You can use the share button to generate a link and share a full-resolution image without sending it as a file ( like so), or multiple images in an album ( like so). When it comes to album and image sharing, Amazon mostly offers just what Google gives you. If you get enough trustworthy friends signed up (or have a big family) and everyone is willing to share part of the cost, Prime could end up being significantly cheaper than Google Photos in the long run. Members can share images with each other in an extra section of the app, but each person gets their own private Photos account, too, and unless you explicitly decide to share images with your Family Vault, things will stay private for everyone. However, when thinking about the pricing, you need to keep in mind that Amazon allows you to share your unlimited photo storage with up to five friends or family members thanks to the so-called Family Vault.

There's no direct pendant to Google Photos' old free tier with unlimited compressed images. If you don't have Amazon Prime, you can still save up to 5GB of full-resolution photos and videos, but after that, you need to pay. With Amazon Photos, you're also looking at only 5GB of free video storage - you'll need to budget at least $2 more per month if you want to save loads of videos.
