Have you tried to exchange photos from iOS to Android? Also Google drive requires you to have a Gmail address.
Not well versed in all platforms but whenever I talk to others to exchange photos of events and such. It's always a tremendous pain point to figure out how/where to.
Just my observations as I am trying to figure out the most frictionless way to exchange pics.
Also reminder that each versions of iOS and Android has their own limits based on app level that tops out at their versions.
Just a big huge mess.
PS. imho. Policies don't mean jack when there is absolutely no way for you to know if they have or haven't scraped. Gmail eng already got caught using his level of access to harass ppl. And Ring /Tesla were both caught sharing what should have been private and anon videos. I understand from dev point one must be able to decrypt to debug but nevertheless, you use their service, it's theirs to do whatever they want.
Not that I'm peddling anything illegal but my family photos I've already had random files including pictures and videos that wasn't mine in my Google drive and it also wasn't wrongly shared.
CV+ML with AI now don't need human intervention to id the materials.
