Google has just announced that the Google photos application will no longer be free, so personally I use this application too much so this news affects me a lot, we all know that in Google you can store all the photos you want and it can be synchronized with your phone which I currently do, so each photo I take and each photo they send me is registered in my Google Photos account. Now what am I going to do?
5 years ago Google launched Google photos as a free and unlimited storage service for photos and videos to the cloud, all this will change in June 2021 when it will stop being free and unlimited, we can not do anything we will have to start canceling for this service , I personally understand that things cannot be free, Google said that 28 billion photos are uploaded a day in the application so maintaining those servers has a cost and I understand that.
So you can still access a free account but it will have a maximum storage capacity and when it is filled you will not be able to enjoy the service any more unless you pay for more capacity, this seems fair to me and it even seems like a great business strategy I do not think Some other company apart from Google has the capacity to provide a free service for years, logically Google photos is already so necessary for many people that they are simply going to start paying for this service, very well for Google, some geniuses not only of technology but also of business.
This fact makes me wonder that other services that are free today will begin to be charged in the future, there are many internet services that I use today and I think that like Google photos, I would not use them if they were free, before Google photos I kept my photos on my PC quietly every week, it was part of my routine, when Google photos came out on the market, I thought it was absurd, but at the time I was a regular user and those minutes a week I spent downloading my photos I started using something else, maybe I don't know how to sleep, the truth is that Google photos is part of my life, my whole life is there, and I can't stop thinking that in the future services that are free today will start to cost money , Google photos is the proof of this.
