Last week, Google announced that it would discontinue unlimited free photo storage on its Google Photos service, enraging fans. I get it, more or less: No one can argue that Google has a reputation for discontinuing services and that history plays a role in the outrage. But for this customer and fan of Google Photos, nothing has changed: I was already paying for Google Photos and will continue to do so. And if the photos matter to you, I recommend that you do the same.
Like David Dear from Google explained on Twitter, Google Photos has more than 1 billion users and uploads a staggering 28 billion photos to the service each week. The service currently stores more than 4 billion photos. His assessment of Google Photos is correct and moving: the service is not just cloud storage, it is “the home of memories of our life, the place we go when we feel homesick. It’s the closest that many of us have to a record of our lives. “
