Using Google Photos only is the best way of keeping all your photos in one place, accessible across multiple platforms. Google Drive, on the other hand, is a general storage service, a place where you store your texts, school material, sheets, presentations, work material, etc.
Is Google Drive good for storing photos?
Google Drive is a cloud storage service, meaning you can upload any kind of file to it. That includes photos and videos. You can upload any photo, or even a folder full of photos, to Google Drive using the Upload button, or by simply dragging the files to your Google Drive window.
Does Google Drive keep photos forever?
Google Photos ended its unlimited free storage policy for photos and videos as of June 1. Now any new photos and videos you upload will count toward the free 15GB of storage that comes with every Google account. But don’t worry: The photos or videos you uploaded before then won’t be part of the cap.
