I side with this to Google, it isn't fair to them from the user side. And also to us end users as those people take the space unfairly

vrvly, 12 Dec 2018It was always limited, about as much as data plans from carriers.Indeed!
And if you happen to live in a bad coverage area, then you're better off with a 128+GB SD which happen to go on sale every now and then.

Who needs microsd storage when we already have cloud storage
- says the guy who said 16/32gb of storage is enough despite paying for a 4k video capable phone.
Free and fast internet is everywhere. Do not be a luddite and keep up with technology
- every cloud storage white knights who make fun of flash drives/ssd users.
Hope that your beloved unlimited internet is the next one to take a hit. Lmao.

Good thing Jobs did not managed to sell to the gullible public how outdated expandable storage is and that cloud storage is the future of post-hard drive world. Lmao.

Anonymous, 12 Dec 2018google photos backup is crap photos get deleted automatica... moreBeen using Google photos for over 5 years, never lost anything. Are you sure they get deleted, or they just get automatically backed up and later on when accessing them on mobile you don't see them as you don't have internet connection?

The backups are nothing but data to train their AI models.
No doubt they lead in the software industry because of so much data available for training.

OEMs = hey we give you super 4k video recording! But we give you just 32-64GB of storage for it... Because who care that one minute of 4k video weight 350-400Mb....
Google = hey we give you unlimited video and photo strage but you can use just thumbnails of them! haha jokes on you. But still give us them because we are interested in what pictures you have....

I have a lot of RAW photos backed up so that's going to be a problem.
Also why there isn't an option to exclude RAW photos from backup?
