"A review on Google photos...."
What do you like best about Photos?

Google Photos makes it easy to back up your photos online, allowing you to access them from any of your devices. The service also provides an option to compress your photos, which helps save storage space while maintaining their quality. You can also tag the location where each photo was taken, adding more context to your memories. Another handy feature is the ability to create movies by choosing a selection of your photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

The free version does not provide unlimited storage, since it is capped at 15 GB. Once you reach this limit, you have to buy extra storage, which I personally consider to be rather costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Photo Organization with Smart Features, But Needs Advanced Editing and Faster Sync"
What do you like best about Photos?

I appreciate how Photos simplifies the process of organizing, searching, and managing all my pictures in a single location. The automatic backup and intelligent categorization features are real time-savers, while the facial recognition and search tools make it easy to locate specific memories. The interface is sleek, responsive, and user-friendly, making it a pleasure to browse through my albums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

While Photos is overall a strong app, it does tend to consume significant storage space, particularly when syncing large libraries between devices. The editing tools are solid, though they could benefit from more advanced features for those seeking greater precision. I have also noticed that upload and sync speeds can sometimes lag, especially when dealing with high-resolution photos or videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Way to Store, Organize, and Share Photos"
What do you like best about Photos?

I love how everything just backs up automatically without me having to think about it. All my photos are organized by people, places, and even events, which makes it super easy to find what I’m looking for. The search feature is surprisingly smart — I can type something like “beach” or a friend’s name, and it brings up exactly what I need. It just makes managing all my memories feel effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

One thing I don’t like is that sometimes it compresses my photos, which makes the details a bit soft — especially if I zoom in or print them. Also, once you hit the free storage limit, you’re forced to pay or delete, which feels a bit restrictive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Photos: Cloud of Memories & Shorted and Safe in a Single Click"
What do you like best about Photos?

Feature of Automatic Backup an Sync from Phone or Laptop to Cloud is very useful and safe. We also make a Album and share within the office or for family also, A single Album is also made in which all office mates upload there photos also if require. It is very easy to use and easy to make account and start uploading. AI within this software also works well as we need to find something than we need to write on a search bar it gives all the results related to that. This is the only software used daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

It gives a limited storage for free of use if we exceed the storage limit then we need to buy it and Subscription fees in a regular basis gives me pain. Also in the editing features there are very limited features which are open and free to use, If there is requirement of more features then we need to pay for it. Sometimes I feel slight problem of Sync issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Gallery Organization with Excellent Editing"
What do you like best about Photos?

I use Photos as my primary app for managing and organizing my photo gallery. I first started using it because a friend was using it and I liked what I saw. Setting it up was incredibly easy, which encouraged me to continue using it. I am impressed with its effectiveness in helping me organize my gallery and really understand my albums better. The general interface is very user-friendly, and I particularly appreciate the editing functions within the app. These features not only make it easy to manage my photos but also enhance my ability to edit them conveniently. The intuitive nature of the app's interface, coupled with powerful editing tools, provides a seamless experience which is why I didn't feel the need to consider other options. I simply rely on Photos for all my photo management and editing needs, making it an indispensable tool for me. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would definitely recommend Photos with a score of 10.

"Simple, Clean, and Effective for Photo Management"
What do you like best about Photos?

What I like best about Photos is its clean interface and seamless syncing across all my devices. It automatically organizes my pictures by date, location, and people, making it easy to find what I need. The built-in editing tools are simple but effective—great for quick touch-ups or enhancements without needing advanced software. I also appreciate the AI features like facial recognition and automatic albums, which save a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

What I dislike about Photos is the limited advanced editing features. For users who want more professional-level tools, it can feel too basic. Also, managing large libraries can slow down performance over time, especially on older devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless way to keep my memories safe"
What do you like best about Photos?

The best thing about Google Photos is how it automatically backs up all my pictures and videos without me having to think about it. I also love the powerful search function. The AI-powered organization that groups photos by people and places is incredibly helpful for finding what I need. Plus, the seamless integration with other Google services is a huge convenience. It's also fun to see the automatic creations like movies and animations that it makes from my photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

The main downside for me is the limited free storage, since the 15GB is shared across all my Google services it fills up pretty quickly, especially with videos. I also find that some of the more advanced editing tools are only available with a paid subscription. While the automatic organization is great, I wish there were better options for manually creating and managing folders to structure my albums the way I want.

"Convenient Photo Access Across Devices, But Can Feel Clunky"
What do you like best about Photos?

Photos is integrated into both my laptop and my desktop Macs, plus my iPhone. This just makes it handy because my photos are always available no matter what device and no matter where I am at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

It is designed to work for everyone, therefore, at times the app seems a bit clunky. Like, there are better apps at handling photos, but I stick with this one because it's part of the MacOS and iOS environments. It's more convenient, mostly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Photos is one of my most-used apps!"
What do you like best about Photos?

I use Photos constantly. I have iCloud storage increased primarily FOR storing my photos there. They make it really easy to find photos I'm looking for with their search tool. It integrates with the rest of my Apple products easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photos?

I wish they didn't store photos as odd file types. Sometimes it's tough to get photos into other apps because of the HEIC file type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
