Specs
Pros
Pro Storage space
It gives users free, unlimited storage for photos up to 16MP and videos upto 1080p resolution.
Pro Seamless and reliable full integration between devices/desktop PC
Integration across devices works really well, it even handles new photos and edits being made on different devices; version control and image processing is excellent.
Pro Free unlimited storage
Google Photos comes with free storage for images up to 16GB and videos up to 1080p which means that most users need no longer worry about storage space.
Pro Can automatically back up phone's photos
Any images taken with your phone can automatically be backed up to Google Photos. And the first time you run the mobile app it will also help you back up any existing images and videos you might have on your phone.
Pro Non-destructive built-in photo editor
Any photos that you edited can be undone to original copy.
Cons
Con Files may be compressed if you're using the unlimited storage option
All images exceeding 16MP and videos exceeding 1080p will automatically be compressed to that size or lower. Meaning high-res images and videos won't work with the unlimited storage option.
Con No sorting options
Albums can only be sorted chronologically or reverse-chronologically, not alphabetically nor by file size nor any other method.
Con Not a lot of free storage space for high-res content
While there's a free unlimited storage plan, it's limited to 16 megapixel images and 1080p videos. Uploading full-resolution content, if you opt out of free unlimited storage plan, is limited to 15GB that comes with a Google account which is shared across all Google services. Increasing that storage space costs about $10/mo per 1TB of storage.
Con The website has performance issues
The site tends to lag and file uploads can sometimes fail.
Con Might be removed anytime
Google has a tendency to quickly shut down or abandon services that don't perform well. Google Photos might run the risk of being discontinued if the user base of the app doesn't meet certain criteria.
