#GooglePhotos' most endearing feature is going out the window starting June next year

businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news…

By @pabsgill
#GooglePhotos will no longer be offering unlimited free storage to users starting #June next year. But, the change only applies after the date.
Those who run out of storage next year can either upgrade to a #GoogleOne account or delete the blurry and unnecessary photos from their backup.

#GooglePhotos
This undercuts one of the most endearing aspects of #GooglePhotos — knowing that you always had a place to back up your memories. Existing #GoogleOne subscribers, who have more than 15GB of storage, will also be subject to the same regulation.
Until now, only images that were in the uncompressed ‘original’ quality preset counted towards storage space and those which were under the ‘high’ quality present were free.

#GooglePhotos #GoogleOne
However, once summer rolls around again, all uploads — regardless of style or stature — on #GooglePhotos will count towards the overall 15GB of storage that users get with every free #Google account.
Is there a way out? - Where there’s a will, there’s a way. But, you may have to loosen the purse strings a little bit. In case you exhaust that limit after June 2021, it’s not a complete loss. You can always sign up for one of the fancy #GoogleOne accounts.

#GooglePhotos
Is there ANOTHER way out? - In order to make the transition for habitual #GooglePhotos users, the company will be rolling out a new tool for its users to help manage photo uploads. The tool will help users sort through their backed up photos and videos.
