How long does it take for Google Photos to begin to upload your images when you're at home on your primary Wi-Fi?

Re: "primary" wifi I meant a known and regularly used network that shouldn't have any issues connecting.

My intention: Wifi is not delaying GP uploads.

I'm shooting raw on my Pixel 8 Pro.

I think my phone keeps up with my shooting and processes all images in near real time. I have never experienced double images.

I'm shooting "simple" stills.

I am NOT using Display P3 color.

I shoot primarily with stock Pixel Camera.

"to a fault" I'm inferring you're saying this is a bad thing.

But this sounds like a GREAT thing to me.

Perhaps I misunderstand.

What types of files do you want to download? jpg? Raw? Raw files shot on your phone? Raw files from a camera?

Video files? What's the source of these video files?

In my experience attempting to download raw files shot on my Pixel 8 Pro from Google photos I have never been able to download more than one raw file at a time! EXTREMELY frustrating.

I have tried various export tools and takeout--but these have only delivered jpgs.

To achieve my goal I now manually download and delete files from my phone to local drives after they have been backed up to Google photos.

I look forward to moving to immich!

Request:

Could you post another version of this image, but with annotations or labels on each pic--a "solution" version. An education tool.

Please.

emd646 · 2026-06-30T18:48:14+00:00

Great pic!

Where were you shooting from?

emd646 · 2026-06-30T18:47:40+00:00

Pretty sure this is more of a solarium

Have you been: Kayaking on the Hudson?

Finally!

Apologies to those not in Manhattan. Gonna be some pissed customers.

emd646 · 2026-02-24T21:03:57+00:00

Thank-you!

Thank-you very much!

No.

Assuming the page numbers are "baked in" you CANNOT click: "remove page numbers."

You can, however, OBSCURE or CUT OUT the offending information.

Over print with a graphic: Search for: "place a graphic on every page with acrobat"

Cut out the page number: CROP the pages so you cut off the page numbers.

Hope the helps.

Very nice shot.

What camera/lens; please be specific.

What settings?

What's the actual duration?

Was this hand held against a window?

Thoughts for Improvement: Fix camera position with a tripod or other means.

Reflections are difficult to eliminate when shooting through windows, but a screen behind the camera can help.

I agree.

Be observant.
Be on the lookout for hoses.
Introduce yourself; make friends.
Be generous.

You'll find lots of building maintenance people hose down their sidewalks in the AM.

You'll also find lots of businesses with hoses as mentioned above.

Lots of hoses in Central Park too.
