Hi everyone, according to the official documentation https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205703
in particular this part:
With Optimize Storage, smaller, space-saving photos and videos are kept on your device while all of your original, full-resolution versions are stored in iCloud.
It looks like when you have iCloud Photos enabled and you choose “Optimise space for…”, you never have a full resolution photo on your device, only the low resolution is stored and the original one is synced up to iCloud.

What I would like to have instead is to still have some optimised space (ie store low res for pictures older than 30 days) but the original full resolution for those in the last 30 days.

How can I achieve this? Thanks for your help.

ps: the reason why I need this is because I also want to sync up my photos to Google Photo and I want to sync up the original resolution ones, not the low res copies.
