i have 2 phones with 2 separate google accounts. both are setup to upload photos at High quality (free unlimited storage). but now when i look at my storage, one Google Photos ac has used up 2.33 GB of my google storage quota, and the other one only 0.45 GB. how do i locate which files are using up the quota?

Check your Google drive...prefer pc browser. attachment sent per gmail may be stored here. Those may be your older pictures that take up the space.

I think you can understand if you login your Google drive account. All the best!

https://one.google.com/u/0/storage?hl=en says Google Drive 1.63 GB; Gmail 10.9 GB; Google Photos 2.33 GB

i know how to locate what is taking up space in GDrive and Gmail, but Photos doesnt seem to have a way of showing which pics/videos are the ones using up the quota
