Photo storage needs differ from general file storage — you want AI organization, face recognition, easy sharing, and high-resolution backup without compression. Google Photos remains the most feature-rich option with its AI capabilities, but the free 15 GB fills quickly for serious photographers.
Apple iCloud Photos is the obvious choice for iPhone and Mac users. Amazon Photos (free unlimited photo storage for Prime members) is an underused gem. For professional photographers, Backblaze Personal Backup handles RAW files and external drives more comprehensively than consumer photo apps.
