It was in October that Google claimed that its social network, Google+, had 300 million active users.

While critics laughed it off, there is some truth to the fact that the two-year old social network does have some loyal fans.

While no one is leaving Facebook for Google+, a number of people aren’t hesitant to open a Google+ account, considering how tied it is with popular services of Google such as Gmail, Maps and Google Drive and so on and so forth.

Much like any other social network, Google+ only works if you build up a profile, and which using the ‘Circles’ option can control who sees what information of yours, there’s very little between these social networks except for a few tiny things.

However, there’s one aspect that sets it apart from the rest – photo sharing. It is for this reason that almost 1.5 billion photographs have been uploaded to Google every week.

Not only is it really easy to upload the photos via Chrome but you can drag and drop them onto Google+ as well. In fact, the Android and Google+ iOS apps lets you enable a feature of auto-backup for your images which are saved in a private album every time you take one.

But that’s not all – once your photos are on the network, you can use Lightbox to edit your photos, and which are better than most photo editing tools you’ll find on any other social network.

All in all, even Google+ has too many options, it still is the best social network if you’re looking for an excellent place to share your photographs.
