What is Google Photos
Google Photos is a popular storage and photo sharing service, that allows you to store photos and videos in cloud. All that is required to use Google Photos is to go to www.photos.google.com and sign-in with your Gmail Account User Name and Password. Once you do that, you can upload as many Photos as you like to Google Photos for Free. While the free plan offers unlimited storage, it compresses Photos over 16 Mega Pixels and caps video to 1080p. If you want to store photos in their original resolution, you can go for its reasonably priced paid plan. Both Free and paid plans offers the same features to Upload, Download, Access, Organize and Share Photos/Video with others.
