It took a lot of work and effort to migrate my ex’s photos off of her iphone and onto an actual hard drive. They funnel the average person into their cloud services with proprietary file extensions, low storage space, the asinine problem of having to have the phone open and unlocked for files to transfer to third party apps, thanks Nextcloud on IOS, and cheap introductory fees.
Definitely
proprietary file extensions
What file extension is that?
Perhaps he means heic (not proprietary yet not used much outside of i-devices)
For casuals with Windows computer, they can install iCloud, and sync and make them available for offline use on their computers. This is basically like any popular cloud services out there except Google, that has Takekout
My only takeaway from this article is that Google could be doing so much more. I wish we had anything close to WWDC in terms of fanfare behind new features & functionality
WWDC feels cultish to me. They get excited and are positive about every showing even if it was complete shit like the $999 monitor stand.
Oh, it was discounted?
The Apple eco-system is definitely nice, but I think it’s over-played.
