Can't you still use Google Drive to store your photos?

There's a Google Drive app for Windows Phone?

Does there need to be? You can access Google Drive from the web. Does it not work?

Not exactly an ideal situation for automatically uploading photos you take on your phone and scrolling through 10,000 photos in a browser doesn't sound pleasant.

@Zendroid1 Ah, I see. I don't use Gdrive for photos, only for bookeeping for my business, and sharing project folders with others. I didn't realize it was the automation you wanted. I'm in the same camp as you in that I don't have a WindowsPhone yet, so I don't know that there is a solution which includes the automation of photo library backups... but I suppose worst case scenario, you could auto-back to OneDrive (assuming it has that functionality) and then manually copy the photos over to Gdrive on your PC. Bit of a pain.

So what's the deal with Google? I figured if anyone would have apps on WindowsPhone it would be Google, they're literally everywhere. Bing/Google rivalry?

Yeah, it's annoying. Google is just really refusing to do much on windows phone. If I'm correct, I believe windows 10 is the first time they are allowing easy access to a gmail account. They have all their apps on iOS but not windows, so odd.
