Google IO: New Google Photos is all about organization, sharing and free unlimited storage

Announced today at Google IO, Google Photos is the culmination of Google Drive images and Google+.

The photo storage and sharing service will offer unlimited storage of 16MP photos and 1080p videos for free starting today.

Key differentiating features include an automatic storage assistant that groups photos by people, places and things, and a timeline feature that reduces scrolling when searching for "that one photo from about five years ago where you did that one thing with Steve."

Also new is the ability to drag and highlight photos to select more than one photo at a time, and share them directly via a link instead of by email.

Android users have the added benefit of automatic backup and syncing with Google Drive.
