Results: do you store your photos on the cloud and which service do you use?

Nowadays, we take so many photos that it's hard to sift through them, let alone find an effective way to store them. Well, Google Photos does offer an infinite storage if you allow it to compress your photos, but if you want to keep your originals, you will have to cough up the dough... or rely on local, physical storage.

So, with Google Photos and Apple's iCloud being the competing 1st party services, and 3rd party offers like Dropbox, OneDrive, and many others, we thought we'd ask where you store your memorabilia. Here's how that poll went:
