  Yes you are, if they do that. This is why I manually export everything off my phone to an external hard drive once a month, to make sure I also keep the originals. Google Photos is very searchable & easy to use, but not a final long term storage option.

  Well Google might be very kill-happy with their own products but at least they always give an early notice so everybody can at least take out their data and move to another service. So even if they shut down Photo one day you will probably have time to download all your photos. Even today you can just download all your photos at once if you have already deleted them from your phone/computer. Btw you should be aware that if you bulk-download your photos from Google they might be in lower resolution and they will be missing some information (e.g. the geo-coordinates). So it might be a good idea to also store your (original) photos on your own devices.

  Google is very very very very nice about product sunsetting - generous timelines and no bandwidth throttling. Also photos and videos are part of their core business now, i don't think they'd ever abandon the space unless something seriously disrupted the market.
