Migrate Your Photos & Videos From Google Photos To Other Cloud Storage

When Google Photos launched in 2015, it received worldwide acclaim for its free image hosting. It was incredibly useful for those who had limited storage space on their devices, or just wanted a backup of their memories on the cloud.

Now, due to growing demand from its users, from June 1, 2021, the company has announced that it will be capping its Google Photos storage limit to 15GB per account.

How Does It Affect You?

To clarify, only files uploaded on or after June 1, 2021 count towards the 15GB limit.

This means that once you cross the 15GB threshold, you'll need to pay for additional Google Photos storage. In case you don't, you won't be able to upload any more photos or videos to Google Photos.

How To Increase Your Google Storage?

Google has announced its new One subscription service. With this subscription, users can pay to increase their limit. Currently, their monthly plans include -

  • $1.99 for 100GB (or $19.99 annually)
  • $2.99 for 200GB (or $29.99 annually)
  • $9.99 for 2TB (or $99.99 annually)

What Are The Best Online Photo Storage Alternatives?

Google Photos is no longer free unlimited storage, so it's time to take a look at popular alternatives.

Popular solutions that allow for free photo storage are Flickr, SmugMug, Dropbox, Box, pCloud, and OneDrive.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer
Pausing Motion testimonialPausingMotionsmugmug
I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
