Complete nogo for powerusers . No raw unless you have some appropriate storage plan , in which case we ' re talking GDrive , another story , only 16 Mpixel jpegs with recompression . There ' s no direct access or tool to see if you really uploaded 3456 pictures from the last trip or for the last year , there ' s no simple way to get back only some pictures only google takeout which is everything , heck there ' s no way to even DELETE a bunch of pictures more than you can manually select ! However it is in fact PERFECT for the casual user who doesn ' t know what a folder is and loses allmost of his pictures each time a hard drive or phone dies on him ! <| sep |> Yes , this . They even announce this over the loudspeakers in GC as people wait to buy their tickets in line .
