We can see why people would want to splash out on a plan, as you only get 15GB of base free Google One storage that’s shared across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. So it’s possible that you’ve already exceeded your free allocation and that switching to a different photo backup service would be a hassle.

Google Photos also offers some handy features, such as automatic backups, smart categorization, slick sharing functionality, and a decent variety of editing tools. So we could see why spending money on cloud storage might be a no-brainer given the convenience of it all.

On the other hand, there are quite a few alternatives out there. Additionally, some people might also be content with managing their free 15GB allocation.

Either way, you can give us your answer via the poll and leave a comment if you have more on your mind.
