I get it, the thought of even tracking down what you’re doing in the first place is overwhelming.

It might only be $12 here and $20 there, but it adds up. Think of these as invisible storage units you’re paying for all around town to store the exact same stuff. If you’re paying for iCloud, and Amazon Photos (since you’re paying for Prime anyway), and now plan on also upgrading to Google One, get a grip. Next, put together a list of all the places you store photos and how much it’s costing you.
