With Google Photos about to be paid, Amazon Photos has turned out to be a decent new home for my memories.

If you are a Google Photos user, you are probably already aware and if you are not, I will give you a summary: as of June 2021, unlimited free storage ends. Since then, everything uploaded will take up space on Google OneErgo, it will be time to checkout as we upload more and more photos.
