Will you continue using Google photos after June 2021?

[bwana]

What are your plans when Google ends the free unlimited storage for photos next year? Will you [continue to] buy additional storage or hold out making a decision until your available storage runs out?

I'll wait and see. A better and free alternative might present itself. Isn't one drive free?

Free as long as you subscribe to office365 I think?

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

No
All my photos are backed up on MyBB forum
Thank You @rpm I owe you a beer bro

Free for 5GB or something low like that without office365 subscription..

I wouldn't rely on OneDrive. I lost a ton of files when they canceled the unlimited option and bumped me down to 1TB.

Nope, Google has pretty much sold Apple One to me with their flip flopping.

I’m pretty sure when they announced this service the promise was that it would be free forever, so much for that then.

They’ve already annoyed me when they took their best product Inbox away, this will likely be the final straw to have me make the full switch to Apple.

Back to traditional external hard drives...

You have my condolences...

My stuff is backed up to my external HDD's - not hostage to the wims of some corporate entity, and entirely private.

 

[SauRoNZA]

You have my condolences...

And I feel eternally sorry for you.

Apple has nothing to do. I’m paying them for it.

That’s the point if I’m going to pay I’ll rather pay Apple than Google and get more for my money.

Yeah, good for you, even better for Apple.

And your external hard drives? They weren’t good for Seagate or Western Digital as well?

Business is business. Value is value.

Exactly! I still have my old @mac.com email address that had bundled services attached to it. Now it's as useful as a chocolate kettle since they removed the ability to actually use it for emails.

Other - Yes

Over 1TB in photos?

Hmmm... Im pressing X to doubt.
