Can someone explain to me why google really wants me to move my photos out of Drive and into Google Photos? What’s in it for them?


Everyone putting everything they own into one place will help Google acquire more data about its users. It's fox asking all the hens to put their eggs in one basket.

It's optional now. But, give it a few years, and no one will be allowed to use Google services without all their stuff on One.


Google Photos is a key source of data for their work on image processing, classification, etc...
