Advertisement Google Photos is one of right now. With unlimited storage, smart AI that auto-sorts pictures, and a built-in photo editor, it’s a winner. But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Even now, there isn’t a Google Photos for desktop app to save all your pictures offline on your computer. While the auto-organization is great, the manual organization is a mess. The mobile app is fantastic for backing up photos and videos, but it’s substandard as a Gallery. And we all know Google’s many privacy problems, so are you sure you want to give it more of your personal data? You need a Google Photos alternative, whether you know it or not. That’s not to say you need to uninstall Google Photos—feel free to run Need a better way to manage your pictures on Android? These smart photo apps do all the work for you to sort, delete, and more., each for its own purpose. And: Desktop Apps and Unlimited Backups The biggest reason most people use Google Photos is that it offers unlimited photo and video storage, albeit with some restrictions. If you want to ditch Google but still get that benefit, both Ever and Shoebox are excellent. ITunes for the Mac isn't nearly as buggy as it is on Windows, but it's still a bit bloated and the interface is getting more obtuse with each release.

The apps are super easy to use on both mobile and desktop. The free plans will shrink photos to 10 megapixels (3264 pixels on the longest side), which is good enough image resolution to print them if you ever want to. Unfortunately, both apps are terrible for video backup. Ever doesn’t support it at all. Shoebox is not worthwhile as a video storage service though since you can only backup a total of 15 minutes of footage at Full HD resolution, with each video not crossing three minutes in length. The paid version of both services give you more video backup and full-resolution photos. Download: Shoebox for||| (Free) Download: Ever for||| (Free) 2. (Web, Android, iOS): Private Albums With Controlled Sharing Google Photos doesn’t have a social aspect like Instagram. Then again, do you really want Google looking through all the pictures clicked at that private event you recently attended? More importantly, do you trust yourself to not accidentally share a picture you shouldn’t have? Cluster is a private photo-sharing app where you control who gets to see or add to any album. It’s all about who you send invitations to, or accept invitations from. Each event is its own album, so people from one space can’t see photos from another.
