  I wouldn't know, I never entertained the idea trusting Google to host my photos, but this whole thread where people are seemingly hurt by the software they use felt very cringy to me. It's very much not normal. And of course it's not about just this feature. My comment is more general than that. I took excuse from this one example to encourage people to take back control on their computing because it seems important to me. I'm am being so dramatic about this because this whole situation where people do not control anything feels alarming to me. I understand that you like convenience. If it suits you, whatever floats your (and many people's) boat, I'm no one to tell you what to do. Of course Google is convenient. That's one of their strategy to build their monopoly. I would not rely on Google for the backups, though. There are enough stories about people loosing access to their account over Google's whims. So that part is not solved, you still have to handle that, or pray but I'm not sure it really helps.
