Photo sharing and tagging are popular habits—new but still they will die hard. Thanks to the slew of photo-sharing/upload sites, photo-storage is not a deal except that you might be confused over choosing Flickr instead of Google Photos or vice-versa.
Google Photos and Flickr offer hordes of benefits—great tools for organization, superb editing specs, privacy settings that are top notch and also easy print settings. Nevertheless a head-to-head comparison of the two will ensure the better pick between the pair.

The loophole in storing photos over cyberspace on a password-protected basis is that you might lose stuff if the company chooses to wrap up the business. However, from experience and past records, most companies will give intimation in advance.
