If you're an Android user and want your photos automatically backed up and stored in the cloud to ensure that you don't lose them, even if your device breaks or is lost, Google Photos is the way to go. If you're more of a business-class user and need collaboration, sharing, and editing features, you will want to use Google Drive. You have far more control over your files, changes are automatically synced, and you can restrict permissions and access to specific groups, users, and folders.
