Personally, I'm happy to keep paying Dropbox. The Amazon and Google offerings aren't so much commercial products as hegemony extensions. When something's a sideline, I think there's a much higher risk of a mediocre product (e.g., Google Plus) or that eventually gets killed because strategery (e.g., Google Reader).

I'm ok with that for things I don't care too much about losing, but my photos are precious to me, so I'll keep them with a company whose main business is not losing my stuff. Dropbox has one job, and so far they have consistently acted like they know it.

Google Photos is really good at viewing/galleries/sharing and indexing, and especially so at applying machine intelligence for categorization and tagging. How well does Dropbox handle this stuff?
