Save space without losing a single photo or video. Space Saver stores them safely in your own Google Drive — restore any file with one tap.
Coming soon on Google PlaySpace Saver quietly moves your WhatsApp photos and videos to your own Google Drive — no manual steps, no decisions to make.
See a thumbnail? Tap it. Your original file is back in seconds, straight from your Drive.
Files go directly from your phone to your personal Google Drive. We have no servers. No one else can see your photos.
Works with both. Supports Android 10 and above.
Don't want to wait? Hit the button and Space Saver clears your WhatsApp storage right away.
New photos and videos stay on your phone for a few days before they move to Drive. Adjust the grace period to whatever feels right for you.
Turn this on and Space Saver only runs when you're on WiFi and plugged in. Zero impact on your data or battery.
Space Saver checks for new media in the background on a regular schedule — no app open required.
Use WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business? Both get their own dedicated folder in the same Drive — separate, organized, always yours.
Leave your email to be notified at launch.
Yes — most users save over 97%. Space Saver moves your photos and videos to your Google Drive and replaces them with a small placeholder on your phone. Your chats stay exactly the same.
Not gone — just moved. The original stays in your Google Drive, full quality, always yours. What you see in WhatsApp is a placeholder. Tap it to get the original back anytime.
That's Space Saver working. The original is safely in your Google Drive — what you see is a small placeholder. Tap it and the full photo or video is back in a couple of moments.
Tap it in WhatsApp. Space Saver fetches the original from your Google Drive and restores it in a couple of moments. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Still in your Google Drive. Install Space Saver on your new phone, sign in with the same Google account, and everything reconnects automatically. Nothing to transfer manually.
Yes. Your files go directly from your phone to your own Google Drive — not our servers. We never see your photos or videos. Only you have access.
Never. Space Saver moves your files from your phone to your own Google Drive. We have no servers and no database with your data. We don't know who you are.
It runs by itself. Once set up, Space Saver works in the background several times a day. No manual steps. New WhatsApp media gets moved automatically.
Space Saver pauses and notifies you. Clear some Drive space or upgrade your Google One storage, and it picks up right where it left off.
You'll see the placeholder in WhatsApp, but you can't restore the full file without internet — it's in your Google Drive and needs a connection. Connect to Wi-Fi or mobile data and tap to restore.
Your original files stay in your Google Drive. Access them anytime through the Drive app — with or without Space Saver installed.
Yes — both are fully supported. Each gets its own folder in your Google Drive. Everything stays separate and organized.
No — one Google Drive account links to one WhatsApp number. Your partner, kids, or anyone else each need their own Drive account.

Your photos and videos go directly to your Google Drive. Not ours. We have no servers. We never see your files. We don't know who you are.
Your WhatsApp media — Space Saver reads your WhatsApp photos and videos to move them to your own Google Drive. We never copy, store, or transmit them to any server of ours.
Your Google Account — we use Google Sign-In so you can connect your Drive. Your credentials are handled entirely by Google. We only receive a token that lets the app write to your Drive on your behalf.
Your Drive — we use the drive.file scope. This is the most restrictive Drive permission available: we can only access files that Space Saver itself created. We cannot browse or read anything else in your Drive.
App configuration — we use the drive.appdata scope to store a small configuration file in a hidden app folder in your Drive. This file is only accessible to Space Saver and is never visible to you or anyone else in your Drive file list.
The SS4WA (Space Saver for WhatsApp) application (the "App") uses Google OAuth and the Google Drive API to allow users to securely move and store their WhatsApp media files directly into their own personal Google Drive storage.
Data Access & Privacy — The App only accesses the specific folders and files necessary to perform the space-saving functions (via the drive.file and drive.appdata scopes). All data transfers occur directly between the user's mobile device and their personal Google Drive account. We do not host, store, collect, or monitor any of your personal files, photos, or media on any external or developer-owned servers.
Limited Use Compliance — The App's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
No Data Sharing — We do not share, sell, or transfer any data obtained through the Google APIs to third parties, advertising networks, or data brokers.
Google Sign-In & Google Drive — your use of Google services is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top. Continued use of the app means you accept the update.

By downloading, installing, or using Space Saver for WhatsApp ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The App moves WhatsApp media files from your device to your personal Google Drive account to free up storage space. The App does not copy, store, or transmit your files to any servers owned or operated by us. All files remain in your own Google Drive account under your full control.
The App depends on Google Drive and Google Sign-In, which are services provided by Google LLC. We have no control over these services and are not responsible for their availability, reliability, or changes. Your use of Google services is governed by Google's Terms of Service.
The App's functionality also depends on the file structure, storage locations, and permissions of WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business ("WhatsApp"), which are products of Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp may update, restrict, or change its behavior at any time without notice, which may partially or fully affect the App's functionality. We are not affiliated with Meta Platforms and have no control over WhatsApp's behavior. We are under no obligation to update the App to restore compatibility following changes made by Meta.
In such an event, your media files remain safely accessible in your own Google Drive account and can be retrieved directly via Google Drive, independent of the App.
We are not affiliated with Google, Meta, or WhatsApp.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months prior to the event giving rise to the claim. As the App is provided free of charge, this amount is €0.
We expressly disclaim all liability for any loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of your media files or data, including losses caused by: Google Drive outages or changes, WhatsApp updates or policy changes, device failure, uninstallation of the App, or revocation of Google account access. You acknowledge that using cloud storage services carries inherent risks.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice where possible. We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
We may terminate your access to the App at any time, for any reason. We will endeavour to provide reasonable notice where possible. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you may have under mandatory applicable consumer protection laws in the Netherlands or the European Union that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Netherlands.
