    Unlimited full-resolution photo storage is the main reason I subscribe to Prime.

    Prime Video I could easily do without, Prime Music I haven’t even tried, Twitch Prime throws my friend a couple bucks a month, free shipping doesn’t matter since I could just wait to hit the minimum spend for free shipping. All nice to have, I guess, but I wouldn’t pay for.

    But the unlimited full-resolution photo storage alone is worth the full subscription price. I don’t even know how many 100s of GB of photos my wife and I have taken over the last decade, especially since having kids. Maybe another 5GB/mo?

      Prime Photos is nice but it doesn’t include videos, and I also wonder how long it will last. Nobody can really give out so much space for free, both Microsoft and Google tried to do it in the past and they reverted it back.

        Yeah, fair. I backup my videos by syncing to my old Pixel 3a. It’s low res, but I don’t really care about video quality on old videos. If I’m recording something to upload or share, then I’ll work with the original file.
