I cannot even use Google Photos in the same way that I use iCloud.
With iCloud I can set the system up to only retain low-resolution versions and only fetch high-quality when needed.
I can't do that with Google Photos. ANY app that requires me to open a photo opens up with the standard iOS photo viewer which does not allow anything. I can't even write an integration for iOS photos so I can browse my NAS, or Google Photos or DropBox or whatever.
