You need a solution to store photos?

Google Photos is often compared to similar services like Apple's iCloud Photo Library , which offers 5GB of free storage but is not suitable for use on the web or Android. Meanwhile, Flickr , Dropbox and OneDrive usually only store generic files.

The advice is that you should not just copy the image to an external hard drive or save it on your computer, but also need to backup them online when your device hardware is broken.

How to upload your photos to Google Photos

To upload photos, you can access the Google Photos homepage and log in to your Google account and then drag and drop photos into it. You may want to set the quality for the uploaded photos.

1. 
   High Quality : You can upload photos with unlimited number but the maximum size of each photo is only 16MP
2. Original : You can upload to higher resolution images without adjusting the size, but up to 15GB of storage

Google recommends that users choose the Orginal option if you own high quality photos from a DSLR.

The photos that you store in the Google Drive store will also appear in Google Photos by default

You can also search for places and locations where you have taken photos.

For example, when you click on the search bar, you will see a list of different people, Google does not know who they are, it only knows the face in the same image and the location of the image was taken, creating favorable conditions to appear similar images.

If you want to arrange photos in the traditional way, you can use the Collection option.
