Last May, Google has introduced their Photos app to the public. And just this Thursday, Dec. 10 we learned that they have just added a new feature to the said app. With the said feature, it is now easier to create and share collaborative albums with other users.

It will now allow shared albums so users can have the option to allow their family members and/or friends to be able to contribute to a specific album. The new feature seems to be the tech company's version of their competitor, Apple's iCloud Photo Sharing.

The Cupertino company's version allows the user's family and/or friends to subscribe to that user's photo albums, get notified if there are new photos added and leave comments. Google might be at an advantage though, as the iCloud Photo Sharing is available to iOS and OS X users only while their version is available for not only iOS users, but to Android and web users as well.

So how does one make it work? Assuming that the user had just created an album and uploaded pictures, after they are done, they will see an option to make the album "collaborative." Once the user chooses that option, they can then select who they would like to share the album with.

These people or collaborators chosen will get a message asking them if they would like to join the album. Once they opted to join, the creator of the album will also then get notified. The people or collaborators that the user adds will now be able to add photos to the said album. However, before a user can be added to an album, be a collaborator, and receive updates to that album; they must first have a Google account.

Additionally, Google's Photo app also offers unlimited storage space so one doesn't have to worry about running out of memory space. There is also an option to download the photos that the other contributors have added.
