Is anybody here using Google Photos Automatic Backup on their Mac (El Capitan)?
I decided to try out Google Photos on 10/13 and it worked great initially. The version installed was 1.11.298. A day or so later it auto-updated to 1.11.309, which now completely fails to open whatsoever. No menu bar icon, no preferences dialog, etc. I can see it running in Activity Monitor but photos are not uploading.
I've uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled, killed all .plist and preferences files, etc. I happened to have the old DMG and have confirmed that rolling back to .298 works great...until Google Auto Updater kills it with .309 shortly thereafter.
Was going to buy more space but hesitant to shell out cash for a product with zero accessible support.
To those running this on their Macs: Is this just a "me" problem or is the recent .309 update broken? (To see your full version number, find the App in your Applications folder, highlight it, and hit spacebar to see the details).
