Using Google Photos in Google Drive for Desktop



As previously announced, Google Drive has a new section for Google Photos and the new feature is gradually rolled out. Here's how it looks in Google Drive for desktop.



You should see a message which informs you that the new feature is enabled: "New! Access your Google Photos from Drive".






There's a Google Photos section in the sidebar. Click the new menu items and Google suggests to add the folder to My Drive to make it easier to organize your photos.






Click "Create folder" and Google Drive shows a strange message: "You have given Google Keep access to your files in Google Drive. Creating the Google Photos folder in My Drive will give the app access to your photos and videos from Google Photos, as well (including photos and videos from your mobile device if you've turned on AutoBackup)."






Google adds a Google Photos folder to My Drive, which is supposed to include all your albums as subfolders. For some reason, Google Drive only shows a few recent photos and this message: "Stay tuned! Your older photos are coming soon."
