      Flickr vs Google Photos opinions
      This alternative is disputed. Flickr is still a legitimate alternative to Google Photos, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

      elrostelperien It's free, as quick as Google Photos, and also has great facial recognition. The editing capabilities are richer, and it has good raw support. Google Photos is fully online and slightly better or faster in many aspects overall, though.
