I have prime, so I have been using the free unlimited storage on Amazon. But my boss uses google, and I like the features that come with it (automatic albums, easier to use, etc...) but dont want to pay for it. Yall have any input or suggestions? Which is better?

if you upload photos within their restraints, it's unlomited storage. Anything above it uses storage

quote:

Unlimited free storage
Regular cameras: Recommended for phones or point-and-shoot cameras that are 16 megapixels (MP) or less.
Uses: Good for typical printing and sharing.
Size: Save high-quality photos and videos while reducing size.


quote:

Original
Limited free storage: Uses your Google Account's 15 GB of free storage, regardless of photo or video size.
DSLR cameras: Recommended if you take photos with a DSLR camera and want to maintain the exact original quality.
Uses: Recommended for printing large banners or to store original files.
Size: Stores your photos and videos exactly as you captured them.

I THOUGHT you get a free amount of storage for "standard" photos, and limited storage for "high quality"? Is this just with cell photos and automatic back up?

ETA: just saw the above post, thanks.

My real question is on ease of use

Ease of use in what way? They both have apps for automatic photo backup from your phone. Beyond that functionality, the service with the fewest features will likely be the easiest, but both are elementary simple.

I may be wrong on this, but I have my photos on both services.

As mentioned, Google is unlimited if you don't save your photos in .raw or anything like that.

However, it does not seem that Amazon has this limitation.

Something to think about if correct.

Why don't you create a Facebook and make it private.

I have backed up all my photos to google, took like a week. It's a pretty cool program, although sorting by albums isn't that easy. If I select 100+ pictures I have "Trouble adding to album"
