各サービスの詳細分析

Google Photos

Google Photos excels at long-term photo management, but it has challenges for "temporarily sharing photos with many people" at events. The biggest hurdle is requiring all participants to have a Google account.

メリット

  • Free long-term storage up to 15GB
  • Advanced search with face recognition and location
  • Easy photo management with auto-backup
  • Long-term collaboration with shared albums
  • Easy PC access via browser

デメリット

  • Everyone needs a Google account to share photos
  • Complex sharing settings (link sharing, user adding, etc.)
  • Free storage is 15GB shared with Gmail and Google Drive
  • Privacy concerns with photos permanently on Google servers
  • AI face recognition raises privacy concerns for some
  • No auto-delete — unused shared albums need manual management

まとめ

Google Photos is the best service for personal photo management and long-term storage. However, for "temporarily sharing with large groups" at events, requiring Google accounts from everyone is a high barrier — especially for non-tech-savvy people and elderly users. PicTomo requires no account or app — just scan a QR code and anyone can join instantly. Auto-deletion with expiration dates provides peace of mind for privacy. We recommend "PicTomo for temporary event sharing, Google Photos for precious long-term storage."

FAQ

Q. Is there a way to share photos with people without Google accounts?

A. Google Photos' "Share link" feature allows viewing only, but adding photos requires a Google account. If you need everyone to post and view without accounts, PicTomo is recommended.

Q. What should I do when Google Photos storage runs out?

A. You can add storage with a Google One paid plan (from ¥250/month) or delete unnecessary photos. For temporary event sharing, using PicTomo saves your Google Photos storage.

Q. Can I save PicTomo photos to Google Photos?

A. Yes. Download photos from PicTomo as a ZIP file and upload them to Google Photos for long-term storage. "Collect with PicTomo, store with Google Photos" is an efficient approach.
