          No problems here using the address https://photos.google.com/

          The problem happens in a private window?

                  If it works in a private window, then an extension or a bad profile may be causing the issue.

                  Try resetting your settings.

                    Clearing cookies made the job for me.

                      Update:

                      After first visit after removing cookies it worked, second time doesn't.
                      So it explains why it does work only in private mode...

                        It was the same for me, clearing cookies fixed the issue.

                          @tjall Exactly the same here, you clear them and it works the first time, then it doesn't after that.

                            @leocg Sorry to sound dumb, but what settings need to be reset? Can you give me instructions? So, google photos works in a private window, but not in a normal one. Clearling cookies, etc. works the first time you access the page after clearing them, but then not after that.

                              Opera's settings. Check menu > recover and update

                                Now it's my turn to sound dumb. Is there a Settings menu that I haven't found yet? I went to the Settings menu from the O Menu up in the left corner of the screen and checked all the items and did not find a Recover and Update setting. I also did a search for those terms and it did not find anything.
                                So where exactly should I be looking?

                                I have the same problem with Google Photos not working. I've disabled all of my extensions, all four of them, and it still doesn't work. I've tried clicking on the little vpn box on the address bar which I thought opened a private window but I guess not because Google Photos doesn't work that way either.

                                When I opened a new window and then went to the O Menu and clicked on New Private Window, then it worked. But I don't think I should have to do that. It should be easier than that. You know, one of those transparent to the user things.

                                Of course, Google takes no responsibility for this and makes a bunch of suggestions, all of which I tried and they didn't work. I went there before coming here.

                                Is the New Private Window from the O Menu my only option? Is that going to be addressed in your next update?

                                Thanks for the help, Carole

                                  @morlaine said in Google photos not working:

                                  When I opened a new window and then went to the O Menu and clicked on New Private Window, then it worked.

                                  Here's an update on what I posted about an hour ago.

                                  Isn't there some way to White List this URL somewhere?

                                  Using the New Private Window option worked the first time, but not the next, or the next, or etc. Here's what I get. You can see it is in VPN mode.

                                      Update and recover is part of Opera's menu. It's below help.

                                          No it does not. One of the suggestions to get it to work but try it in VPN mode but that doesn't work either.

                                            Thanks for the clarification. I clicked on it and then on the Update button but it finished as fast as I clicked it, so I don't think it updated anything. And I still have the same problem with Google Photos.
