I'm already planning to get off ChromeOS (unscrew the write protect screw!) and Google services, but this takes it one point further.
If they remove this option, they should better integrate Google Photos with Chromebooks. Chromebooks have somewhat buggy Drive integration, but it's there. Android at least have it better, because if you can select files from Drive, you can do the same with Photos. GMail finally has proper integration with it.
I also used the integration to move some photos to Photos, because it is was easy on a Chromebook.
With current resource hungry GMail, Maps and Photos low end Chromebooks are almost unbearable. And that was supposed to be their niche.
