Quoting

I was relying on Google Photos because I stopped doing this. 1) it's a pain and 2) I really want my pictures anywhere I want them. Google Photos even has a search option to look through photos where you can look for "bonfire" and it will show you all your pics with bonfires. I can't comprehend the level of software needed to make that happen.
Plus the Google Face match option is super slick. If you're looking for a specific photo of someone, you can just bring all the face matches of that person in 1 click.
If there's any subscription fee worth it, it's going to be Google Photos.
I can't imagine how many photos my wife and I have from just 5 years together. What's it going look like when it's 20 or 30?
"Hun remember that one time we took a walk down by the lake?"
*search lake*
*5 seconds later*
"oh here it is"
The absolute last thing people want to do is look through a photo album, let alone, dig through the basement of an USB drive, hook it up to a computer, and huddle around looking for that photo you are looking for. GTFO with that old school line of thinking.
