POLL: Do you use JRiver's Images?

I checked Occasionally, but that really only means once a year or so, and I have other options. In fact, it has probably been 2 years since I used it for anything meaningful.

thanks for the pointer, TIL that google keep this option fairly well hidden (I found the details in https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-enable-google-photos-folder-in-your-google-drive/ in case anyone else is similarly in the dark, i.e. go to the settings cog in the drive website and tick the relevant checkbox to create a photos folder in drive)

That's a really good idea... One of the reasons I stopped using the Photos very much is because I rarely would use my DSLR.  I might have to do this now.  Thanks for the idea!

You can use Camera > Acquire to move images from your phone to your computer.  Options allow you to delete those from your phone or not.

You could. If you go the Google Drive app route though, the photos are auto imported into MC within a minute or so of being taken, so no faffing around connecting the phone to the computer, which is nice.

I use iPhone, but choose to use Google Photos over iCloud. I'm not sure about Android, but for removing, to have everything in sync, I need to remove from Google Photos by logging in from the PC. These are then automatically removed from MC a few minutes later, and I get a notification on my phone to confirm deletion of the photos.

I think it might be easier than this from an Android phone though, at least, I would expect it to be.
