Any thoughts on whether Google Photos will stick around? I find it's far better than any alternatives I've come across, and the recent Inbox shutdown made me realize how "dependent" I am on it.

That’s gonna be an interesting one to watch.
Hosting the worlds photos costs many billions of dollars each year!
That said it’s a key driver to sell android phones (“infinite storage”)...so for the time being you will be good.

But then again according to information that came out during the Oracle lawsuit, they only made $36Billion from Android during its entire existence.

Just googled around and I'm guessing the terms allow google to use the photos and associated metadata which sounds to me like it would be hugely valuable. For ML research, search, advertising, etc. If Google knows where my photos were taken, what products are in the photo, what car, etc.
