Reasons to Sync Two Google Photos Accounts

In recent years, many people have had multiple Google Accounts, not just one. They separate business (or school) accounts from personal accounts to keep files and folders organized. For everyday use, users may have to put some content in one Google Account and some in a second Google Account. This is often common in the case of storing photos online.

Since Google allows you to upload photos to Google Drive and store 15 GB of original quality photos or high-quality photos to your Google Photos account, Google Photos has become a popular choice for many people to store and share photos online.
