The search tool is really impressive because it's able to seek out colors and other nuanced queries. The new search tool does a great job of finding pictures by subject. Another option is Amazon Prime Photos, which gives you free, unlimited storage with a Prime subscription. In that case, you'll likely need to pay a monthly fee for extra space in Google Photos or consider opting for competing service Flickr, which gives you 1TB for free. Those photos will get compressed with the High Quality option, or quickly max out your space with the free 15GB Original plan, because the files tend to be large. It's a different story if you're looking to store large raw-format or JPEG photos, such as those taken with a dSLR. Just keep in mind that if you use Google Drive or Gmail, you probably have less than 15GB of free space available. You may even be able to get enough of storage out of the Original option too, since 15GB is enough for a few thousand 10-megapixel JPEG photos. You can purchase additional storage, starting at $2 per month for 100GB.įor most of us taking photos with a smartphone, the High-Quality plan will suffice, since the vast majority of smartphone cameras capture photos smaller than 16 megapixels. You get 15GB of free storage with a Google account, and that is divided between Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos. With the Original resolution plan, you can backup photos and videos at their full resolution, just as they were when they were recorded, but those files count towards your Google account storage limits.
