Where do you backup the photos you took? Hard disk? Cell phone? Or cloud service? If you use Google Photos to back up your photos, be careful! This provides 5 years of unlimited backups of high quality Google Photos will end free unlimited backup service from June 1 next year.
Google Photos has been popular with Google users since its launch in 2015, because it can back up unlimited photos and Full HD videos up to 16MP quality. Google Photos has the function of automatically backing up all photos and videos in the phone to the software. Even if the user accidentally loses the phone or the phone is broken, all the photos are still in Google Photos.
Since its launch, Google Photos has backed up more than 4 trillion photos, and 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded every week. These numbers are close to incredible. In order to make Google Photos an excellent product and to meet the needs of users for a long time, Google decided to change its backup strategy. From June 1, 2021, Google will only provide 15 GB of Google Photos backup space. If the space is insufficient, you can purchase Google One to increase the space capacity, otherwise you have to delete the photos and videos yourself to continue the backup, but the high-quality photos and videos backed up before June 1, 2021 will not be affected.
At the same time, they will also launch a new free backup management tool to help you manage your Google Photos, it will help you delete poor quality, too dark, fuzzy photos. Not only does it save you time in deleting photos, it also saves space. In addition to Google Photos, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and other services will also be included in the 15 GB capacity. Google said that the reason for this is to make its policies more in line with industry standards, and like to push more people to use their Google One.
If you have not logged in to your Google account for two years, Google will send a few warning emails. If there is no response, your account will be deleted, including your Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photo. The charge for Google One will start from the 100 GB capacity and will add RM8.49 per month; the monthly fee for 200 GB will be RM11.99; and the maximum backup capacity will be 30 TB, which will add RM644.99 per month.
If there is a charge, will you still back up your photos in Google Photos or will it be more convenient to just buy a Hard disk for backup?
