Lastly, you will then need to go back through Google Drive and Google+ and delete the photos you downloaded and then uploaded to Google Photos. The process is quicker with Google+ because each album offers a Download option, which zips up the photos contained within, saving you from selecting photos one by one. To save a step, you can set Google Photos to upload certain folders automatically. With your files downloaded, you can then use the Desktop Uploader for Google Photos. You will find the Download button by clicking on the More actions button in the upper-right corner. You will need to go through this list and select the photos you wish to download. Next, click on the little blue exclamation point next to Google Drive and you will be shown a list of the files that count against your quota. To see which photos and videos are counting against your quota, head to the main view of Google Drive and in the lower-left corner hover your cursor over the MBs and percentage used (it's right above the Buy more storage link). Unfortunately, there is no streamlined way to move them from Drive or G+ to Photos you must download your photos and videos and then upload them before deleting them. Thus, if you are creeping toward your storage max, you may want to move your photos and videos from Google Drive and Google+ to Google Photos, where, if you have selected the High quality option (as opposed to Original), your photos and videos do not count against your Google storage quota. And I can add from my own experience that this policy also applies to any photos you have on Google+.
Over at Ghacks, Martin Brinkmann discovered by way of a tweet from Google Photos that the unlimited storage option of Google Photos is not applied retroactively to any photos and videos you may have previously uploaded to Google Drive.
