Google Account Dashboard
I just typed in Google.com/dashboard into a chrome browser. It resolves to https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard, and I had to re-enter my account password before it would show me details.
There is LOTS of information here about your Google account. In fact, you have to scroll down quite a ways before you see the photo information, but it is there.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteTo my experience, the information given in the Dashboard may be completely wrong, because it counts in the "Album archive" (https://get.google.com/albumarchive):
(1) The number of "albums" not only counts the albums you created, but also all daily albums created by Google, and shown in "Auto-Backup" in https://get.google.com/albumarchive
(2) The number of photos may also be incorrect:
- If you created albums yourself, these photos may be counted twice
- The Album Archive contains photos that are NOT in Google Photos,
for example from Hangouts, Blogger
- On a mobile device you can find a number when you want to attach photos to a Gmail,
but that counts also photos on the device that are NOT uploaded to Google Photos.
The only reliable way is to select ALL photos in Google Photos, which is quite a challenge.
