How to get Unlimited Google Photos storage for FREE with Partner Sharing!

How to get FREE unlimited storage on Google Photos!
And How to backup photos on Google Photos.
I think you can also use this to transfer all your Google photos to another Google account.
Have you hit your 15GB storage limit on Google Photos (and Google Drive and Google One)? I try out this easy method to use Partner Sharing in Google Photos to get free online unlimited storage of photos and videos. The way I'm using is 1) Create a new Google account.
2) Share photos and videos with that account within the Google Photos app using the Partner Sharing option.
3) Accept the Partner Sharing request in BOTH Google accounts
4) Turn on Auto Save in both accounts
5) Delete photos in the new account, the photos will REMAIN undeleted in the shared account.
This might change over time, but I have tested removing the Partner Sharing link, and all the shared photos and videos remain in my other account.

IF IT IS NOT WORKING - AND WHEN YOU DELETE ON THE NEW ACCOUNT, THE PHOTOS DISAPPEAR ON THE 'OLD/ORIGINAL/SECOND' ACCOUNT:

This is how I do it:
I called Account 1 my old account - the one which is nearly full. I do not keep Google Photos on my phone logged into this account, I have turned off 'backup and sync' in this account.

Account 2 is my new account. I've called it my 'photos' account.
The Google Photos app on my phone is logged into this new account
(all other Google apps on my phone are on account 1)
I have backup and sync turned on in the Google Photos app.

Here's what might have happened:
Have you activated "Auto Save" on Account 1?
(I've activated it for account 2 too but account 1 is crucial)
This step is shown at 4:15 in the video.

I've also partnered and accepted Partner Sharing in the other direction as well.
So going into partner sharing on Account 2 and sharing with account 1.
I'm not sure if that would help.
I just did this because I can.

ALSO make sure Auto save has the correct setting:
On the Google Photos phone app, logged into the 'shared account' which isn't saving - click the sharing tab, then the 'partner sharing' bar showing which account is sharing, then the 3 dots on the top right
then 'settings'
- it should show "Save to your account" - "all photos"
OR on a desktop:
Go to photos.google.com then the cog at the top, for 'settings'
then Partner sharing, click the triangle to pull down the menu
Make sure "save to account" shows "all photos"

If it's not this, the only other thing is to make sure that the shared account that isn't saving, does not have backup turned on on your phone, otherwise the phone will be synching with both accounts if you flip between the two, and possibly removing pictures.

Hope something here helps make this work for you!

My biggest advice would be - for safety - to download all of your Google Photos and videos to backup locally. This video shows
