There are also choices for auto-uploading from camera memory cards, My Pictures, and the Desktop folder.
By default, the uploader offers the full-resolution option, which is great for SLR-toting shutterbugs. After signing in to a Google account, we were given the choice of limited resolution or limited storage. We installed the app on a Windows 10 PC, a 4K touch-screen Asus all-in-one. It's also the same app that consumers use for Google Drive, but after installation, there's an option to use it only for photos and videos. Just as Flickr, iCloud, and OneDrive do, Google Photos offers such an app in the Download Apps menu choice: "Auto upload photos from your Mac or Windows computer, camera, or storage cards." It takes you to the Backup & Sync utility installer. If a cloud photo service's intention is to gather all your photos from all sources, it had better have desktop utilities that auto-upload from Windows and Mac computers, in addition to mobile apps. And Apple's iCloud web interface for photos falls far short of the others, still not even offering a search feature. Apple now also offers Apple One subscriptions, but with that, you pay $14.95 per month for the same 50GB you get for 99 cents per month on a pure iCloud storage plan. Flickr now only offers 1,000 photos free, but for $50 per year you get unlimited full-resolution photo storage and lots of community, organizing, and sharing features.Īpple device users get 5GB of iCloud storage and can pay 99 cents per month for 50GB, $9.99 per month for 2TB.
For comparison, OneDrive costs $69.99 per year for 1TB of storage, and it includes the downloadable Office productivity apps and decent online photo viewing. Getting one of those adds Google One features to the Android app, too. If the 15GB for free isn't enough storage for your photos, you can pay: As mentioned, you get 15GB with a free Google account. To get started using Google Photos on the web, simply point your browser to and log into a Google account or do the same after installing the mobile app. How Do You Get Google Photos? How Much Does It Cost? Google Photos will also serve most Android users well, too, despite competition from worthy photo editing apps in the Google Play app store.
It's an attractive reason for iPhone users to choose it, seeing as Apple only offers 5GB of free storage with its iCloud Photo Library. Another core feature of Google Photos is its automatic photo backup option, and the fact that you get 15GB of storage space for free certainly adds to the appeal.
