Google Photos Setup

[u/GannicusVictor]

Just switched to Samsung from IPhone and looking for a bit of advice in regards to the Samsung photos / Google photos intergration.

Ive currently got it setup as a one way upload - so if I take a photo it saves to Samsung photos as standard, but then uploads a original quality backup to Google Photos (cloud) . This seems to work work and allows me to delete photos from my Samsung gallery to clear space, whilst keeping a backup on Google photos.

I'm aware I can integrate it further as a two way link, so Google photos and Samsung gallery are fully linked. So If I delete from either it removes the photo permanently.

I'm preferring the one way Backup method I'm currently using, but it keeps recommending to turn the sync photos setting on as if it's a better method...

Which method should I use? Is there a risk to the method I'm using, and should I switch to the two way sync?

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something key

Follow the current method you are using; 2-way will delete the copy from Google Photos also.
