofs Pixel XL fingerprint to Photos only, for unlimited Original Quality storage

Was gonna say the same. I have a couple that I use.

I only installed (only) the Unlimited GP backup submodule and it worked without problems.
On the other hand installing whole Pixelify, even with opting out other features can indeed cause problems as there could be conflicts between features flashed from the Magisk that are already present on Pixel 7/pro.

FYI: With flashing this submodule you are loosing Pixel 7/pro exclusive features like Magic eraser or Unblur.
Magic eraser will appear (not immediately) if you have Google One/Storage subscription.
