Use Your Google Photos Login Across Multiple OS

Anyone remember saving negative films to reprint the desired photos later on? The resounding silence says probably not. The way we create and store images have drastically changed within the last couple decades.

Google Photos is completely free to get started. On top of all of this, you can access Google Photos across numerous desktop Operating Systems—Mac OS, Windows, and Linux—right inside Shift!
