Can this be a lesson to all to never keep an only copy of your photos on a photo site, even if you are paying for it.

Unless there's another free hosting site with unlimited pictures up to 14mpx and unlimited vids up to fullhd I'm giving all my trust to Google <3

Again, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Store them somewhere else - there is plenty of providers: Dropbox, Amazon, Microsoft, Backblaze, ect.

And make sure at least two of them have egress policies so you can get your data back. Regardless, keep you own backup somewhere unless you don't care about losing the data.

Well yeah, if your pictures are only worth "FREE", then that's the right call.

How does this relate to the fact that the photos are stored for free? You store them the same on apple drive and it's not free..

I read it as you only use one service because there is only one good free one (= not willing to pay for a second copy = can't be that valuable)
