Yes Pichai, please keep McKinseying the shit out of Google so that we can have an Apple-Huawei duopoly soon.
What do you mean by McKinseying? Sorry English is not my first language. Nothing showed up on Google either.
Has anyone found a good family friendly alternative? In particular I would really like to: - Pay for the service (sustainable/trustworthy business model) - Be able to very tightly control access to albums as I really don't want kid photos ending up on facebook or similar due to crazy aunt kathy (in google photos anyone with access can add anyone else and until recently there was no way to remove people) - Ability to…
It's an early product, but I'm pushing out new features monthly. Face detection and sharing are coming soon. https://photostructure.com/faq/why-photostructure/
FWIW, I recommend to my beta users that they personally store at least one of their backup copies. https://photostructure.com/faq/how-do-i-safely-store-files/

Microsoft 365/OneDrive also offers a similar facility https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/onedrive/onlin...
I'm sticking with Google though as I don't use the 'unlimited' feature as it compresses your photographs, I just pay for extra Drive storage.
> Today, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded. I found this snippet pretty amazing to think about, it's a scale I've never operated at or planned for. And probably most of us never will. I wonder what kind of infrastructure, software, bandwidth, and cost considerations (aside from this blog post) they have to contend with.
>28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded. If I've done my math right that's something like 3-4,000 hard drives per week assuming 10mb per file and 10tb per hard drive.

Sounds like you should just use Google Photos as it delivers most of that, with perhaps some improvements in 'backing up' outside of GP.
Some of us are distinctly uncomfortable with that, especially given what has been done to Gmail — your mail is being fed to machines and used to build an advertising profile for you.
