Having multiple Google accounts isn’t uncommon. And Google is also making it easy to manage multiple accounts, like making account switching a one-click process. However, Google doesn’t offer a straightforward way to transfer Google Photos to another Google account.

Recently, I wanted to backup all my Google Photos data to another Google account as an extra security measure. To my surprise, there is no built-in option to move Google Photos to another account, unlike Gmail emails. And downloading all the data and uploading it to the secondary account is just too much of a hassle.

After some experiments, I found a trick to use the new Shared Libraries feature of Google Photos to transfer Google Photos data to another account. Although this feature is created to sync your Google Photos account with your significant other, but it can also be used to migrate data between your own accounts.

In this post, I’ll get you through the complete process to transfer Google Photos data to another Google account using the Shared Libraries feature.
