When Google created Google Photos 10 years ago, I was sure I did not expect this service to become the success that is today. Not all the proposals of the company succeed, as evidenced by the list of buried projects, but some are brutally, as is the case. In Europe, it is normal to see many people use Google Photos Like its gallery application simply because it is the one that is installed by default in its mobiles.
This project began with a revolutionary idea: to offer free storage of photos and videos, although a few years after its implementation, Google changed this and started to think that it was a good way to make money to ask users to pay more space, which they could not do if they gave unlimited storage. As this will not change, it is time to start demanding improvements in the application, in particular payment users. Aspects such as a better edition of professional photos, more powerful AI tools or a simple way to make external backups must improve.
The application has become the reference for many for obvious reasons: It works well, has many options and is available on any device With a browser. However, there is a margin of improvement so that this service becomes a better option, even what it is now.
More free space
Waiting for Google to offer unlimited storage of photos and videos for free in its application is to wait too long. But that the 15 GB which give free of charge in Gmail accounts are also improved. Be realistic We could expect Google to improve its proposal with perhaps 25 or 30 GB for freeThis would also make many people should pay for Google One.
However, this would allow many others to use this application instead of opting for others which offer more free space and which, later, would be those which have been captured by payment users when this space was insufficient. Currently The cameras draw more resolution, the videos occupy much more space And we take more photos.
Proposals such as Amazon, which offers unlimited storage in the photos, but not in videos on Amazon Photos, could also be interesting. It would be an intermediate solution between giving everything for free and asking to start paying almost a few months after starting the photos that we are a user with average or advanced use of the camera.
Ia edition
Although Google has already joined Google Photos of Image Edit Tools, there are still certain functions that are not available. For example, we cannot modify a photo to extend the outside perimeter using generative artificial intelligence. This is something that they started to implement signatures such as Samsung, Oppo or Xiaomi, and are not complex advantages to use.
Photos of Google Magic Editor
In addition, the quality of Edition to delete objectsOr to restore parts of an image, it is not to Samsung, for example. It is more similar to what Apple allows Apple, and it is not a compliment. The application editing options could also be improved, which was quite rare.
Photographic edition
13 years ago, Google bought Snapseed, a photography publishing application which can still be used today and that it shows that it comes from another era because it has no integrated purchases, no subscriptions or paying. And he also has no advertising. It's just A good photo editing tool.
Snapsed
The free android
This application is not a source of income for GoogleAnd barely keep it, with very little updates. The last one is a year ago. A way to take advantage of this purchase would be Integration of advanced editing functions on Google PhotosThis would apply one of the best with regard to almost professionally publishing editing images with the mobile, or with another camera as long as we had it in Google Photos.
External backup
Although Google Photos is in itself a backup of our photos in the Cloud, there are many users who, to publish space of their mobiles, remove the images from their devices and simply leave those on Google Servers. This means that, if they have a problem with their account, or if these photos are deleted, all our memories are lost.
It would be interesting for Google to easily make a backup of all the information you have via a zip and allow us to lower it, Update with all photos and videos, with the same album files for manufacturing organizationsSo that we keep it on a hard drive, in another online service, on Google Drive, etc.
The future of Google Photos
The company is clear that it has a successful product and will not leave it aside. With the inclusion of Gemini in him, we can change the way we interact with images, be able to look for with natural language and videos. Hopefully these improvements involve being able to create brief videos or assembled Simply with voice commands, using our own photos.
This type of functions, very striking but also useful, can give new advertisement to a service that generally goes unnoticed in people's conversations when it values the applications more, but in the background, they appreciate, because this is where their own images and photographs treasure.
There are also other ideas, such as power Create collaborative albums in which in addition to download photos, actions such as the reaction can be taken, leave commentsAnd even make editions on the image or create memes. It would be a way to transform Google Photos into a kind of private social network, alternately to what is done with Google Maps.
