Why Backup iCloud Photos to Google Drive?

iCloud Photos is Apple's photo storage solution for its users. If you're an Apple user, iCloud Photos is already built into your device and likely syncs with all your native apps. With iCloud Photos, you always have access to your entire and up-to-date iCloud Photo library, no matter where you are or what device you're using. iCloud Photos provides users with 5GB of free space and is available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and even Windows computers.

Anyone with a Google account can use Google Drive, and users can use it on Android phones. Unlike iCloud Photos, Google Drive provides users with 15GB of free space, along with productivity tools like a calendar, a photo manager, and a file system. In addition, Google Drive also comes with Gmail, which is believed to be used by many users.

In terms of free space and features, Google Drive is indeed better than iCloud Photos. Therefore, many users are willing to back up the data in iCloud Photos to Google Drive.
