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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Google Photos allows inviting other users to shared libraries. It has a feature that allows auto-adding all photos and videos or only of specific people to the shared library which is really useful for sharing with families or a close group of friends. It also allows the invitee to save those photos straight to their device automatically as if they took it.
Any picture or selection of pictures can be sent to anyone, even if they don't have a Google account. Photos will also give you a list of recommended photos to share.
Text in photos, the content of the photo, and so on can be automatically searched. So one doesn't need to categorize to later find photos. Manual categorization is still possible.
Google's AI automatically generates fun animations, collages, styled photos and stories every now and then which can be shared saved and shared to your device very easily.
In addition to folders and albums the app allows images to be tagged, rated and favorited. It also offers the option to create smart galleries (automatically sort photos into galleries) and browse images based on location.
v5.0.0, after acquisition by Cheetah Mobile, has countless bugs and basically nonoperational. This, probably, clone of original app, assembled from alternative, home-made and very low quality source code.
QuickPic displays photos ultra fast and performs better than most stock gallery apps. Developed with speed in mind, QuickPic will make working with any library of photos lightning quick.
QuickPic offers excellent file management tools, with the ability to move and rename photos, users are in total control over the photo library. Easily find new photos by date or location with the grouping tool.
If your savy on storage, you may want to get another gallery, or get a thumbnail compression tool. Or if you think you can deal with it, make sure you have at least 1gb of free space.
If you are a constant clutz, and keep hitting the trash can unwillingly, this app has a solution, the gallery trash can. Although it often comes in handy, of course it's worth noting it will require you to empty the trash can every once and a while if you do not want it to get so full it is un-navigable.
A map shows where photos where taken. if you zoom in you see more details. Geotagging: select one or more photos + "set geo" + pick a point in the map ==> the selected images get that point. Filter images through the map: after selecting an area in the map (i.e. North Germany), the gallery will only show images from North Germany.
If enabled only selected/filtered Images can be seen. This allows you to savley hand over your android phone to someone else and allow him/her to view only those images in Gallery-View, Geographic-Map and Image-View that you have chosen before.
The app analyzes all images that are stored in the app looking to determine which are the most important to you. It then puts those images in collections called Moments that are then prominently displayed within the app.
According to homepage the app is no longer supported or updated. What has been available is often buggy, laggy and missing features, as it never got out of beta.
