Thinking about cancelling my Google Drive storage.

Thinking about cancelling my Google Drive storage. No sense in having it only to backup the photos if you can't really share them properly. Plus still no client for Linux. Dropbox is showing itself much better option. It's so sad to see technology take steps back.

Google Google Drive Google Photos Google+

    Jessica Meyer I am also disappointed with Google Drive compared to Dropbox. I recently did a clean reinstall of my OS and when it came time to reinstall both Drive and DropBox, DropBox has better options. For example, both had options for syncing but Google Drive only gave the option to sync the folders at the root of the Drive folder, where as DropBox it was possible to drill down to as many sub folder as you have.

    I think many users are happy with that because when Google Photos was integrated with Google+ many they complained. Or am I missing the point?

    Sirus Laia they could use the Photos features of Google+ Photos without bothering about Google+ if they wanted. But now there's no integration of Google Photos with Google+. I think Google shot its own foot.

    Jessica Meyer +Google has really, really bungled Google+ , Google Drive and Google Photos in a very very bad way in the last year.
    They seem intent on shooting themselves in the foot.
    But, I don't understand why they had to mangle already good products?

    You can share Google Photos just fine in different ways. Also in G+ where people can comment the photos.
    A while ago you couldn't share to people without Google account, now you can, with simple link.
    I really don't see what is so wrong with it. Google photos is very much used service by photographers and people who love photography. And I don't know if there is any better service for them.
    To even compare Google photos with Apple iCloud services is just showing how out of touch is the iVerge!

    You could always share Google+ photos through links, without the others need to have a Google+ account. They just needed a Google+ account to comment or +1 on the photos, which now it's impossible for everyone.

#vegetarian   #vegan   #evolution   Originally shared by Sean P. O. MacCath-Moran +Eve Volve: "Meat allowed us to evolve" Really? I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve ? As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so. For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL ). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were veg...
