Need to upload iPhone photos to Goole Photos?

Google Photos is a photo management application with 15GB free storage. It has features like automatic classification, automatic backup, and conveniently sharing photos. It can automatically classify pictures according to time, load picture content, and also isolate private pictures.

Google Photos is pretty kind to users for it provides unlimited space of photo storage without charging a penny. It’s completely free.

The new Google Photos solves three main problems: search, classification, and cloud storage. Google Photos provides a great search function (which is originally Google’s strength). With the feature image recognition, users can search for related photos by inputting description.

Why choose Google Photos to save photos?

We all know that everything has two sides. Now, let’s make a comparison between Google Photos and iCloud.

◆ Settings: iCloud backs up photos faster than Google Photos for its an iPhone built-in tool and its main advantage is that it doesn’t require you to allow it to access photos. You could just toggle on the option. Google Photos couldn’t perform so well as a third-party software.

◆ Storage: Google Photos provides unlimited free storage space for every Google Photos’ user. Compared with iCloud, it is a huge advantage. With this point, it can become a better choice for many people who have a lot of photos to save.

◆ Application: iCloud has succeeded the strict rule of iOS. You could backup your photos, while you are not allowed to view them on iPhone unless you download them. However, Google Photos allows you to view photos and even search them. If you have such need, Google Photos could be a better choice for those who want to quickly locate photos.

◆ Summary: If you don't have a strong inclination to Apple product, then Google Photos is the one you should choose. First of all, it is compatible with both iOS and Android platforms, so even if you change your phone, you don't need to do cumbersome photo transfer. At the same time, Google Photos' powerful features like search, highly intelligent face recognition and photo integration would also bring you convenience. Of course, completely free and unlimited storage are the most attractive place.
