The hidden cost of "free" photo storage

When the product is free, your data is the product.

Face grouping active by default

Google Photos uses face grouping to organize photos by person. You can manage this in settings, but it's on by default.

AI features analyze your photos

Google uses machine learning for search, memories, and suggestions. While Google states they don't train generative AI outside Photos with your data, your photos are still analyzed.

Not end-to-end encrypted

Google encrypts photos in transit and at rest, but they're not end-to-end encrypted, so Google can access your photo content.

Location tracking

Photo metadata reveals where your family goes, building a detailed profile of your movements and habits.

Cross-service profiling

Photo data connects to your Gmail, Search, YouTube, and other Google services for comprehensive profiling.

Storage pressure

Free storage limits push you toward paid plans, while your existing photos continue to train AI models.
