Wait, that's... that's actually bad, unlike Gmail. Drive _is_ a storage endpoint, so is Photos. Not having a way to sync them is a serious issue.

  Yeah. It's ending on July 10 - https://www.blog.google/products/photos/simplifying-google-photos-and-google-drive/ https://www.blog.google/products/photos/simplifying-google-p...

    To be fair I can't blame them for this--the feature is confusing (I'm pretty sure it's responsible for every photo in my account up to a point in time last year being duplicated [in a rather annoying way--they appear visually identical and have the same EXIF tags and timestamps, but are different sizes, as a result my obsessive compulsive tendency won't let me delete either]). I presume you can still download all your photos via Google Takeout right?

      I do blame them. Google Photos should have been a frontend for Drive from the beginning. Splitting it into another storage is wrong.

        Google wants the ability to promise unlimited storage without any of the responsibility of meeting that promise.
