Pretty upset about this. I added the app to my mothers phone as it auto backs up everything at high enough quality for her at no cost. Trying to explain to a 65 year old woman with no computing skill how to set up a recurring subscription for online photo storage is going to be a tough ask.
- arkitaip 6y agoMy mother is at the same age and I set up the subscription for her and she never has to think about it. Or, you could share your subscription with your mother.
- mvgoogler 6y agoGoogle One family subscriptions would be a good fit here. You can manage the subscription and just add your mother to the plan. It's what our family does. <disclaimer - I work on Google Photos>
- deanclatworthy 6y agoI’ll look into it. Thanks for the tip.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoI did the same but I'm really not worried. How long is it going to take for her to fill 15GB really?
- deanclatworthy 6y agoIt's funny how people make assumptions about technology use among the elderly - myself included. She got a 16GB iPhone a few years ago and filled it with videos within half a year. She wants her photos/videos with her at all times, but then she would need at least 256gb phone which she cannot afford the contract for. Google photos was a perfect balance for this, as the app works very very well as a photo browser where everything is in the cloud - meaning she could offload all the photos and videos (at an acceptable quality for her [impaired] vision) from the phone.
