Another reason to no longer use Google+

It is hard to believe that Google+ is still around. However, for a service that we dubbed as one of Google’s failures last year, it is still kicking. Whether it will continue to exist is still anyone’s guess, though today another reason to use it has been removed because Google announced that photos and videos stored on Google+ will now be available on Google Drive.
The new Photos menu in Drive is currently available for the web, Android, and iOS platforms where users are now able to manage their photos and videos in addition to other types of files. According to a blog post from Google Drive product manager Josh Hudgins, users will start “seeing their photos in Drive today —immediately if they’re new, and a few weeks for your entire library—so give it a try, and let us know what you think.”
Hudgins’ explanation for photos and videos ending up on Drive is that “your experience across Google should be seamless and consistent.” But Plus users can breathe a sigh of relief as he adds, “Google+ Photos will of course keep helping you store, edit and share your pics. But if you want to organize all your files, all in one place, Drive is here to help.”
So it seems that this isn’t the end for Google+ just yet. But will its end come anytime soon? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
