This is THE BEST video made on this comparison. Trust me I have seen so many videos before this to find a good comparison. All of those videos had all the mumbo-jumbo, music and what not, but non of them gave this structured comparison- Kudos to you!

Even though Google photos no longer offers free unlimited storage, the options available are still quite reasonable. You get 15GB of free storage- not really a lot, but Apple only gives you 5GB in comparison which is totally lame. And when you do have to pay on Google photos, it's cheaper. And Google photos doesn't appear to have any restrictions on photo/video quality- I believe it supports 4K and 8K with no problem (will cost you a lot of storage though)

Oh and Google allows you to delete a photo/video from your current device without also deleting it from your account (and redownload it any time). Apple should take notes here!

Another great feature about Google photos is that it automatically creates memories of pictures taken ‘a year ago’ on a daily basis.

What?! 💀 I'm not an iPhone user but what's the use of iCloud if it's gon delete your stuff if u delete it from your phone?

[ClassicRebornRider]

Can we upload 4k videos on google photos if I purchase plan of 100 GB ?

[joshuanesbit]

question, if you have icloud photos on and it's 'optimise storage', does that mean google photos won't be able to access many of the photos locally on the phone due to them living on the cloud?

Well put video, good job! Unfortunately google photos will no longer have unlimited storage for high quality videos and photos starting June 1st 2021. I'm debating on paying for icloud or Google photos.

Thank you so much for this comparison, it helps me decide! That delete all feature on google phots is definitely a must for me.

I think this one of the few reasons why Android is just more Efficient and User friendly.

You don’t even need to worry about managing photos, the phone automatically creates albums for the various apps you download pictures from (Chrome, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Snapchat, etc)

Having that amount of flexibility, Ig most users take it for granted. After switching to iPhone, i realise how paralysing it is. It’s a good thing you can still use Google Photos even on iOS.

will photos be deleted from iCloud photos after a while automatically or only if I delete them from my Mac/iCloud? Thank you!

[patricia]

Hi. I understand that to extend an unlimited storage in Google Photos, we should choose 'high quality' and it will reduce photos bigger than 16MB. But how does it work with videos? Will they reduce them also or it's stored as original?

[nichokp]

really comprehensive video! too bad google photos is removing their unlimited storage tho..

[Lim]

For me I use iCloud photos with my back up been download originals onto a hard drive.

You forgot the most important:

Icloud is a sync backup. Meaning that if you delete something from your phone it deletes from the cloud too. You dont get more storage on your phone with icloud.

With google photos you can choose to delete photos on your phone while keeping them in the cloud, so you get more storage on your phone

Hi! Can you tell me how you did the animation on the bottom of the screen to keep score?

[PinkDaisy]

Thanks for uploading such an informative video. It’s really helpful and cleared a lot of questions I had related to google and iCloud photos. 🙏

Hi! I recently discovered that my iCloud storage is full and need to upgrade. So i decided to install google photos on my iPhone and mac. I have two questions please . 1. if i delete the photos from iPhone as they are backed up to google photos, is it going to change the quality? I selected slightly reduced quality option but i read somewhere that photos taken by iPhone aren't any higher quality anyway. 2. When i backed up my mac, it showed 52000 items got backed up but in google dashboard it shows only 26000 photos. You did mention at the end of this video that google photos store two photos for each . Is this the case? if so then how I can delete them from mac? My apologies but with mac I am finding it hard work with.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
