I’m curious, what’s so great about Google photos? I’m on iCloud photos but looking to move away from it in the near future in protest of the recent infringement

used to be unlimited capacity (now you hve to use Yandex Disk for it, if you don't mind limits on videos) also search is quite good personally not using any cloud backup

  I had heard "unlimited capacity" but they were lossy-compressing your images (not preserving RAW for example).

    the compression was really amazing though, you had to magnify it like 600% to see difference

  But Google does this using the same hashes everyone else does and it runs on Google's cloud, not on your phone.

  Not on device they aren’t. (I hope)
