So let's go through them. Apple, you may remember, invented iPhoto, basically an iTunes for your photos. Back when it came out, just after the first iPod, it was amazing. You could dump photos into it, create albums, sync them to your iPod, create websites with it. It was so incredible, people paid as much as $80 for it. That was Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs, introducing iPhoto in 2002. Which, if you're keeping track, was more than a decade ago. And that's the point. As we've become increasingly web-focused though, iPhoto's become less useful. We share photos a lot more now, and many of us -- including myself -- often use Facebook to do it. Apple's tried to upgrade iPhoto, it's even replaced it with a new app called Photos, and it's created a syncing and sharing service called iCloud Photo Library, which is free to start but then costs about a buck a month for 50 gigabytes of storage, or about enough to hold 15,000 photos.
Google is easy: It has an app called Google Photos, You dump your photos into it, it organizes them, The end result is that you can search for stuff like "beach" and its computers will scan your photos and find them, It's incredible, So what's the downside? Well, you have to trust Google with your photos and, if you choose the free option, stripe black & white horizontal iphone case the backups are lower-quality than the originals, Now you can choose to pay about $2 a month for 100 gigabytes, or enough to hold about 33,000 photos, You can go up to $300 a month for 30 terabytes, or about 10 million photos, but that's a little crazy..
Facebook is the world's largest photo sharing website, but that's about where it stops. It's really hard to find and organize your photos, so it's not a place to store them. Then there's Flickr, which was bought by Yahoo and, by the way, is now owned by Verizon. Flickr is that awesome photo site your nerdy friend was using back when we all still had Blackberrys and flip phones. It's tried to keep up with the times, but let's just be honest: Most Flickr users I run across are like Shank and myself.
OK, here's my advice: Use Apple Photos or use Google Photos and do not worry about it, Yup, You could do all the complicated stripe black & white horizontal iphone case stuff, but let's be honest, If you're listening to me for advice, you aren't really up to that, And heck, I've been doing it this way for a long time and I'm not really up to it either, It may not be appealing to pay someone like Google, but they're going to store all your photos, sort through them, and even automatically make video mashups for Mother's and Father's Days, When it comes to Apple, there is one caveat: You have to live the Apple life to make it work, I mean MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, all that stuff, Because when you have all those thing, you can do nifty things like take a photo on your phone on one side of the world, and almost suddenly your family can view it on your TV at home, It's super cool, But only if you've an Apple-d out your family..
