I feel like Google Photos is a pretty incredible product.

It was until they removed the Google Drive integration.

They still don't have folders and have ignored years of feedback. The only reason I don't use it.

I use albums pretty heavily. Never really missed the ability to create folders.

The fact that I can search for anything I want means I don't need to really organize it besides albums.

The search is amazing and scary. I was looking for some pictures I took mid renovation and searched `wood` and they came up. I can search for lakes and trees. Quite impressive.

There are many other products especially privacy focused, ente.io[1], PhotoPrism[2] that look interesting but as of this writing they can't touch Google Photos in many respects, which is why my wife and other family members still use it heavily. It's probably the only reason I'm still holding on to my google account.
