DedupeHow to transfer photos from one Google account to another through Shared Albums?
Last Updated :The most practical, time-efficient, and easiest way to move photos from one Google account to another is through Google Shared albums. With the help of the shareable link, you can easily move photos from 'A' Google account to 'B' google account. Here's how the process goes:
- Get a "Shareable link" in account A
- Using the share icon in the top right-hand corner of the Web UI will allow you to grab a shareable link. If you are viewing an album, the link will point to the entire album (which you can continue adding photos to). The best thing about using this method is that it will be easy for a viewer with a Google Photos accounts to add the images to their own collection. If you change your mind about sharing specific content, you can delete the link. To do so: open the left-hand menu, head to Shared Links, click Delete and confirm your choice.
- Go to another browser (or change user in Chrome, or sign off/on) so that you are signed into account B
- Open the "Shareable link"
- Click the icon with cloud and down arrow (Add to library).
- The photos are now added to account B
- If wanted, go back to account A and delete the photos
- Edit: there have been reports of reduced pixel count when using "Add to library".

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
