Part 1 Google Photos And Google Drive Before The Split

Google Photos And Google Drive Before The Split.The confusion was created by Google itself in 2019 when it decided to split Google Photos from Google Drive. It isn't that users were always confused. Who would have thought these are two of the most-used and most-confused of all Google Services? Case in point& Google Photos vs Google Drive. With how Google has grown over the years& spawning services that branch out into new services with considerable overlapping feature sets& it isn't easy to differentiate at times. The highlight of that search engine was a clean& barebone& spartan web page with nothing but a logo and a text box for user query input. If you take a lot of videos, though, you'll still have to pony up some extra cash, since you only get 5 GB to start-though Fire tablet owners do get an extra 5 GB on top of that.Google started its journey with a search engine. More importantly, it's included with Prime, which means it could be the closest thing to free if you're already a Prime member.

Platform: Android, iOS, web (plus uploaders for Windows and Mac)įeatures: While it isn't quite as fluid and easy to use as Google Photos, Amazon's web-based album is better than you'd expect-it comes with a few basic editing features, the ability to share your photos with friends and family, plenty of options to order prints, and some AI scanning of faces and objects (like "trees" and "roads"). Additional video storage costs $1.99/month for 100 GB, $6.99/month for 1 TB, and $11.99/month for 2 TB Upgrade price: $12.99/month as part of Amazon Prime for unlimited photo storage and 5 GB of video storage. Amazon may not be the most popular photo service around, but you get unlimited storage for full-resolution photos as part of your Prime account, which is killer-though video storage is more limited. If you don't want to pay another cent, but you're already an Amazon Prime user, look no further than Amazon Photos.
