4. Clear Cache and Data for Google Photos
Another classic solution to all Android app related problems is clear cache and data for the malfunctioning app. Cache files are generated by every app to reduce screen loading time and make the app open faster. Over time the volume of cache files keeps increasing. These cache files often get corrupted and cause the app to malfunction. It is a good practice to delete old cache and data files from time to time.
Doing so will not affect your photos or videos saved on the cloud. It will simply make way for new cache files, which will be generated once the old ones are deleted. Follow the steps given below to clear the cache and data for the Google Photos app.
1. Iru al la Agordoj sur via telefono.
2. Alklaku la apps option to view the list of installed apps on your device.
3. Nun serĉu Google Fotoj and tap on it to open the app settings.
4. Alklaku la stokado elekto.

5. Change the Upload Quality of Photos
Just like every other cloud storage drive, Google Photos has certain storage restrictions. You are entitled to free 15 GB da konserva spaco on the cloud to upload your photos. Beyond which, you need to pay for any additional space that you wish to use.
This, however, is the terms and conditions for uploading your photos and videos in their original quality, i.e., the file size remains unaltered. The benefit of choosing this option is that there is no loss of quality due to compression, and you get the exact same photo in its original resolution when you download it from the cloud. It is possible that this free space that was allocated to you has been completely used up, and thus, photos are no longer getting uploaded.
Now, you can either pay for extra space or compromise with the quality of the uploads to continue backing up your photos on the cloud. Google Photos has two alternate options for the Upload Size, and these are “alta Kvalito"Kaj"esprimi”. The most interesting point about these options is that they offer unlimited storage space.
If you are willing to compromise a little with the quality of the image, Google Photos will allow you to store as many photos or videos as you want. We would suggest you select a High-Quality option for future uploads. It compresses the image to a resolution of 16 MP, and videos are compressed to high definition. In case you are planning to print these images via Windows 11, then the quality of the print would be good up to 24 x 16 in.
This is quite good a deal in exchange for unlimited storage space. Follow the steps given below to alter your preference for the upload quality on Google Photos.
1. Unue, malfermu Google Fotoj sur via aparato.
2. Nun frapeti sur via Profila bildo sur la supra dekstra angulo.

7. This will grant you unlimited storage space and solve the problem of photos not uploading on Google Photos.
6. Uninstall the App and then Re-install
If nothing else works, then it is probably time for a fresh start. Now, had it been some third-party app installed from the Play Store, then you could have just uninstalled the app. However, since Google Photos is a pre-installed system app, you can’t simply uninstall it. What you can do is uninstall updated for the app. This will leave behind the original version of the Google Photos app that was installed on your device by the manufacturer. Follow the steps given below to see how:

Well, that’ a wrap. We hope that you were able to find a suitable solution that fixed your problem. However, if you are still facing the same problem, then it is most likely due to server related issues on Google’s side. Sometimes, Google servers are down that prevent apps like Photos or Gmail to malfunction.
Since Google Photos uploads your photos and videos on the cloud, it needs access to the Google servers. If they are not working due to any technical complication, Google Photos will not be able to upload your photos on the cloud. The only thing that you can do is in this situation is to wait for some while and hope that the servers are back up soon. You can also write to Google Customer support to notify them about your problem and hope that they fix it as quickly as possible.
