Before that, we need to understand shared albums as they play an important role in Google Photos. So let’s see what happens when you share photos on Google Photos. In this post, we will dive deep into the link-sharing feature available in Google Photos, including its permissions, settings, and how shared albums work. Who can see those pictures depends on the type of sharing. However, if you share the photos, then others can see it as they become part of shared albums. Even the visibility of the photos in the albums are limited to you. It is true for both - backed up photos and photos on your device. That’s because the photos are visible to you only, by default. But if you exceed it, you'll have to start thinking about upgrading to Google's One plan, which start at $2/month for 100 GB of storage.Recently, a controversial post appeared on the internet that said ‘photos in Google Photos are semi-public,’ which is both true and false. This 15GB of free storage that Google Photos offers is still more than the 5GB of free storage that iCloud Photos offers, and significantly more than the 2GB of free storage that Dropbox offers. If you uploaded your photos and videos to Google Photos before June 1, they do not count against your 15GB limit of free storage. But now, Google has walked back that feature.Īs of June 1, Google has officially ended its free unlimited storage plan and now capped it at 15GB - but it only effects new photos and videos.
Google Photos is one of the most popular cloud-based photo storage services for both Android and iPhone users - in large part, because for the last five years, it offered free unlimited photo storage, which was more than its competitors like iCloud or Dropbox.
