The initial purpose was online backup but now Google Photos has become “the” place where I go to explore my photos. I started dumping all my pictures to Google Photos, the day it launched, and couldn’t be happier. The original images are compressed after uploading but the difference is barely noticeable, at least on our mobile and computer screens. Google Photos offers unlimited online storage space for your digital photos and videos. They’ve adopted a similar approach with Google Photos but gone a step further. It seemed to solve all storage woes and they did not include a “delete” button in Gmail because, with a gigabyte available, why would anyone ever delete their emails. When Google launched Gmail in 2004, it bundled 40x more free storage space than competing webmail services.
