there are four reasons why I went with this the first one is because it'sso easy the user interface super straightforward there's nothing tofigure out the second is because sharing if you're on iCloud for example and youshare photos with an Android user that's not a good experience but with Googlephotos it's really easy to share across any platform or any kind of phone thethird reason why is because there's free unlimited photo and video storage yes!that's pretty amazing however the catch is that they compress your photos andvideos to these numbers but if you're like me and you care about keeping theoriginals then their pricing for storage is very competitive and info in thatdescription below the last reason why is because they will categorize your photosfor you I love having things done for me and Google does a great job ofcategorizing by face recognition even for pets so you can search by pets or byyears or by places etc the catch with that is that Google has your data so ifyou care about something like that it may not be the rightother brands that were recommended to me that a lot of which I've never heard ofbefore are in the description below and but for me I cared about going with abig brand that I knew wasn't gonna go out a business any time soonlet's jump into number three which is new habits that I have decided to adoptto stay organized with my photos in the future there's two parts of this thefirst one is I'm going to Marie Kondo the crap out of my photos if you don't knowwhat I'm talking about this book by Marie Kondo has totally beenlife-changing for me around how I think about anything from photos to friendsand I really just asked myself two questions one would I share this photoand two does it bring me joy and would I want to look at this photo again if theanswer is no to either of those delete it the second thing I'm going to do movingforward is a habit of going through my photos while in transport so in otherwords when I'm on the plane when I'm in my uber when I'm in the fill-in-the-blankI'm gonna start going through my photos Marie Kondo-ing them and start toclean them out over time so that I'm not stuck like right now with 10, 000 photosjust from this year and before is things to do with your photos beyond justprinting that Shutterfly photo album mom I know you love to do that but thereare some other things that you can consider doing one of them for me isduring Christmastime I like to print one or two dozen of my favorite travelphotos from the year remember that favorites folder of is talking about andI like to decorate the Christmas tree with them instead of using ornamentsit's a great way of not having to own Christmas ornaments and a great way ofremembering and reminiscing on all the travel that happened from that year sothat's something to consider I also put an article in the description of one ofmy favorite places to learn about other fun things to do yeah yeah yeahorganized travel photos hope you enjoyed this video CHEERS that like button but Iknow you already did and consider subscribing and share it it really doeshelp this channel I'm here every week with new travel videos tell me I want toknow in the comments how do you organize your photos are you gonna try some ofthese methods I'm here every week I'll see you in the next adventure .
