Some very welcome news: Google announced today that it will close down its Google+ Photo Service, meaning that users will be moved onto the new Google Photos service.
This is great news, as I’m one of the many thousands of people forced to use Google+ and I found that the automated, unlimited backup of my photos to the Google+ service was its only real feature of merit.
The current Google+ photo service will end on the 1st of August.
The newer Google Photos service has been running for a couple of months or so and offers unlimited backup for up to 16MP photos and 1080p videos – which is very good indeed.
I’m sure that many people will welcome this move, and for me it’s one more reason to totally ignore Google+
