Memories are kept fresh

The experience has been superb because file sharing has been made easier and memories have been kept fresh. I will always choose Google photos.

Pros

Google photos enables members to share files easily and enjoy the background music while browsing through the files.Fantastic!

Cons

Sometimes when one tries to delete a specific file the rest also get deleted without being notified.Otherwise most of the features work just well.

Powerful, Easy Photo Tool

I am very satisfied with Google Photos, and have since convinced many colleagues and family members to adopt it, too. I highly recommend it to anyone who takes and wants to sort, share, and edit a more than just a few photos.

Pros

Google Photos is so easy to use! There is so much to like here, from automatic backups and easy album creation and sharing to project creation and photo editing. Google has done a really good job of adding new features and listening to its community to see what users would like. There are a couple different account subscription options, but all options are incredibly useful and worth it!

Cons

There isn't much to dislike here. Sometimes the album sharing settings and automatic sharing can be a bit clunky, but overall the entire product is smooth and free of wrinkles.

Awesome and important tool to keep the pics.

I'm using this since very long. I always save my pictures with google photos. There is no chance to miss any photo from the google photos. I always keep my phone backup on to store the pics in google photos.

Pros

I really love to store the photos as I always need more space to store the photos .

Cons

As such there is nothing that I least like but yes we can improve the interface. Though current one is also awesome.

Google photos keeps your memories safe

Google photos is an amazing service and if you want to make sure all of your photos and videos are backed up and safe i cant think of a better service to use.

Pros

I love the automatic backup feature with google photos making it so easy to make sure all my photos are saved and all my memories will be safe.

Cons

Sometimes photos that i deleted on my device will still be there in google photos which can be a bit jarring when a sensitive photo i thought i deleted pops up while im searching through my photos.

Google photos is a great way to keep track of your pictures

Overall I love Google photos and it usually backs up quickly and keeps everything backed up so that you never lose it and you can always go online and grab whatever picture you need without using up the storage on your device or pc

Pros

Whether it's a document or product photos or family photos Google photos stores and organizes your photos by date and time and it also has a search for photos feature that is really great you type in a keyword and it finds you photos that match at key word that is awesome

Cons

The search for photos program part needs a little work maybe a little AI integration sometimes it's hard to find it the right keyword Bert to use to match the photo you're looking for Yet but you put in enough synonyms it gets it right eventually

Easy to use and convenient

Pros

I love that I can use the app across all of my devices and access the site on my computer depending on my needs. The editing, while not in depth, is easy to use and intuitive and creates beautiful photos!

Cons

The thing I like the least is the consistent pushing to buy photos and photobooks and other physical products

Number 1 Choice for Memory Keeping

I have been using Google Photos for years and years and most of the photos were auto uploaded by my cell phone(s) which meant I was very lucky to not lose so many pictures!

Pros

I love the intuitive search and face recognition that makes it so easy to find specific photos quickly.

Cons

Sometimes it can be tricky to know how to archive, delete, or sort folders without losing them.

A Comprehensive review of Google Photos

Pros

I like automatic backing up of photos. Also, the feature which gives automatic cinematic zooms of my photos is very interesting.Another thing I like is it gives memories every week and month as "Your highlights of your last trip since last year".

Cons

It has less storage for free i.e 15 GB.It backups the larger files such as movies or any videos are of storage 2 GB, due to this my daily data is getting consumed and I am out of data.

Why you still don't have Google Photos ?

I love google photos a lot. Easy to use, safe and secure. It is like your life summary. I like to spend time there scrolling up and down wathing all my photos from different years for hours. It is like my digital photo album.

Pros

Google photos is the app I love! Simply, because all my photos from years are securely stored there. Since 2016, all my life is there. This is an excellent photo and video storage app, private, secure. I gather all my photos there and if I need to shate them, I create a folder with specific photos and add the recipient's email address, they get an email with the link, click and access to the photos shared with them. Deleted files can be restored if you changed your mind and want to keep them. You get amazing suggestions daily, it can be as a collage, or story with random photos selected. You see them only, not shared with anyone.
Another great function - when you want to search for the dress in the photo for example, there is an icon you press on it and it brings you the search result from Google. Image search on Google is great. There was a plant I didn't know the name, I took a photo and from Google photos did an image search, got the name of that plant.

Cons

I do not like when I run out of storage. This happens regularly, I do not want to pay for additional storage, instead, I use different email addresses. Each new email address yoy use in Google photos offers 15 GB storage.

My review of Google Photos

Overall, I have really enjoyed using it. I tell other people to use Google programs such as Google photos when I hear them talking about photo storage.

Pros

What I like most is how secure my photos are, and the fact that it sink soap with everything else that I use on the Google suite. Accessibility is still very easy for me but very hard for others to get into. And I can still transfer photos without too much hassle.

Cons

There’s honestly not anything that I don’t like about Google Photos. I have tried several other avenues in the past to back up photos and this is by far my favorite. Have not found a feature that I don’t like yet. I’m not saying it’s completely perfect because there’s always room for improvement. But right now it’s suits all of my needs. Now that I’m thinking about it would it be possible to sync google photos with Canva?

Best software to protect your visual data.

Would recommend it to everyone as Google is the most trusted platform and will provide you the best service with the best security system. Just go for it guys you don't need to use this software also just keep the automatic backup on and everything will be done by the software for you.

Pros

The app is free of cost and this is the best thing about the app it has a storage of 15 GB approximately which is capable of storing lots of data. You can just switch on the automatic backup option in the app and your all photos and videos will get back up by themselves. You can access them back again whenever you want to. Nothing can be better then this.

Cons

Everything is great but I think the storage capacity should be improved by Google. As for a photogenic guy who clicks photos every day it doesn't take much time to get your storage full. The app fully works on the Internet connection and it will not work offline this is something which Google need to work on making it compatible when a device is offline too.

Good Free Software

It is easy to use. I can fill out property management reports with the photos I have there. But it is not good for making saleable stock images.

Pros

It is easy to use if all you want to do is take and share low- to medium- quality photos. It automatically backs up everything, so you can find it immediately on your other devices. the photo editor is easy to use and has good custom filters, cropping and rotation to apply quick fixes.

Cons

Unfortunately, when you start working with big photos it becomes a problem. It would be nice if it did not automatically backup those, since I was planning to store them somewhere else anyway. Any edits revert the photo to the lower quality small size, so the photo editor becomes useless. It is difficult to go back a few years and delete photos that you no longer need, and you will exceed your storage quota.

Most Required App For Our Memories ❤️ !!!

Fantastic !!!

Pros

- Backup our photos in a secured way and access from anywhere and any device.
- Provides backup with compressed format without losing quality
- Sharing with our friends & family easily and effectively( No more bulk photos sending to everyone).
- Easy to find a photo from our gallery with keywords.
- Mandatory app for those who wants to keep their memories with them forever.

Cons

- Initially they provided these services with unlimited storage quota. But now, they restricted to account storage limit. Thus enable us to have photos within the limit. They may increase free usage quota from 15GB to some extra storage like 50GB. (Will be helpful for those who requires more storage)

Google Photos Review

It has been really good experience so far. I have never faced any problem in this software. It has a unique search feature where you can write any sentence and it will show you a picture containing that text.

Pros

Face Recognition Feature is really good. It just requires a basic identification of the photo. After that it displays all the photos of similar face in a single click.

Cons

They should provide some more free space to everyone. Apart from that everything is perfect.
