There’s no comparing that to Amazon or Google’s free-for-unlimited-storage pricing, but as far as user-friendliness is concerned, iCloud’s photo storage can’t be beat - so long as you’re purely an Apple user. The latter backs up all your photos ever and is free if you only use five gigabytes of space - though who could get away with that little storage? It’s more likely that you’ll have to pay, which ranges from monthly charges of $.99 for 20 gigabytes to as high as one terabyte for $20. The former stores your 1,000 most recent photos in the cloud, making them accessible across all your devices for free. Actually, Apple has two online photo storage solutions: Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library. If you’ve got any Apple handheld product, there’s a good chance that you’re already using this service (and you may not even realize it), through something called “Photo Stream.” This is representative of how convoluted and confusing Apple’s online photo storage options have become. Be sure to actually read the terms of service on this one before you send your pictures into the cloud. After uploading his photos to Google’s service, Fortune’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt had second thoughts about Google’s use of his data. But the tradeoff for this incredible convenience is privacy.
