They downsample the images, which is why I don't use it. Gmail is large, but not unlimited.

Besides the gigabyte price of a harddrive is about 0.02[0], so if google makes a dollar more in advertising it can afford to store quite a bit...

I use Google for my 'main' feed of photos just because Photos is an excellent product and I don't mind if they are downsampled for sharing or posting online.

I also keep all of all of my processed RAW files on Amazon Prime Photos. I never log into the app though, it's simply just my offsite backup. My NAS automatically syncs to Amazon Photos weekly.
