How to take back control of your photos without sacrificing convenience

Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about something that’s been bothering me. Remember when Google Photos was completely free and unlimited? Those days are gone. Now we either pay a monthly subscription, juggle multiple accounts, or watch with anxiety as free iCloud space runs out.
