There is nothing on the web able to even enter the same ballpark as Photoshop.

Separately, when on travel, a web connection for your photos may be very hard to find and/or expensive.

Separately, again, Google photos downscales my photos. My hard drive does not.

Why do you think we should only have shitty tools with bad accessibility and low quality?

They only downscale if you choose the "free unlimited" option under settings. If you choose the "Original" option they don't -- or at least, I assumed they don't! Unfortunately if you want to store more than 14GB of "Original" images -- a quite trivial quantity for the serious photog -- you have to pay. I'd have to pay $10/mo for the 1TB if I wanted to put all my pics online.

At for example Smugmug.com you can have unlimited storage of original images with a VASTLY better UI for less than $4/mo.
