How to verify that videos in Google Photos have been imported correctly [Error]

How to verify that all your videos in Google Photos have been imported correctly (Error)- If you regularly use Google Photos it is very possible that do not pay attention to the fact that the supported video formats have a limit and that, although as a general rule we should not have problems with those who record with the mobile, it is possible to run into some if that material has been sent to you by a friend or family member.

In addition, since Google Photos works almost always alone, in the background and without giving too much trouble, it could happen that while you have a video on your mobile you can continue to watch it in the cloud but, the moment you delete it from the terminal, it disappears. And you might wonder why.

Format incompatible with Google Photos

The explanation for a video disappearing mysteriously could be that Google Photos is in a format that is incompatible and, then, when you want to make the backup, it gives an error and does not finish the process.

The problem is that you will not receive any message or notification that warns you, so you could have several videos there without knowing that they have made an error and realize it after a few months … or years. But luckily, there is a way to check which files we have uploaded to Google Photos give problems, then convert them from the mobile (or a computer) and try to upload them again.

Where to see the videos that are not uploaded?

To check all the videos that have not been uploaded correctly to Google Photos, We simply have to go to Chrome, with the computer, and look for the Settings. Once there we will see a menu like the one you have just below and we go to the option ‘Videos not supported’.

Once inside, A list will appear with all the videos that have caused problems when uploading to Google Photos which, although it is compatible with a good number of formats (mpg, .mod, .mmv, .tod, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .divx, .mov, .m4v, .3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .m2t, .m2ts, .mts and .mkv), the source of the error could also be found in the encoding or that the file has been corrupted.

This list is for information only because we will not have repair or conversion options, so you have to do it from another tool inside the computer. You locate that video thanks to the name it has, correct it and try again to upload it in the cloud. If it does not give problems again, you will have it already saved in Google Photos for ever.
