5. Photos
One of the coolest features Google has nowadays is Photos. A mix of its own service and the defunct Picasa, Photos that ranks 5th in our list of best Google apps for Chromebook, offers users quite a few options. On top of having the benefit of being able to access photos taken with a device connected to your account from anywhere, there is more to see. You can search for photos containing dogs for instance, if you want to search for your puppy, or type in a blue hat and you’ll find it easier to spot those pics in an instant.
Then, there’s the Photos assistant, which reminds you each day of photos you took in previous years, presenting you with a cute collage and inviting you to rediscover the day. This is also the place where you’ll find those automated animations, videos, and collages Google creates from photos and videos you take. You can also make these on your own if you desire, and Google provides you with all the tools you need and easy access to your entire archive.
Furthermore, there’s also the Albums area of Photos where you’ll find the albums you’ve created, as well as those Google put together in the blink of an eye after you took gazillion photos visiting the Zoo with the kids, for instance. You can also check specific albums such as those you’ve shared, or pictures grouped by the place they were taken, or see videos only and so on.
