Why iCloud Photos is the BEST Cloud Backup Solution | Google Photos vs. iCloud Photo Library

icloud only offering 1GB of free storage is extremely off-putting for me. They're basically saying you have to pay for the service without even trying it. Google photos gives you 15GB for free, so at least that's enough storage to store a bigger bunch of content and see if you like it.
But yeah, anything less than 6GB of free cloud storage is very anti-consumer and a bad buisness move. Google still does what Apple doesn't!

Apple is doing the same practice though

This aged well, now that Google Photos no longer has an "unlimited" option.
Next step for me is to make sure I don't have duplicates as I merge all those google photos with my apple library lol

if anone just wants to back up their photos just use google photos i have a iphone i still use googles app....

Google photos does allow manual backup. Get your facts right!

Well if you don’t delete unnecessary photos, that’s an issue with you as a person imo. If you get 200GB/2TB from iCloud or Google or even get a 2TB HDD, you won’t look at them and delete unnecessary photos unless you are running out of storage or maybe you’ll give up and pay for more storage if you don’t feel like deleting photos

So youre saying that Apple is not spying on people also?, Only Google?. Like to see that statement from Apple saying: We'll not use your data in any matter. Lol

You are an idiot. Dont thank me

iPhone won't allow google photo to run on the background but if you're using android phone, google photo backed up automatically.

I see you're like me Craylor... Still have not gone to the new MacBook Pro yet... I just am not ready to loose the SD Card Reader.

Apple and privacy, really? if I were you I'd probably check on that claim, and research deeper than the marketing blabber. Read about PRISM and dive deeper from there. You want security and privacy create your own cloud storage, there are open source solutions like Owncloud. Anyway I came here thinking there is a legitimate feature or ground breaking tip, guess not. BTW You could always disable location permissions from the camera app. I'm not defending anyone here, but if privacy is your concern, you should probably use Hardened Linux, Hardened Android, no Google services, setup your own cloud, VPN, firewall, etc .. My point is Apple does collect your data. Read their privacy policy.

Oh yeah Google in 2019 paid Apple 12 Billion USD to allow Google search to be the default search engine on Safari, 9 Billion USD in the previous year. That's hypocrisy at best, if they wanted privacy they won't allow Google to be their default search engine. Apple didn't even allow custom search engines in their browser previously, like for example the privacy focused DuckDuckGo, that happened only recently.

I hope this has been insightful. Cheers.

You will switch very soon to gphotos ))

Congratulations man! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil!

Great video and good pointers I never knew. Thank u, I feel well informed now

you are dumb

Can you plz tell me how to transfer all of my google photos to iCloud I have about 60k in my library

Google photos doesn't store them in their original format like iCloud. I guess "minimal compression" isn't too bad though. When it comes down to it you get what you pay for. Also you can turn off adding GPS location in iOS.

If I were still on iOS I'd definitely switch over. Google Photos owns me. Awesome video CT!

The first shall be better
