I'm like you - it's been on my todo list for about 8 years... the thing that keeps my exit velocity insanely high is:

1. Entire family on @gmail 2. All Android phones setup to send photos to a shared family@google account so no one needs to 'send me those pictures from Anon's birthday' - it's all getting sent into the same account.

I'm not sure how to seamlessly pull off #2 without trying to lift and move the entire family over to iPhone's or something like that.



That's a recipe for disaster when a compromising photo gets spammed to the whole family.

Also, if it's the wrong kind of compromising photo, the whole family can lose the photos.


Yeah, I agree, that's way too inconvenient... I shall wait to get banned first.

Get an owncloud/nextcloud account somewhere (or host your own) and use that instead. Works pretty much the same.

I switched from Dropbox to that about 2 years ago, not problems at all. Email, I'm still hesitation though I probably shouldn't.
