Google's Automatically automatic photo detection would win, however Ever is doing wrong.... All services that cose are...
Photos should be downloaded ASAP by website or app, once you login by "force" not as an "option" because you just know its only optional, less users will heed the warning.
Perhaps give people a option till the final day, and if they still don't take it up, he next time they login, it starts downloading without backing out. This way, less disgruntle users.

After seven years of operations, photo storage service Ever has announced that it plans to shut down on August 31, 2020, citing increasing competition from Apple and Google.
In a letter to customers, Ever says that all photos and videos stored on its servers are scheduled to be deleted on August 31, so affected users should follow Ever's export instructions below and read its FAQ as soon as possible to preserve their files:On the iPhone and other Apple devices, photos and videos automatically upload to iCloud when iCloud Photos is enabled.
(Thanks, Randy Reighard!)

The big issue here is the "free" landscape which started with Microsoft Internet Explorer (to make sure that Netscape never made any money on Navigator).
All the companies (Facebook, Google and to a lesser extent Apple, Amazon, Microsoft) are working on a data model rather than on a viable service to fee model. When there is no real market (all funded by VC money, all losing money), it's very difficult for an independent to get any traction.
I'm more excited to pay for standalone software than ever. The big worry is what a failed company will do with its licensing servers in bankruptcy. I'm thinking that if that does happen and the licensing server goes down, users will band together to create a cracked version quickly (which will not be illegal to use, as we've all paid for the software in the first place).
Keeping one's data in the cloud is a privacy nightmare. Cloud can only be considered one of the three copies one should have for digital data.
