Interesting that the article offers no alternatives to Google Photos. I know there are options, but they all seem to be far behind in terms of features. Plus, migrating all of my photos out of Google Photos would be pain.

- bgrohman 9y agoI've tried Google Takeout, but I have several hundred gigs of photos, so uploading them elsewhere will be a pain. Plus, wherever I do upload them will be lacking many of the features from Google Photos.
- TheTruestKyle 9y agoThis is my problem. I have hundreds of thousands of photos and takeout is quite a pain to deal with. Anyone know of an alternative to takeout that allows syncing perhaps?
- on_and_off 9y agoWell, all the neat features of Google Photo rely on ML and swath of data to work. Photo seems to be part of takeout : https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout I have not tried it for photo but it seems like you can download all your albums. One thing that Google is exemplary at in my experience is in providing an easy way to export all your data if you want to.
