Google Photos recently announced an update to its storage policy, confirming that it would discontinue unlimited free storage for users from June 1, 2021. Google confirmed that all photos and videos uploaded before June 1, 2021, will be counted against the 15GB storage cap. However, Google has provided adequate time for users to decide whether to stick to Google Photos or switch to another service. So, here is a list of Google Photos alternatives you could use instead.

Flickr | Free | Android / iOS | Flickr is a free online photo storage service with a ton of nifty features.
