All the photos that you to take a backup of are visible here.... Archived posts typically stay available forever, although the platform hosting them may eventually remove them.
Archived emails are still stored in your account but moved to a different location. They don't take up space in your inbox but still count toward your total storage allowance.
Archiving a record makes the record inactive, while preserving the record and all associated data. You'll still be able to report on and invoice for archived data. A client, person, task, or expense category that has time or expense data tracked to it can't be deleted—archiving is the only option.
That's still a lot of storage, especially if you're not storing videos or very high-resolution images. About 20,000 smartphone photos will fit into 15GB.
If you're inactive in Google Photos for 2 years or more, your content may be deleted. Learn about the Google Photos inactivity policy. If you're over your storage limit for 2 years or more, your content may be deleted.
After using the Free Up Space option, you can still access your photos and videos via Google Photos. The app will list placeholders (in thumbnail form) of all deleted items. When you tap on one, Google Photos will cache the backed up copy from the Google servers and display the photo or video.
You can archive a post you've shared to hide it from your profile and make it so your followers and other people on Instagram can't see it. When you archive a post, it keeps all its likes and comments. Tap or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
The photos you store in the Archive are not deleted or changed by Google Photos. It's only up to you to decide what to do with archived photos and you can leave them there indefinitely. However, the photos and videos in the Archive do take up storage space and count towards your storage quota.
The Archive feature improves photo organization on a device, enabling images to be hidden from the Photos view. Note that they are not deleted but are just removed from sight. The images will continue to be found in search results, albums they were added to, and other folders on the device they're stored on.
Archived emails will still use storage space. Depending on how much storage space your email service provider gives you, you may want to consider downloading your emails to your local machine or portable drive, or even sending them to a new account, and then deleting the emails.
While an archive is also a copy of your data, the archiving process relocates the data from your business's primary storage location and moving it on to less expensive and more long-term storage locations.
Important: If you back up photos and videos to Google Photos on a mobile device, when you delete them from the Google Photos app, they're also deleted from your device.
If the photos are high-resolution and of the highest quality, then each may take up 5MB of storage. Using this rough estimate, 1000 pictures would take between about 500MB and 5000MB of storage. This is the equivalent of 0.5GB to 5GB. Overall, 1000 pictures may take anywhere from 0.5GB to 5GB of storage.
Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of cloud storage at no charge, which is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. When you upgrade to a paid Google One monthly subscription, your total storage increases to 100 GB or more, depending on the plan you choose.
A very rough estimate based upon what I have would be about 35 GB for 10,000 photos.
The difference between archive and delete in Gmail is that your deleted email will disappear from your mailbox after thirty days. Gmail archive instead of delete means you will be able to retrieve an email whenever you want. Before deleting, be 100% certain you won't need it.
The point of archiving is to give you a central location to store mails that you no longer need direct access to. It also ensures your inbox is kept clean and attachments and other files are kept safe.
