I believe Google Photos visibly downgrades the quality of your images, so it is not a viable option if you care about preserving the originals.

You have the option to turn that on or off.
Oh, good to know. Does it preserve the original file exactly?
I think so. The site says
>Original quality - Store photos & videos with no change to their quality
>Storage saver - Store more at a slightly reduced quality
but I haven't really checked.
It did seem to not preserve some of the special iphone format stuff like if you edit a photo on an iphone it keeps the original and the edit wheras on google photos I just got the edited image.
Yes, but of course, that takes more data without their compression and one eventually has to pay more for storage as expected, but at least that option is there.
