Photos+ is a cloud-based photos library with unlimited storage of your original unmodified photos and videos and powered by your own cloud storage account. You can choose from OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or any other S3-compatible storage platform. Use it as a second photo library to separate your precious photos from your main photo library, or use it as your primary photo library, resting assured that your photos are safely stored in your own cloud storage platform. When used with OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox, you’re only limited by the available free storage of your accounts. When used with other S3-compatible storage platforms, there is no limit to the number of photos and videos you can store and with most S3-compatible cloud storage providers, you only pay for the actual storage you use. • Synchronize / upload on demand. Photos+ was designed with professional photographers and videographers in mind who may shoot tens of gigabytes of content out on the field on a typical shoot. With our synchronize on demand feature, you can create new albums, select photos and videos for upload, and manage all other aspects of your cloud library while using a minimal amount of mobile network bandwidth while out on a shoot, and then optionally leave the actual heavy lifting of the actual uploading for when you’re back home on WIFI. • Powerful sharing. Similar to iCloud Links, Photos+ offers a simple way to publish selected photos and videos as a private, read-only web gallery. • Automatic image classification. Just like your built-in photo library, Photos+ automatically categorizes all your photos using advanced AI image classification so you can quickly search your photos based on tags. • Location based searches and automatic reverse geocoding. Photos and videos containing latitude/longitude data are automatically reverse geocoded to their respective cities, counties, countries and named places and become instantly searchable by location. • Select your own cloud storage platform where you can store your priceless photos and videos. With Photos+, your photos and videos are safely stored in your own account with the storage platform you configure, so your photos and videos are also available for direct download from OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or the S3-compatible storage platform you are using even without the Photos+ app. Subscription Pricing and Terms - Subscriptions will not automatically renew. If you take no action, your subscription will expire in 365 days and you will not be automatically charged again. Instead you will have the option to renew your subscription at the end of its current term or simply let it expire. - Subscriptions are nonrefundable, so please choose this option carefully. - Please refer to the In-App purchases section for pricing.
