Photo service "Google Photos" Review (Part 1)-"Free" restrictions and app operations --Cnet Japan
(Editor's Note: The Review of "Google Photos" by CNET will be translated into the first part and the second part. The second part will be released at a later date)
Google has finally developed a simple standalone service that organizes the entire photo collection into intelligent.The name of the service is "Google Photos", a web version is also available in addition to the "Android" and "iOS" apps, all of which are designed to be the only digital photo library for users.。
「Google Photos」の機能--写真をスマートに整理する新サービスLike the photographic function of the predecessor, "Google+", photos are stored in the cloud and are automatically organized as an album.What has changed is that free photo storage is available (there are certain conditions), and the number of tools that expand the range of photos, such as adding custom effects and creating GIFs.
Considering the factors such as seamless backups, automatic arrangement functions, and abundant tools for creating special projects, new Google Photos is likely to succeed.Unlike Flickr, there is no space to save non -compressed photos for free, and you can't print out photos like "Shutterfly", but Google Photos is the best option for digital photography management.
It is a free service, but there are also points that need to be careful
The biggest sale of Google Photos is that it is free if you have a Google account, but you need a little attention.There are two options, "High-Quality" and "Original" in the resolution when backing up photos.
In the High-Quality option, you can use unlimited storage for free, but the photo must be 16 megapixels or less, and the video must be 1080p or less (that is, 4K videos are not allowed).Photos that exceed 16 mega pixels and videos higher than 1080p are compressed below the limit size to save capacity.
On the other hand, if you select an Original resolution plan, you can back up at exactly the same resolution as photos and videos, but these files are subject to storage restrictions on your Google account.The free storage of the Google account is 15GB, which is divided into "Gmail" and "Google Drive", and Google Photos.You can also buy additional storage, and the price starts at $ 2 per month.
The majority of users who take photos with a smartphone will be enough with the High-Quality plan.Most smartphone cameras have a lower resolution than 16 megapixels.In some cases, the capacity may be sufficient for the Original option.Speaking of 15GB, thousands of JPEG photos of 10 mega pixels can be covered.However, if you are using Google Drive or Gmail, be aware that the free space should have been reduced by 15GB.
The story is completely different when you save a photo with a large JPEG with a RAW format or a large size, as if taken with a digital SLR.With the High-Quality option, it is compressed, and the file tends to grow, so free 15GBs that can be used with Original options will quickly insufflose capacity.In that case, you will need to pay a monthly fee in Google Photos to add a capacity or use competitive services.For example, FLICKR can use one territory for free, and Amazon's "Prime Photos" has no restrictions on storage capacity that can be used for free for Prime members.
