Google+ Photos Now In Google Drive
31 March 2015
A Google Drive blog post by Josh Hudgins, Google Drive product manager, has announced "the photos and videos you keep in Google+ Photos will also be available in Google Drive."
As John Nack noted, "You've long been able to make images you store in Google Drive show up in Google+ Photos." Now it works both ways.
The Google Drive post explains how:
To get started, just look for the new Photos menu in Drive for Android, iOS and the Web. From there you'll be able to manage your photos and videos alongside other types of files. For example, you can now add pictures of wedding venues and cakes to the same Drive folder as your guest list and budget.
For more information see the text of the Google Drive blog post below and the Help Center page devoted to the new feature.
Your Photos and Files, Together in Drive
We take all kinds of photos, from pics of friends and family to snapshots of a scenic view. We also use photos for more practical purposes, like planning a wedding, remodeling a kitchen or capturing meeting notes from a whiteboard. But while you may snap all sorts of images, your experience across Google should be seamless and consistent. That's why starting today, the photos and videos you keep in Google+ Photos will also be available in Google Drive.

Google+ Photos will of course keep helping you store, edit and share your pics. But if you want to organize all your files, all in one place, Drive is here to help. You'll start seeing your photos in Drive today -- immediately if they're new and a few weeks for your entire library -- so give it a try and let us know what you think.
