Note that Microsoft, like Google, seems to use clever accounting to minimise its tax bill, so if you're avoiding Google for that reason, you might want to ponder that one. When searching for photos in the new Google Photos app, the facial recognition feature culls together a directory of different people to allow you to search your photos by individuals. Currently, you can only remove batches of photos from the person's search results, but not their record altogether unless you delete all the photos. So you can search your photos including the location where you took them. Vacation photos in New York. Google Drive works with Google Photos, so you can view and manage your photos and videos in both Google Drive and Google Photos. The Google Photos services offers the option to sync the photos you backup into folder inside Google Drive. This PD event was the first time for me to present on this subject, Google Photos. I was jazzed because Google's entry into photo management has changed my life! This post then will both give you my 'Top 7 Reasons To Start Using Google Photos' plus my presentation from this PD event.

#6: It's so easy to share a picture, or lots of pictures.

All you do is select the picture(s) tap the share button, and select the person(s) from your contacts. If you choose their email address, they will receive the photo in an email. If you choose their phone number, they will receive the text, if they use Google Photos, you can skip email or phone and send it directly to their Google Photos account. It will show up in their Google Photo's Assistant.

#5: You can edit your photos on the phone/tablet, or on the computer.

Just one tap on 'Auto' can make a world of difference. Want your picture to have more pizazz? Try the Pop button! You can straighten a crooked horizon by tapping the Crop/Rotate tool and drag a slider to change the angle of the photo. Any edits you make will synchronize to all your devices.

#4: You can make albums to show off your best photos.

Just select the photos you want to include, tap the 3-dot menu and Add to Album. Once an album is made, you can edit it to re-organize the photos, add maps, and even add text blocks to fully tell your story.

#3: Auto Backup and Free Up Space

Cellphone photos will automatically backup to 'the cloud' - your Google Account online. Once you verify they made the trip, you can remove them from the phone with one command - Free Up Space.

#2: Find the Photos you Want with Sort, Search and Automatic Albums

Google PHotos keeps your entire library of photos (over 50,000 for me) in order by date. A simple pinch on the screen and you see years and months grouped together. Looking for a particular picture? Try search. I can come up with that one photo of kayaking in La Jolla by searching for 'Kayaking in La Jolla' !! There are also automatic groupings by Faces, Places, and Things.

#1: Google Photos is a Forever Home for your Lifetime of Photos

The number one, best reason to use Google Photos is that it can collect your photos from many sources and store them in one place - your Google Account online - with unlimited storage, for free, forever! By uploading from my mobile devices, uploading from my computer and all external hard drives, I have a master collection of over 50,000 pictures. I can see all of them from any device I happen to have available.
