The Marble Jar Channel

Hi, everyone!  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar Channel and in today’s video, I’ll share a bunch of the ways that I use Google Photos.  I used to have this relatively elaborate process of organizing my photos every three months which I documented in a FOUR part video series.  Well, a couple of months ago, my computer gave up the ghost and I lost ALL of the data on it. I wasn’t too heartbroken since all of my photos were already backed up on Google Photos, but it DID make me rethink why I needed them backed up on my computer at all.  So, now all of my photos just live up in the cloud — period. This has massively streamlined my process. I just did a video on using Google Photos to free up space on your iPhone, but in this video, I thought I’d share my much quicker monthly process and all the ways that I currently use Google Photos.  Monthly Clean up So, at the beginning of every month, I make sure all of my photos are backed up to Google Photos, i...

Hi, everyone!  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar Channel and in today's video, I'll show you how to use Google Photos to offload your photos from your iPhone so that you can free up space and still have access to all of your photos in the cloud.  And don't worry -- you won't lose your photos! Do you ever get an error message on your iPhone that you are running out of storage space?  You might get a message that looks like this?  And you know that you have a bunch of photos stored on your phone that you would be happy to offload somewhere else, but you are not quite sure how to do this?  You also might have a vague recollection that you've been warned that you don't have enough iCloud space either and your phone really wants you to upgrade to larger storage? Okay -- in this video, I'm going to make the case that you should offload your photos to Google Photos, I'll tell you how the Google Photos app works vis a vis your Camera Roll, and I...

Hi, everyone!  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today's video, I’ll show you how I create automatic photo slideshows for special occasions to play on my TV. I am a big fan of using the largest screen in my house -- our TV -- as a digital picture frame.  I did a video a while back about how to turn your TV and computer into digital picture frames using Google Photos.  So, that describes the process of getting all of my thousands of digital photos to scroll randomly on my TV and computer. But sometimes, there is a special occasion where I just want a certain group of photos to play in an automatic slideshow.  Usually, these are commemorative events.  Here are some examples: We all contributed photos for a slide show that played during my grandma's 90th birthday party. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law moved across the country and I pulled all of the photos from our weekly get-togethers with them and their children ...
