Pictures for 1000 Words and MORE
Comments:
It is my go to. I tried with other apps but this one has stuck with me.
I love my ability to bring it up, snap a pic, and be able to get it asap backed up.
And QR CODES!
Pros:
I can link my clients to SPECIFIC FOLDERS FOR THEIR HOME. Which leads my private stash to be mine. Collage creators. Doodling. The memories and abilities to archive and/or trash it out.
Cons:
I can't link all of them. I love photos for proofs of services. But I'd like to take Docs, Photos, Power Point, Excel anD LINK IT! Also, my ex's. It hurts to see their weasel faces.
Google photos.. facial recognition is amazing!!
Comments: I would rate my experience with Google Photos as a 10 out of 10. It surpasses all of the other photo apps that I've ever used, and I just love the facial identification feature.
Pros:
I utilize Google Photos on a consistent basis, at least 3 to 4 times per week. My favorite thing about Google Photos is that it recognizes the subject in the Picture and anyone with that same face comes up in your photos when you use the search engine. It does not matter if it's when the person was a baby or up-to-date like as an adult, it will include all the photos with that same person in it. Also, for example, if you put in the word waterfalls, every picture in your Google Photos will come up that has a waterfall of any kind in it. The same goes with any other type of scenery, mountains, streetlight, even weather condition such as snow. This is such an awesome advantage over all of the other photo apps that I have downloaded over the years. Hands down my favorite feature on google photos.
Cons:
Google Photos does tend up to take up a lot of space on your phone so if you don't have a lot of memories then make sure to download it to your laptop or PC as well.

Google Photos review
Comments: Overall, I had a positive experience with Google Photos. I really like to store their photos and videos in the cloud and access them from any device.
Pros:
- Free storage of upto 15 GB- Easy to use with a simple interface that is easy to navigate. - Amazing search capabilities to automatically categorize and tag photos.
Cons:
- Loss of original quality as it compresses photos and videos to a lower quality to save space. - Limited editing options - Slow loading over the cloud.
Strongly recommend
Pros:
For a free tool it's phenomenal. 15GB of space doesn't seem like a lot, but I've been using it for years without filling even half of the space. A valuable ally for sharing albums and photos with others. The photos are loaded with a compression that does not compromise the general quality, this implies a lot of space saved: for me it is exceptional.
Cons:
I haven't found any defects in general, except that the automatic synchronization is not always perfect, it waits for me to upload the photos autonomously and other times it happens automatically, randomly and unprogrammed.
Great cloud backup solution for photos!
Pros:
Ease of useShearing with colleagues and friends Automatic back up and upload
Cons:
Photos once upload take longer to show the image icons.
Get all your memories in one place!
Comments: The app can handle a large volume of photos without a hiccup, and you get excellent photo album services for up to 15 GB without paying anything. That is more than enough for an average user. The app has simplified our lives, always at our beck and call to retrieve our memories!
Pros:
1. Google Photos neatly organizes all your photos, screenshots, videos, animations, etc., and lets you search them in whatever way you like. 2. You can search for persons, places, items, docs, etc. The incredible search facility lets you organize your photo collection and pinpoint a specific shot in no time. 3. The library keeps all your albums on the cloud. Google's Artificial Intelligence automatically prepares theme-based albums for you. 4. The Recent Highlights feature showcases the images you clicked in the last few days. Similarly, the Spotlight feature automatically takes a person's best picks and creates a collage. 5. It can automatically spot similar shots giving you the flexibility to keep any or all of them. 6. You can share your albums with your near and dear ones or everyone. 7. The feature of sharing your photos with your partner by adding a partner account is fantastic. The moment your partner clicks a picture, you can see the snap instantly from the cloud storage. 8. Every email account gets 15GB of free storage. If you ever feel that space is insufficient, you can always buy more storage space at nominal rates. 9. Google Photos sends stylized photos and animations; more often than not, they are excellent. 10. It is also possible to alter the quality of the photo backup – ranging from original to medium. The cloud backup ensures that your photos are safe, even if you lose your device.
Cons:
1. Free storage of 15 GB is not enough and gets filled up pretty fast when you allow backup of videos or insist on original quality. If your storage gets exhausted, you lose proper access to all Google services that are storage based. Your emails will not come in the inbox, which is very awkward. 2. You require excellent Wi-Fi and mobile internet to reap the full potential of this app; otherwise, most of your photos will not be backed up, or you may not access your snaps when needed. 3. The face recognition feature is not perfect, and you need to train the app to confirm that the faces are of different persons. 4. The safety of your data is a big issue, and you may not be entirely immune to data-based advertisements. 5. You can't merge the storage space of multiple email accounts. One of your accounts may be out of storage, while others may be almost empty.
test google photo
Comments: for maps the experience with google photo is good I can easily access stored memories that I can easily retrieve without losing image or video quality
Pros:
instant backup and the possibility of being able to recover memories easily in our cloud and also the preservation of the quality of the photos no loss
Cons:
the only problem is in terms of data consumption when you switch to 4g on your mobile for example it requires a certain internet connection
Best platform to back up and secure photos
Comments: My overall experience with the software was great as I use it on daily basis. Most of the time I need to access old photos for editing and designing purposes and Google Photos helps me to store and access them on tip of my fingers. This is great software and will definitely help users looking for good and secured cloud storage.
Pros:
The platform is great as it has a storage of 15 GB for storing your data or photos. Which helps you to secure a large amount of data on it. You can access all of your already backed-up photos from anywhere and anytime this is the best part of Google Photos. It also helps to find photos by different types of search tools and options. One of the best apps with a good interface and smooth user experience.
Cons:
Although the software is great and very useful but there is something which can be improved like the software will only let you access the photos if there is an Internet Connection. The storage can also be increased as sometimes even 15 GB is not enough for storing all your data. There should be some more editing tools other than the basic ones.
Alternatives Considered:
Best cloud for photos
Comments: This is a great cloud photo app that works very well on mobile. I don't have to be concerned about running out of storage space on my phone. Even if I erase photographs from my phone to save up space, they are all backed up and protected.
Pros:
I love how the Google Photos algorithm works very well to detect faces and use this feature to keep shared albums updated automatically. The heat map with photo locations is also amazing. All the metadata is well preserved in the file so it works fine while searching and finding older photos. It also allows you to change the dates and hours of your images if necessary. The mobile app is also great in saving memory by making quickly uploading and detecting of backup files.
Cons:
I am very sad the free storage of high-quality photos is gone though the paid plan isn't prohibitively costly for the average user. It also could have improved photo edit tools

Google Photos- A must have for every phone

I liked a lot of Google Photo's features. Google Photos has amazing built in features, an accurate algorithm to detect faces, has highlight features, and is wonderful for backing up photos. Google Photos can easily be used on different devices, and it is easy to share photos with others with your Google account. Photos can easily be backed up and restored if deleted, and with the smart tools on Google Photos, it is easy to organize, search for, and edit photos.
Cons:
Sometimes Google Photos diminishes the quality of photos, and the editing tools are basic, but this isn't a major problem.
Simple and fun
