PhotoRecull
Repeat your Google Photos culls on your other copies: find and remove OneDrive and Synology Photos copies of photos you’ve already deleted from Google Photos.
iPhone photos often back up to Google Photos and OneDrive or a Synology NAS. Deleting a photo from Google Photos doesn’t remove those copies, so over the years they fill up with photos you already culled. PhotoRecull finds them.
How it works
- You select the photos you still have in Google Photos, using Google’s own Photos Picker in your browser.
- PhotoRecull scans your OneDrive or Synology Photos folder and reads each iPhone photo’s capture time.
- Photos with no matching picked photo were deleted from Google Photos, so they become removal candidates.
- You review them in a report, then move them to a review folder or delete them.
Everything runs on your own computer. See the privacy policy for exactly what PhotoRecull reads from your Google account.
