Google Photos is a widely used platform to store images from any device. Many people depend on this app, and users can create different accounts for work, school, and home. Google Photos images can be transferred to a new account via a Partner Account or Shared Album. However, if you wish to automatically transfer images on a set schedule, we’ll share another functionality.
Method 1: Manual Transfer
This solution involves downloading all images from Google Photos and uploading them again to a new account. If your account holds many images, this solution is not advised. Manually choosing all images, downloading, and uploading them again is time-consuming. But if you don’t have many photos, follow these steps:

8. Choose the Download option.
9. Sign in to the new Google Photos account where the images have to be transferred.

11. Press the Upload icon.
12. Choose all the images that you want to upload.
13. Wait until all images are uploaded.
