This is my favorite Google application of the day. I totally love it! Very clean, and fast (so far), currently uploading half of a TB. The Google Photos Backup is missing the OS X dark theme icon, but it is minor detail. Eagerly awaiting the iOS app.

on desktop, this is just a page that says "get the app or check back soon"

If you are a current Picasa user, it does work on the desktop, and it appears it's using the content from picasaweb.google.com.

I really liked Google Photos. The problem is all my pictures are on Apple Photos (on iCloud, not on my mac, and I don't have enough storage to download it all). I would like to transfer it. I hope someone solves my problem.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure Apple and Google will help create open standards for executing bulk data transfers between cloud storage providers.

If you really want this, rent a VPS for a few hours/days and use it as temporary storage.

A seedbox would be ideal. $10 will get your more than enough speed and storage for the transfer.

How do I do that. I.e. how can i export all photos/videos from my iCloud Photos Library to a VPS ?

Does anyone how to manually create a Pano (panorama) image? Auto Awesome does this for most of the photos I make but it failed to do so it for a few. Is there a way to select the photos that should be pano and have "the machine" have another scan over them to see if it can stitch them together?

Click menu in top left and then load assistant. In top right click plus and you can create 'awesomes' from there.

I've not had a chance to watch the keynote yet; is there an accompanying API for Google Photos?
