Google Photos Class

Facilitator: Royce Jacob

Location: Large Classroom

Date: Monday Feb 23 @ 1 pm

How do you store and share photos and videos? Do you share using text, emails, social media, or other? Come prepared to hear how Royce uses Google Photos for cloud storage, simple photo edits, album creation, shareable links, and printed books. Better yet, come prepared to share what you do with all those great shots and clips. At the end, there will be a quiz.

About Google Photos

Google Photos is a cloud-based service that runs on multiple platforms, primarily via dedicated apps for Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices, and through a web browser on desktop computers. It requires a Google account to store, sync, and back up photos and videos across all connected devices.

Key Platforms and Features:

* Mobile Apps (Android & iOS): The primary way to access, edit, and back up photos from smartphones and tablets.

* Web Version: Accessible at photos.google.com for browsing, managing, and uploading from any desktop browser.

* Desktop App: Available to automatically back up photos from computers to the cloud.

* Infrastructure: As a cloud service, it relies on Google's cloud storage infrastructure, providing 15GB of free shared storage for photos, Gmail, and Drive.

* Cross-Platform Sync: Photos uploaded from one device (e.g., an iPhone) are instantly accessible on others (e.g., a web browser or Android tablet).

* System Requirements: The mobile app requires modern OS versions (e.g., iOS 18.0 or later for Apple devices).
