Pros / Cons
  • Google Photos was utilized by White Pine Photography to sort, edit, and share good quality photos to customers, maximizing workflow and making it easier to manage portfolios.
  • One thing I don’t love about Google Photos is that it can sometimes be tricky to organize large albums exactly how you want.

  • If you own iPhone, Mac, or an iPad and you like convenience, having your photos, files, messages, and backups automatically synced and backed up, iCloud is arguably one of the easiest and most “set-and-forget” ways to manage your data.
  • The biggest cons I see is that fact that the standard storage is so low and then you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee just to store your information.
