This whole google photos thing is actually what caused me to ditch Drive in favor of Dropbox. When they launched the photos thing, it immediately re-copied every photo I already had on Drive, filling my storage space overnight. Then I had to jump through hoops to finally get the copies deleted and get my space back. Then I cancelled drive and just re-synced it to dropbox because fuck that. At the same time I was looking for a music service, and ended up going with Spotify instead of Play even though I like Play's interface better just because of the sour taste the shitty photo sync left in my mouth.
