Changing how Google Drive and Google Photos work together
I assume many of you got an email referencing this new "feature". I got y email this morning, which gave me a lot of advance warning
I'm not very on the ball with Google Photos as it is but my first impressions are people found a really useful feature tricky, so Google helpfully turned it off?
If Photos and Drive are now separate, this seems a step back to me - surely the whole benefit of Drive is I can store all my cloudy files in one thing? Now I have to potentially pay for storage in two locations.
Getting a bit deeper how would one now backup their Google stuff to a NAS or something, given photos cannot (?) be accessed from Drive now?
Interested to hear others' thoughts on this - I use Drive a lot but as I say, Photos I don't understand because I always used Drive to access my Google Photos previously.
