Apple and Google Launch New Photo Transfer Tool for Google Photos to iCloud

Apple and Google have introduced a new photo transfer tool, enabling Google Photos users to transfer their collections directly to iCloud. This tool supports the transfer of both photos and videos, expanding the existing capability that allowed transfers from iCloud to Google Photos.

Powered by the open-source Data Transfer Project (DTP) technology stack, this new offering joins the suite of direct portability tools currently available from Apple, Google, and Meta to billions of users worldwide.

This development underscores the growing importance of data portability in the digital age, reflecting user expectations for seamless data transfer across daily-used apps and services. The DTP technology aligns data models, authentication methods, and other elements, embodying the collective vision for the future of data portability.
