## Reviews

### "Not the best" — 2.0/5

> **Carmen** | *February 24, 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Organizing pictures is easy. Finding them is easy. Archiving pictures is not always easy. I can't think of anything else positive.
> 
> **Cons**: Archiving some photos is confusing.  And very frustrating\! Every update seems to make it trickier. I'd like to be able to control the order of albums.
> 
> Not great.  I've been using the app for a few years, and with every update I had issues with archiving.

### "Great platform for photo storage\!" — 5.0/5

> **Omar** | *January 5, 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google photos has been a great app for my device. I use this to organize my pictures and videos. It’s super easy to use and well presented.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I notice the photos are automatically synced to the cloud storage and i wish there was a notification which prompted me before it took this action.
> 
> Google photos has been a great app, I use this app on all my devices. It helps keep my photos well organized and keeps my memories safe on the cloud platform.

### "Storage?: All in one Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *June 19, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Such a great platform, can store all files and pictures, recently we revisited an item from 2013 which was invaluable.
> 
> **Cons**: Price. Price price price. This is the biggest issue, they only give us 15gigs and you have to buy the rest for a monthly subscription which is no way near cheap

-----

### "Great for teams" — 5.0/5

> **Veronica** | *June 5, 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a team we all have access to all the photos regardless of where we go and can all have private folders too
> 
> **Cons**: It fills up fast and I find all the extra storage can be a bit pricy - it can also get messy if you dont take the time to set it up
> 
> Google photos works great for us we are able to upload photos as a team to a team drive and everyone has them instantly on their phones when they need

### "Good for basic Personal photo storage" — 5.0/5

> **SHAMEEM** | *December 22, 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Its cloud based so photos can be accessed from multiple devices&#10;- Has options to categorize photos in many different ways, can create specific albums, or has preset categories like screenshots&#10;- You can backup your photos to a different persons account. which makes sharing photos very easy.
> 
> **Cons**: - The editing options are not great especially filters or if you want to create anything more complex this is not a great tool. &#10;- Search by date is not easy to use as the side scroll feature is not that precise
> 
> Good tool for personal photo storage. Not great for editing or creating something beyond a basic layout. The search feature by face or by maps works well but searching by date is so so.
