Google Photos – Can I get out?
Google's old desktop app "Picasa" is still my go-to for organizing photos. I make a file system folder for each "album". Everything stays local on the fs and there is no doubt about where the originals are (compared to iPhoto/Photos.app, etc etc). OSX' built-in Time Machine to an USB drive + rsync to a NAS takes care of multiple backups. I can easily drag&drop files into apps and upload forms with no doubt that I'm working on the best possible copy (original).<p>Too bad the app appears to have been going unmaintained for some time now. It doesn't even support retina displays on OSX (in a <i>photo</i> app!)
