In short, if you miss the unlimited storage on Google Photos and are worried about their ambiguous security and privacy policies, then iDrive is your best alternative. Although it isn’t end-to-end encryption (such as that used on Microsoft’s Vault), it still far surpasses the security policies of Google Photos. Security is another strength, with comprehensive encryption of data both when it is in transit and when resting on iDrive's servers. The iDrive web client is also impressive, making it easy to access your files from any web-enabled device. Over a rigorous testing period, we found no significant issues with any of iDrive's apps and found all the main features straightforward to use. IDrive (which, by the way, is nothing to do with Apple) also scores highly for accessibility, with reliable apps available on iOS, Android, and Windows devices. Photographers shooting in RAW format will find IDrive particularly appealing due to the format's large file sizes. So if you manage a sizeable image library, this could be your best bet. Note that images in albums won’t share, and you have to use the second method to transfer them afterwards.On a per-GB basis, you won't find any other cloud storage as affordable as this. Unless you pay for more storage space, all free Google accounts have only 15GB of space.

Make sure you have enough space on both accounts, or else a portion of the files won’t be able to transfer. Also, all descriptions and captions will also be transferred to another account.

If you delete images from the first account, they’ll remain on the second and vice-versa.
