Sharing & storing photos
Discussion
Looking for a quick bit of advice if possible.
Since the arrival of a tiny human, me & the misses take a fair few photos and seem to be eternally sharing what we take with each other manually.
I'd like to back up these photos for safekeeping but also like for us both to have shared access to the photos. The idea being we can both back-up and then download from one place.
The easy way to do this is sharing google photos (so we both have access to the same 'cloud') but i've never done this and would like for it to only be Photos that are shared.
Would a network attached/WiFi Hard drive be another answer?
Thanks

Google Photos.
I had the exact same problem and this solved it - it uploads photos from phones immediately and organising them is super easy.
I have a load of the Google Nest Home Hubs too that pull pics from selected albums and broadcast them randomly to the screens too so they're always live.
You can share folder albums too so family members across the world have live access too.
Storage is cheap above the minimum tier as well.

Thought as much, i already pay for the additional storage. Can we share certain folders only etc? I had the exact same problem and this solved it - it uploads photos from phones immediately and organising them is super easy.

Both androids. Not sure why this makes much difference though
Because different platforms have different options, if I’d suggested using iCloud and shared albums on the Apple platform it would have been a waste of time for a android user…I’d say as already suggested Google Photos is a good bet.

Google Photos. Free to an extent (I pay for 100GB for £1.49 a month which gets you high res images) and you can share albums, host them, create new ones - its really easy and simple and no more backing up your phone to a HDD when you replace it, its all in the cloud and syncs really quickly so you can access all your photos on your PC as soon as you've taken them on your phone.
Sharing online is easy too. Right now I'm on a laptop but all I have to do is go to https://photos.google.com/ find the pic I want, download and upload to this thread, or just use Google as hosting. No downloading stuff off your phone or uploading to Dropbox. You can set all photos to automatically upload to your account.
