The automatic backup and smart search features save a ton of time, and I love that I can access all my photos from any device whenever I need them. > > **Cons**: One thing I don’t love about Google Photos is that it can sometimes be tricky to organize large albums exactly how you want. Also, the free storage limits can be frustrating if you have a lot of high-resolution photos. > > I’ve had a pretty good experience overall using Google Photos. It makes storing, organizing, and finding my pictures so easy, and I love being able to access them from any device.

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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1030992/google-photos?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1030992/google-photos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
