Josh freghar from Andhra thority what's going on everybody and here we are at Google i/o 2015 and I'm actually here to show you a brand new app or rather ecosystem even that was just released and announced at Google i/o keynote and it is of course Google Photos you can see that I already have it downloaded and it actually is occupying its own home screen right now on my s6 edge but the Google Photos went live and you can find it at photos google.com on a desktop on your laptop or anything and it is a lot like it's really a it's a very Google stylistic let's say Flickr page you will have some tools there for editing and it will show all of your photos there as well but here is the splash screen for the first boot up as you can see there and it looks already pretty nice what we have here essentially is just a place to be able to upload and store all of your photos and videos from the beginning of time and for all of the future you will be able to download a version of Google photos onto your smartphones or tablets and also on the desktop now the desktop also comes with a standalone uploader which will automatically upload photos from your my pictures folder from your downloads folder pretty much anything that you would pick and which is important to me because I take screenshots on my laptop all the time and I would love for those to be backed up much like on Dropbox so I can always create a folder that the screenshots end up going to and then it will automatically upload them to Google photos and you can see the splash screen right now backed up safely always stored and you will be able to organize and label them accordingly so we're gonna go ahead and get started I'm gonna go ahead and back up and sync and only backup when Wi-Fi is available for mine high-quality now this is the kicker right here high quality images are going to be stored but they will be at a reduced file size but if you really wanted to put full resolution or even full RAW files for example or full 4k of video files you would have to use whatever storage you have paid for or have on Google Drive and you can always pay for more if it came down to it in my case I have a 100 gigabyte storage promotion going on so that's why I have 140 we'll go ahead and hit to go forward you can always pinch-to-zoom and you can go for months or go into the weeks or days and whatnot you can select things quicker by pressing hold and then swiping downward in order to select everything which i think is a functionality that should be in all all Android devices no matter if it's in the gallery or whatnot you can navigate from left to right to different collections and different types of categorizations Google Play services stop which is unfortunate but anyway you can also find faster by searching now searching there's also categorized contextually so that what you'll be able to do is look up pictures of dogs so you'll look up pictures of you playing baseball you'll look up pictures based upon the geo-tagging of a photo for example on the desktop version and I'll show it to you right here as well I do already have some pictures that are showing up from the last week or so now the photos assistant is what is going to be in the assistant page the first page now is over all the way on the left and it will give you a look at the different types of photos and videos that are put together into little memories packages which is really nice so I'll go and swipe that away and you're also gonna backup different device folders little bag of folders like downloads and screenshots like I mentioned to you was already available in the desktop version which is great so we're gonna go from here photos collections it is still aggregating all of my photos from from the cloud from my Google Plus page already so there we go now we have in search the ability to look for faces now people from all over my walks of life have appeared on here even some pictures from various screen shots I took you can see that the Joker's face is right there so pretty much any face that comes up in your photos I as prominent will be able to show up automatically and you'll be able to easily find pictures of those people like for example we even have pictures of Darci here and we're going to see pictures of them in here as well now we're going to see pictures of even just me I'm always going to be the first one that's available there and really they're just easy ways of finding extra people you can also go to places and this is where things get geotagged you'll have geo tags photoes from Los Angeles Pasadena places I've been to Singapore even and if I were to search for a photo or rather let me hit Search let's say I wanted to search for Seattle this this example I already found on my desktop these were all photos that were geo tagged in Seattle but not only that the word landmarks from Seattle like the Pike Place Market the Space Needle which is this picture right here where I was actually on the Space Needle that I took there that are all categorized under the Seattle search and things like pictures of food I'll have all of my foodie pictures in this particular category and I take quite a lot of them as you've seen in my camera shoot outs and the sky types videos creations even photos that are just in my Google Drive so on the desktop it looks about as simple as it does right here with the menu over on the side even the even the editing tools are pretty simple you'll be able to you'll be able to crop your photos and if you wanted to you can tag photos via the descriptions of them so if I were to hold on here oops I were to press on here and then open here I can add info into the details if I wanted to on at least on the desktop version I don't see why I don't right here right now but really that's just a quick look at Google photos it's a brand new ecosystem that has one major trait to it the fact that you can upload all of your photos and videos to it I'll be a tad maybe a slightly smaller file size hopefully not enough to detract from the quality of the photo but you can do it unlimited and absolutely free Google photos is a pretty nice ecosystem it's almost like Google Place Hulu play music from two years ago they're hoping that this will be the end-all be-all for a lot of people who are hoping to safely backup all of the memories to the cloud nonetheless this is Joshua Vergara from Android auto reporting to you live from Google i/o 2015 here at the Moscone Center in San Francisco California keep it tuned here for even more because we argue our source for all things Google i/o
